New for 2026 is a broader lifestyle programme designed to attract a wider audience. A dedicated Spotlight Zone will host masterclasses and talks covering wine, whisky, design, and culinary experiences. A new wellness segment will also introduce guided sessions focused on performance, recovery, and wellbeing.

On the water, sea trials and water toy demonstrations will give visitors hands on access to emerging marine technology. The experiential zone will feature activities such as electric foiling, paddleboarding, and fishing gear demonstrations.

On land, the event expands further into lifestyle territory with supercar displays, food and beverage offerings, and family friendly attractions. VIP guests will have access to dedicated lounges, networking opportunities, and premium hospitality experiences.

Organisers expect more than 13,000 visitors, reinforcing Singapore’s role as a central hub for the regional boating market. The event continues to position itself not just as a yacht show, but as a broader marine lifestyle platform.

On water fleet: from day boats to superyachts.

Visitors will have the chance to step aboard one of the most diverse yacht line ups seen in the region, spanning everything from compact day boats to full scale superyachts from leading international builders.

At the entry level, day boats built for island hopping and short coastal runs will feature strongly. The Asia premiere of the Saxdor 340 GTWA headlines this segment, joined by proven platforms such as the Galeon 440 Fly and Merry Fisher 1295 Fly. Across the marina, flybridge yachts continue to set the tone, with models like the Absolute Navetta 64, Sunseeker Manhattan 68 and Azimut Fly 62 drawing attention.

Sailing remains well represented. The Beneteau Oceanis 54 and Hanse 460 will appeal to cruising sailors, while both sailing and power catamarans reinforce their growing presence in the market. Notable entries include the Excess 13 and Lagoon 51, alongside power catamarans such as the Prestige M48 and Leopard 53.

Looking ahead, several models highlight the direction of modern yacht design, combining new layouts with evolving onboard systems. The Azimut Seadeck 7 and Princess X80 sit firmly in this space, pointing to where the next generation of yachts is heading.
