Organisers announced the successful conclusion of this year’s Singapore Yachting Festival (SYF) which was held at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove.
The event which ran through 10th to 13th April welcomed over 12,000 visitors, featuring more than 100 participating brands, 20 of which made their debut at the festival.
With 70 yachts on display, including 10 premieres, two global debuts and 15 yachts over 24 metres, this year’s event reaffirmed Singapore’s reputation as Asia’s leading yachting hub.
SUTL Group and ONE°15 Marina chair and CEO Arthur Tay said of the Festival: “The response to SYF 2025 has been overwhelmingly positive, with visitors, exhibitors, and partners praising the curated experiences, innovative concepts, and range of yachts. It’s a strong affirmation of Singapore’s growing stature as Asia’s premier yachting hub. As the organiser, we’re proud to witness the continued expansion in both scale and impact, and we remain committed to raising the bar with each edition: delivering deeper engagement, stronger sustainability efforts, and broader global partnerships.”
SUTL Enterprise’s regional general manager for its marina division Jonathan Sit added: “The 2025 edition of the Singapore Yachting Festival was a resounding success, marking our largest and most comprehensive showcase to date,” said Jonathan Sit, Regional General Manager, Marina Division, “This year’s event saw a notable increase in international buyers and regional exhibitors, further reinforcing Singapore’s position as a key hub in Asia’s yachting and luxury lifestyle landscape.
