Yachting

Marking the momentous Asia-Pacific launch of Sunseeker's latest yacht, the 90 Ocean, Boulevard and DCH Marine hosted an intimate sunset soiree during the 2025 Singapore Yachting Festival. On a balmy Friday evening, forty private clients stepped aboard the striking 90-foot superyacht for an exclusive preview. With a live DJ setting the tone and champagne in hand, guests explored the vessel’s expansive layout and bold design, the hallmarks of a yacht crafted with both comfort and elegance in mind.

Back for another spectacular edition, the 2025 Singapore Yachting Festival set sail at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, bringing together an impressive fleet of luxury motor yachts, sophisticated sailing vessels and high-performance tenders from across the globe.

Riviera, a family-owned company, has built a reputation over 45 years and 6,000 boats for quality, innovation, and a focus on the overall boating experience. Rodney Longhurst, heir to the Riviera legacy and current owner, shares insights into what sets the brand apart, the evolving preferences of yacht owners across the globe, and how technology is reshaping the future of boating. From the thrill of discovery to the art of refinement, Longhurst reveals how Riviera is shaping not just boats, but the ultimate luxury lifestyle.

For more than four decades, the contours of Riviera's yachts have been heralded for their timeless beauty. And at its most recent milestone, the Maison would highlight its design evolution with the launch of the Australian motoryacht manufacturer's 6,000th motor yacht at its world class production facility on Queensland's Gold Coast.

The year 2023 marked a turning point for Yihong Yachts, as the shipyard began to explore more global opportunities for Aquitalia. At last year's Cannes Yachting Festival, for instance, the Aquitalia 78 wowed audiences, and was heralded for being a triumph of engineering.

In 1968, brothers Alessandro and Norberto Ferretti and Norberto Ferretti founded the Ferretti company as a small boat manufacturer. Demonstrating their proficiency over decades, the Italian outfit would eventually turn their boat crafting talents towards luxury yachts.

The wallywhy200 superyacht rears up in the historic vieux port of Saint-Tropez, broad, angular and brooding in its black carbon-fibre and metallics that glint in the sun and catch the eye amidst the more conventional power yachts and sailing boats, the pastels and the cobblestones of the picturesque harbour. Drippingly chic with its teak beach-platform and elegantly arrayed daybeds framed by sharp, linear rails and mirrored black ceilings, the superyacht is almost out of place in this hedonistic Riviera hotspot, as if it belonged on set serving as a Bond villain’s pleasure barge, or in some noir future world given over to unabashed luxury and devastating design.

Back for its 55th run, the 2024 Sydney International Boat Show featured an impressive lineup of cutting-edge motor yachts, sophisticated sailing vessels and some of the most sumptuous super-yachts in the world. The four-day event at the iconic Darling Harbour brought together 185 exhibitors and 618 boats, showcasing 44 Asia-Pacific and Australian premieres and launches.
