Singapore Yachting Festival 2026: The notable yachts from Azimut, Sanlorenzo and more

Shot on location at the One°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, Singapore.

The 2026 edition of the Singapore Yachting Festival brought together a tightly curated selection of innovative vessels that reflect private yachting’s clear shift toward prioritising space, efficiency and long-range capability, alongside a growing emphasis on sustainability.

Among the highlights was the Sanlorenzo SD118. Measuring 35.75 metres, this tri-deck yacht represents a progression in the shipyard’s semi-displacement “Navetta” line, defined by its asymmetric configuration. A full walkaround on the port side opens into a terrace-like connection to the sea, while the starboard side adopts a wide-body layout to increase interior volume. The result is a more fluid relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces. This is further emphasised by a two-level bow designed for private use, and an extendable beach area that expands the aft platform into a 19-square-metre waterfront space.

With accommodation for ten guests across five cabins and a range of approximately 3,000 nautical miles, the SD118 is designed for extended stays without compromising spatial quality. Top: World-renowned brands gathered at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove for the Singapore Yachting Festival 2026.

The Nomad 101 from Gulf Craft offers another strong proposition. This 30.8-metre tri-deck yacht is built for extended exploration, with a range exceeding 3,000 nautical miles at cruising speeds. Its semi-displacement hull is engineered for stability in more demanding conditions, reinforcing its role as an expedition vessel. Inside, the volume approaches 200 gross tons, with five cabins accommodating up to ten guests.

The owner’s suite in the Nomad 101 is positioned to take advantage of 270-degree views, while multiple social areas, including a sky lounge and flybridge, support both private use and charter.

Azimut presented two contrasting but related approaches. The Magellano 60 blends explorer-style cruising with a more refined design language. Its Dual Mode hull is designed for efficiency across varying speeds, reaching up to 26 knots while maintaining fuel economy at lower cruising ranges. Notably, it is the first yacht in its class capable of running on biofuel, reducing carbon emissions significantly. The layout, which includes a glass transom aft cockpit, is designed to extend living space directly onto the water.

Alongside it, the Seadeck 7 introduces a hybrid approach to motor yachting. At 21.7 metres, it combines Volvo Penta IPS hybrid propulsion with a design focused on outdoor living. The aft “Fun Island” transforms the stern into an open terrace through folding side platforms, while the use of recycled materials and cork decking reflects a broader shift in construction. With four guest cabins across three decks, it is suitable for owners seeking sunny days and efficient cruising without compromising on comfort.

Sustainability also takes a central role in the Sunreef 60 Eco. This 18-metre catamaran integrates solar panels directly into the hull, superstructure and mast, supported by a custom battery system capable of powering onboard appliances around the clock. The experience on board is defined by quiet. Electric propulsion eliminates vibration and emissions, while the interiors favour natural and recycled materials, including reclaimed wood and alternatives to leather.

With four cabins and a flybridge designed for open-air living, the Sunreef 60 Eco is a viable option for long-distance cruising with fewer environmental trade-offs.

Last but not least is the Prestige M48. Designed by Garroni Design and Philippe Briand, it departs from the typical adaptation of sailing catamarans, and is built specifically for stability and cruising efficiency with notable proportions. With an interior volume comparable to a 60-foot monohull, the M48 offers a full-beam forward owner’s cabin and a six-metre-wide aft cockpit. The layout leans toward extended stays on board, supported by practical features such as joystick manoeuvring and a hydraulic swim platform suited for a tender.

The Prestige M48 is a 14.8-metre power catamaran that anchors the brand’s M-Line.
