While the festival remains a key platform for the regional yachting industry, the 2026 edition broadens its appeal with a more diverse oPering, engaging both industry audiences and a new generation of visitors. It also continues to serve as a launchpad for global brands unveiling new models in Asia, drawing fresh names to the event each year.

With newelements introduced this year, we are expanding how visitors experience the world of yachting beyond the vessels themselves.”
