Full Steam Ahead for the Singapore Yacht Show!
With just over four months to go to the opening of the Singapore Yacht Show’s (SYS) 10th Anniversary, and the Singapore Government’s current advice still positive that large scale events like ours will be able to resume “nearly normal” service from the beginning of October, we and our Partners are busy working hard (from home!) to make this landmark edition one to remember - in more ways than one!
We will shortly be finalising with the Singapore Tourism Board and the Ministry of Health just what protective procedures we will need to implement at this year's Show. Like every other event organiser, we are naturally determined to fully protect every single individual - exhibitors, partners, sponsors, contractors and visitors alike - involved in any way at the Show. We will adhere to all the guidelines our stakeholders recommend.
SYS 2020 will once again bring together leading yacht brands from all over the world, alongside service and accessory providers as well as luxury lifestyle offerings, all displaying their latest models, innovations, design concepts and new product launches.
For the very first time, the four-day event, running from 15-18 October, will be moved almost entirely on to the water - in the completely re-designed and rejuvenated ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove! Thanks to the new pontoon configuration, SYS will feature air-conditioned exhibition booths and showrooms all around the perimeter of the marina – so that visitors can go straight to the heart of the action for an immersive, 360-degree experience. Don't miss out on participating in this new format!
Princess Yachts will be showcasing their usual impressive fleet of yachts, including the latest addition to the Flybridge range, their flagship Princess F70 and the head-turning 26m Princess Y85.
SYS 2020, having been one of the first boat shows in the world to unfortunately have to postpone, may nevertheless be one of the first to go ahead again. We are planning all the health screenings, heightened security and social distancing procedures that the government is advising, and we are getting more and more indications of support and attendance from potential buyers and local dealerships like Princess Yachts SEA: “Perhaps surprisingly, the level of enquiries we have received during this pandemic period has been well up – both for buying and for charter," says their Country Head in Singapore, Alister Brunskill. Many of our other exhibitors in both Hong Kong and Singapore are saying exactly the same thing.
We are confident that the rescheduled SYS, closely followed by the inaugural Hong Kong Yacht Show (HKYS) from 19-22 November, will give the industry here the boost it will badly need by then. If you would like to find out how your company can get involved in either SYS or HKYS and showcase your brand to this captive audience of buyers, please get in touch with our sales team.
