Catamarans are popular in Singapore and throughout Asia because of their roominess, stability, efficiency, comfort, and luxury. Learn more about the 40-foot Bali Catspace and the high-performance upgrades it has, both sail catamaran options in the line. There is a catamaran for everyone, whether they’re in the market for the performance and style of a Leopard 53 Powercat, the exceptional range of an ILIAD 50, or the fun and unique design of an Aquila 36 Sport.
Festival goers can also party on the AquaBana lounge.
Cost-effectiveness, simplicity of maneuverability, distinctive features, and cutting-edge technology have contributed significantly to the meteoric rise in popularity of day boats and weekenders of all sizes.

There’s More to the Boats
The 2023 Singapore Yachting Festival will feature more than just these seaworthy marvels. Take the RHIB Ride for an exciting ride through the Southern Islands! Zoom around on a high-speed military-style boat, catching the big ocean waves of passing ships. Hang on tight as your skilled guide takes you on a heart-pounding tour through hidden coves and secret beaches, weaving in and out of the ocean waves. If you’d rather be below the surface, you can ride on a SEABOB, the best waterscooter in the world.
Explore the underwater on a Seabob.
Begin the celebrations in the world’s largest floating dance lounge, the AquaBanas. Show off your moves on the 100 sqm on-the-water dance floor (and accompanying dancing pole), relax at the bar with new acquaintances, or simply kick back and enjoy the fresh music blasted by a live DJ while taking in the busy harbour scene. Prepare to be greeted with open arms by the ultimate floating paradise!
The Kinetic Option’s e-surfboard.
The Kinetic Option, a Singaporean company, has invented and produced an e-surfboard, while Lift Foils and WaveShark, two of the most well-known companies in the e-foil sector, will also be demonstrating their products.
