In an unprecedented move, the biggest names in UK motor yachting joined forces to launch the exciting new boat show between 17th and 19th May 2013, proudly displaying the cream of the country’s boatbuilding expertise.

Spencer Brown, sales manager at Sunseeker Poole, said “As the Sunseeker representatives on the south coast we see this collaborative show as a very positive asset and benefit to our customer who can see rival models from all three major manufacturers in warm friendly marina environment. The show is about boats and leisure boating and this event enables us to show the best of the best!”

James Lumley, sales manager at Sunseeker Southampton, who are based at the premier Swanwick Marina said: “We have been delighted with the turn out of clients arriving on May 17.”

Sunseeker Southampton has joined a select group of other British boat manufacturers to showcase a selection of stunning yachts, including a number which was in the glistening waters of the River Hamble. The boat lovers visited the free show over the weekend to make the most of the opportunity to get up close and personal to the latest yachts before the traditional show season starts.

Sunseeker was leading the way with its superb San Remo luxury sports cruiser which launched earlier this year and resurrects the popular marque from Sunseeker’s long and rich history. With stunning looks, agile handling and a spacious interior, this new performance cruiser epitomizes everything the San Remo was adored for in the 1980s, whilst bringing it right up to date.

Also in attendance were three members of the chic and sleek Predator range (the Predator 53, 68 and Predator 80 yacht), in addition to the luxurious Manhattan 63, guaranteed to impress all who attended.

Christopher Head, Sales Director, Sunseeker London: “The British Motor Yacht Show is a great idea to help support the marine industry and offer a great array of interest into boating for our clients. The South Coast of the UK is a perfect opportunity for us to showcase as a perfect UK boating destination and working with other market leaders.”

Sunseeker was also hosting the ‘Sunseeker Beach Club’ from 3.30pm-5pm with Coleman Insurance on Saturday May 18th, so guests could join the Sunseeker team for drinks and conversation in the picturesque setting.

Singapore Yacht Show 2013 a Huge Success

May 06, 2013

This year’s Singapore Yacht Show (SYS) has been a great success, being declared as Asia’s most important yachting as well as boating industry event.

Singapore Yacht Show 2013

Singapore Yacht Show 2013

Managing director of organisers Singapore Yacht Events, Andy Treadwell, said the feedback from exhibitors, partners and those who attended the show was incredibly positive, and he was looking forward to an even more spectacular 2014 event. “Everybody who participated is saying that the number and quality of visitors at this year’s show was way beyond their expectations. They all seem to have had significant leads, and significant sales. They all agree that the ONE°15 Marina Club here in Sentosa Cove is the perfect venue for a regional show, and Singapore is the ideal business hub for the future of yachting and boating in Asia,” Mr Treadwell said.

Neil Hornsby, director of Burgess said: “It was incredibly well organised and attracted just the right calibre of clientele, so we were delighted, as indeed were the owners of sailing yacht Twizzle.”

This year’s event attracted more than double the number of last year’s exhibitors, including a significantly wider selection of vessels in the 30ft – 80ft category.

Exhibiting for the first time was Sunseeker Asia, one of the most popular brands worldwide, and represented in Singapore by Daniel Au, who commented: “Sunseeker is absolutely delighted with the outcome of SYS 2013. It is now by far the best show in Asia, with seriously promising results for us – especially in the superyacht range. We are working on several contracts with new clients who we met during the show – and we are confident that most of them will be finalised! The presence of Sunseeker in Singapore is now firmly established, and the success of the Singapore Yacht Show 2013 is a bold testament to the fast developing boating industry in this region.”

Meanwhile Nigel Beatty of Super Yacht Logistics, who attended both the Asia Pacific Superyacht Conference and Yacht Show said: “I was blown away as to how beneficial [the conference] is and I am definitely coming back next year […] the show has been excellent, absolutely excellent. [It] is exceptional… not as big as the Monaco Yacht Show or the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, but it is a high quality show. There is a lot of quality here and that’s what counts.”

The event’s registration provider Go Gorilla recorded over 8,000 visitors to ONE°15 Marina Club over the four days of the show – nearly double last year’s ticketed entries – and a record 11,000 people registered their interest in the show online before and during the event.

Mr Treadwell said he and his team were taking exhibitor feedback on board and were looking forward to increasing, and maximising the on-water display area next year, as per their requests.

SYS 2013 a Huge Success

What the industry is saying
Tom Richardson, of Fairline Boats said: “As well as a superb opportunity to display our yachts to hundreds of visitors, we also secured a number of new sales at the show.  The Singapore Yacht Show delivered good footfall and more importantly a large number of quality High Net Worth and Ultra High Net Worth visitors. The event has certainly proved itself to be one of the leading shows across the Asia-Pacific region. We look forward to attending the show again in 2014 and hopefully achieving an even greater success.”

MaryAnne Edwards, CEO of Superyacht Australia thanked managing director of Singapore Yacht Events, Andy Treadwell, for delivering a yachting and boating event “that has all ingredients to be the stand out show for the superyacht sector in the Asian region”.

She said she was impressed by his dedication over the past few years to ensure this event succeeded and grew into an event that would service the needs of the region and be a showcase for how it should be done. “I will certainly be recommending to our superyacht members that they look to participate in the conference and the show next year.”

On the second day of the show, Mark Cavendish, sales director at Heesen Yachts said: “Today I literally just walked on the stand and there was a gentleman from Jakarta who has a 36 metre motor yacht and he was interested in our 40 metre yacht. What more can you ask for.”

“We are very keen to develop the Asian market, because I don’t know how much business there will be in Europe in the next 5 to 10 years,” he added.

Eric Koh of SG Boating added: “Thank you and your tireless crew for putting up a great show and making this a wonderful platform for SG Boating. Great job! Book us for next year!”

British Excellence showcased by BMF at China International Boat Show

April 26, 2013

The British Excellence has been sucessfully showcased by the British Marine Federation (BMF), with funding from UK Trade & Investment, at this year’s China (Shanghai) International Boat Show (CIBS), which ended up last week. Eight British companies participated to promote goods as well as services to demonstrate what the UK can offer to the Chinese market.

34,822 people from 51 countries attended this year’s show. For the show, the BMF had specifically produced its Excellence Guide in Mandarin which promotes BMF members and British Marine Industry Craftsmanship, Innovation and Design.

The eight companies were a mix of products and services that included BMT, Complete Marine Freight, Jeremy Rogers Ltd, Marina Projects, Oceanair, Oceanstyle by Burgess, Spinlock and Wilks.

UK boatbuilders were well represented at the show with Sunseeker, Princess and Fairline all taking noticeable presence. Other UK companies that were also promoting themselves included RS Sailing and Bill Dixon.

Jeremy Rowles, Spinlock Ltd, commented
, “We certainly received some interest in products from the end user but also Spinlock now has an approximate idea of what will be required, and when, to support the fledgling domestic leisure marine market. Attendance by our Chinese export builders was also good. It was an all round useful trip which would have been costly to achieve any other way”.

Jeff Houlgrave, Marina Projects, feedback, “Marina Projects presence at the show was a success enhanced by the hard work and efforts made by the BMF. It was a pleasure to be there with the others companies and this teamwork clearly shows what is possible when we work together. The translators were essential and enabled clear communication with the visitors. Marina Projects has some  interesting leads from the show and are already working with some the contacts we made.”

Singapore Yacht Show 2013 now officially open

April 18, 2013

Being attended by more than double the number of exhibitors in comparison to last year, the third annual Singapore Yacht Show is now officially open, hosting plenty of amazing brands as well as luxury yachts, making their Asia premiere at the show.

Managing director of Singapore Yacht Events Andy Treadwell, said he was proud the event was achieving what it was asked to deliver at the beginning of the venture, “a yachting and boating event with all the vibrancy, quality and reputation of the world’s best marine shows”.

“We’ve more than doubled our on-water display again this year, with a world-class line-up of vessels, encompassing some incredible glamorous superyachts with all the on-board toys and tenders a billionaire could want, but also sporty runabouts, tenders and sailboats perfect for the first time buyer. There really is something for everyone,” he said.

That list includes; the magnificent 57.5m S/Y Twizzle, making her yacht show debut at the show, Kingship’s motoryacht Star, the beautiful classic charter yacht Shamoun, motor yacht Sapphire and the 59.3m superyacht I-Dynasty.

Superyacht Twizzle launched by Royal Huisman in 2010

Loyal and new exhibitors include; Palmer Johnson, Simpson Marine, Sunseeker, SG Boating, Luxury Yachts, Princess – exhibiting eight beautiful boats, La Marca Marine, Grand Banks, YPI, Burgess, Northrop and Johnson, Premium Nautical, the hugely innovative Wider Yachts and many more.

Complementing the yachting lifestyle on display, the event is also showcasing luxury cars, fabulous property and fine art. Celebrity DJ Miles Slater from a world-famous nightclub Boujis in Hong Kong and London is arriving to wow the crowds this weekend, and live fashion shows from international resort-wear brands will run on Saturday afternoon.

With so much going on every day – industry conferences, a sumptuous gala dinner tonight at the W Singapore – Sentosa Cove and plenty of parties – the Singapore Yacht Show 2013 is shaping up to be the region’s premier lifestyle event this year. “That some of the world’s biggest brands now see our event as the ideal platform to market to Asia’s growing wealthy classes, is testament to the importance of this show to the international yachting industry,” Mr Treadwell said.

In his opening address to media and VIP guests at ONE°15 Marina Club this afternoon, Mr Treadwell reiterated the three main objectives of Singapore Yacht Show. Firstly, to find new business in a new market for the worldwide yachting and boating industry. Secondly, to introduce a whole new audience of increasingly wealthy people from right around Asia to the fun, the sport and the exhilaration of the yachting lifestyle.

Thirdly, the show aims to drive the significant economic impact that a growing yacht tourism and leisure marine industry will bring to Singapore and all of South East Asia, if it is properly supported, he said.

“In terms of the significance of the yacht show, and the quality of its exhibitors this year, there is little doubt that the Singapore Yacht Show is playing a very significant part in positioning Singapore as the South East Asia business hub for the international yachting and boating industry,” Mr Treadwell said.

Arthur Tay, chairman of ONE°15 Marina Club spoke of Singapore Yacht Show’s potential to become one of the city state’s most important and strategic events, alongside the Formula One Singapore Grand Prix.

“Yacht shows of this calibre are vital to the continued development of Singapore as the regional hub for luxury yachting and a major destination for the very top end of business and leisure tourism. Through the Singapore Yacht Show’s promotions and marketing, the world’s most notable private vessels are exposed to the infrastructure and services Singapore has to offer. This in turn supports the marinas, brokers, service providers and individual employers of Singapore’s luxury marine industry,” Mr Tay said.

Guest of honour, Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, said he believes South East Asia has the makings of a great yachting industry, naming the region’s great weather, beautiful beaches and islands just some of the drawcards.

Mr Treadwell said Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay’s recent investment in Wider Yachts demonstrated, “a true representative of the willingness of business leaders in the region to contribute to the development of the nascent yachting industry in Asia”.

Singapore Yacht Show is open to the public until 6pm today, and from 2pm until 8pm from Friday April 19 to Sunday April 21. Entry is $50.

Singapore Yacht Show 2013 to open tomorrow

April 17, 2013

The highly anticipated Singapore Yacht Show 2013 will start tomorrow, on April 18. The event will be hosting a bigger choice of boats, yachts as well as superyachts than Singapore has ever seen.

One°15 Marina Club is now a hive of activity with the 57.5m sailing yacht Twizzle, the 59.3m motor yacht I-Dynasty, Kingship’s 42m superyacht Star, Sunseeker’s 40m flagship yacht Tanvas, eight boats by Princess, Palmer Johnson’s 47m yacht Vantage, a 33m San Lorenzo yacht, luxury day cruisers by Wider Yachts and the classic 33m charter yacht Shamoun.

The number of exhibitors has more than doubled this year, presenting everything from sporty runabouts and sailboats, perfect for the first time buyer, to glamorous superyachts with all the on-board toys and tenders a billionaire could want.

The event also showcases luxury cars, fabulous property, private jets, contemporary art, and a live fashion show from international resort-wear brands (at 4pm Saturday, at Boaters’ Bar). Complementing the hip, beachside ambiance, DJ Miles Slater of exclusive, members-only nightclub Boujis in London and Hong Kong, will play from 2pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Managing director of Singapore Yacht Events, Andy Treadwell, said exhibitors anticipate healthy sales at this year’s event as the region’s growing number of increasingly wealthy people see boats as their next luxury leisure purchase.

“We are proud to be achieving what we were asked to deliver at the beginning – an event with the vibrancy, quality and reputation of the world’s best marine shows,” Mr Treadwell said.

“With so much going on every day – industry conferences, a luxury gala dinner tomorrow night and plenty of parties – the Singapore Yacht Show 2013 is shaping up to be the region’s premier lifestyle event this year.”

Speaking to journalists today, Roger Liang, founder and managing director of Kingship said he was excited to bring superyacht Star to Singapore Yacht Show. He built Asia’s first superyacht here in Singapore 20 years ago and has since been committed to building beautiful boats that match the Asian consumer’s needs as well as the  region’s regulations.
