The Yacht Style Awards and gala dinner, an established and essential event in the yachting calendar, returns on Wednesday evening, April 22, at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, the night before this year’s Singapore Yachting Festival.
The lavish gala dinner in the Constellation Ballroom will feature an invitation-only audience of more than 300 VIPs, yacht owners and prospects, and major personalities in the yachting industry. It offers an opportunity for attendees to network and engage with yacht designs, trends and innovative solutions shaping the future of the industry.
Recognising the best of the yachting industry in the extended Asia region and internationally, more than 30 Award categories will be presented, devised to showcase excellence and creative flair in the industry both regionally and internationally.
Criteria for the yacht categories include innovation, design, build quality, dependability, environmental responsibility, owner experience, personal achievements and a focus on the Asia market.
For most yacht-related categories, the focus is on shipyards with representation in Asia. Models should have had a world premiere at a major boat show around the world or a leading Asia-Pacific show after last year’s Singapore Yachting Festival in April 2025.
Overall lengths are used for most boat categories, except for sailboats, where hull length is used. No nominees are listed for the Lifetime Achievement Award, although multiple candidates are being considered.
With the Nominees recently named, we list them below by category.
