By Rebecca Bradbury 6 April 2017

The Singapore Yacht Show 2017 got underway earlier today at the One°15 Marina in Sentosa Cove, Singapore, wowing all those in attendance with its impressive line-up of superyachts and international yachting brands.

Opening at 3pm local time, the seventh edition of the event got off to a fine start with a spectacular opening ceremony. There were also live performances and water toy demonstrations from the off, ensuring a vibrant setting which is sure to continue over the next three days.

Indeed, the Singapore Yacht Show provides a first-class platform for regional guests to meet yachting professionals, yacht owners and other VIPs in a highly social setting. A Welcome Cocktail Party takes place tonight, with parties, fashion shows and mixologist sessions to follow throughout the week.

The highlight of the day, however, is undoubtedly the appearance of the Espen Oino-designed 77m/253ft charter yacht ‘Silver Fast’ lined up in the award-winning marina. With her sparkling silver hue and sleek, stylish lines, the 2015 SilverYachts build is impossible not to spot.

Making her debut in Singapore and also turning heads is the 41m/135ft charter yacht ‘Ocean Emerald’. Designed by Norman Foster, she boasts a striking exterior profile as well as a minimalistic interior. No wonder she was chosen to appear in the remake of cult film Point Break.
