Scheduled for completion in the second half of 2026, the acquisition will add 166 berths, including superyacht berthing for vessels up to 280 feet. Together with the 270 berths at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, SUTL will operate a combined 436 berths, creating the largest integrated marina footprint in Singapore. For yacht owners, brokers, and delivery specialists, this expansion increases berthing availability and operational flexibility for vessel handovers, commissioning, and regional repositioning.

A strategic mainland base for yacht movements

Situated within Singapore’s Greater Southern Waterfront, Marina at Keppel Bay offers a rare mainland marina location with direct access to the Central Business District and major transport links. This positioning is particularly attractive for yacht deliveries and management operations that require efficient access to shipyards, suppliers, customs clearance, and international transport infrastructure.

For companies like Sealync, which specializes in professional boat delivery, crew logistics, and yacht support services, centrally located marinas such as Keppel Bay are critical nodes. They enable smoother transitions during new yacht deliveries, import and export movements, sea trials, and crew changes—reducing downtime while maintaining high standards of vessel care and operational oversight.

Infrastructure upgrades aligned with delivery and commissioning needs

SUTL has outlined plans for phased infrastructure upgrades, including enhanced berthing systems, modernised marina facilities, and expanded services. These improvements are expected to support not only leisure boating but also the practical requirements of yacht commissioning, refits, and long-range delivery preparation.

As yacht sizes increase and owners demand seamless, end-to-end solutions, marinas that can accommodate professional delivery crews, technical teams, and logistics providers become increasingly valuable. Sealyn’s services—ranging from owner-represented deliveries to full operational coordination—are designed to integrate with these upgraded marina environments, ensuring vessels arrive on time, on spec, and ready for operation.

Strengthening Singapore’s role in regional yacht delivery routes

With ONE°15 marinas now anchored both at Sentosa Cove and Keppel Bay, Singapore offers two complementary bases for yacht operations: an island-style marina and a city-centric hub. This dual-marina model enhances Singapore’s appeal as a staging point for regional yacht deliveries across Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and beyond.

The proximity of these marinas supports operational synergies such as crew rotation, provisioning, and route planning—key considerations for professional delivery firms managing vessels across multiple jurisdictions and cruising grounds.

Sustainability, professionalism, and long-term value

SUTL’s emphasis on sustainability initiatives, marine education, and community engagement aligns with a broader industry shift toward responsible yachting and professional standards. For delivery specialists like Sealyn, operating within marinas that prioritise environmental stewardship and best practices reinforces trust with owners, shipyards, and insurers alike.

Looking ahead

The rebranding of Marina at Keppel Bay as ONE°15 Marina Keppel Bay represents more than an increase in berths—it reflects Singapore’s continued evolution as a strategic hub for yacht delivery, management, and lifecycle services. As marina capacity, infrastructure, and service ecosystems expand, companies like Sealyn are well positioned to support owners and builders with reliable, transparent, and expertly managed yacht deliveries throughout the region.

For the boating industry, this acquisition underscores a future where marina development and professional marine services work hand in hand to support the growing complexity and scale of modern yachting.

Now considered the ‘third superyacht region’, Asia is fast catching up to deliver exotic cruising experiences with high-standard marinas.

Thailand, the Andaman Islands (India), Malaysia, and the Maldives, along with Singapore, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia (Bali and Raja Ampat), are among the most sought-after destinations. Southeast Asia is undoubtedly becoming an even more attractive yachting destination. There are so many different cultures and cuisines to experience that there is much left to discover even when staying several months.

Unlike the superyacht playgrounds of summer Med cruising and the Caribbean in the winter, Southeast Asia’s sailing season is year-round, and more yachts are also coming eastward to lengthen the charter season and enjoy the balminess and friendly culture of the region.

Facilities are improving across Asia with new marinas and a growing skilled labour force. The easing of regulations in countries like Thailand also makes sailing smoother. Phuket is now a prime destination for yachts, and new marinas are in the pipeline.

Nestled strategically at the southernmost tip of Phuket island is the new ONE°15 Marina Panwa Phuket, the nearest departure point to the Phi Phi Islands.

“The new Phuket Marina Development is set to transform the Cape Panwa Peninsular at Ao Markham and the deep seaport”, reports Asia Pacific Superyachts co-founder Gordon Fernandes. “The Marina project will feature 171 berths for superyachts up to 200 feet and 25 hard-stand spaces with 80 dry-stack storage. The integrated marina club is a nautical lifestyle resort, equipped with yacht chartering, spa & wellness area and hotel facilities.”

Bali’s Port of Benoa is undergoing a major revamp. It will have a brand-new full-service superyacht marina that can accommodate 180 wet berths, including more than 50 superyachts up to 90 metres in length. The marina will have a modern yacht service area equipped with a travel lift capable of handling up to 200 tons and a high-quality fueling station.

Asia Pacific Superyachts Indonesia Captain Thomas Taatjes enthuses: “The new marina will attract even more global yachting enthusiasts wanting to explore Indonesia’s natural beauty in the biggest archipelago in the world.”

Amenities will include a prestigious yacht club, modern yacht service, luxury hospitality options and commercial areas with extensive retail, offices, entertainment and dining outlets.

The Maldives will mark a new era by introducing the first superyacht marina and fully integrated resort in the Maldives.

“Housing 120 berths, Atoll Estates’ new Zamani Islands will be an exclusive resort destination with the Maldives Zamani Islands Superyacht Marina in the Maldives.

Asia Pacific Superyachts Maldives Director & General Manager Mohamed Hameed commented:, “This cutting-edge project aims at transforming the superyacht experience into an exceptionally luxurious convenience. The project will encompass eight islands extending 5 kilometres into a natural lagoon, offering the country’s first Yacht Club and a 60,000 sqm Superyacht Marina.”

Sri Lanka’s new Colombo City Marina is designed to become the country’s new luxury maritime destination, housing as many as 250 mid-sized vessels alongside hotels, gourmet dining, retail outlets, entertainment centres, and recreational areas, according to Asia Pacific Superyachts Sri Lanka director Priyantha Perera. “The Marina will offer berthing space of 243 capacity for mid-to-large-size yachts and full-service facilities, including crew amenities, provisioning, maintenance and access to a yacht club.”
