Singapore’s marina sector is entering a new phase of growth following SUTL Enterprise Limited’s announcement that it has entered into a put-and-call option agreement to acquire Keppel Bay Marina for S$40 million. Upon completion, the facility will be rebranded as ONE°15 Marina Keppel Bay, further expanding the ONE°15 network and reinforcing Singapore’s role as a key hub for yacht movements, deliveries, and marine services in Asia.
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.
