SG MARINE GUIDE LAUNCHES THE SINGAPORE YACHTING FESTIVAL AT ONE°15 MARINA SENTOSA COVE, SINGAPORE

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SINGAPORE, 8 FEBRUARY 2023 – Singapore’s flourishing leisure marine industry has been bolstered with SG Marine Guide launching the Singapore Yachting Festival (“SYF”) which will take place on 27-30 April 2023 at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove.

To fill the void of the postponed Singapore Yacht Show, the Singapore Yachting Festival will put an end to speculation in the market of multiple yacht shows competing to launch in Singapore. In turn, SYF will act as a stopgap to enable a fully prepared and promoted yacht show to happen in 2024.

Singapore has long been regarded as a gateway and hub of Asia’s marine industry, the Singapore Yachting Festival will reinforce the exciting growth of the yachting industry by providing an event platform for world-leading yacht builders, water-sport toys, and lifestyle brands to showcase their products for the ever-increasing appetite of the Singapore and Asia audience.

Mr Wade Pearce, Founder of SG Marine Guide , will be leading the Singapore Yachting Festival, with the strong support and affirmation from the yachting community, coupled with over a decade of marine events experience in Asia, Mr Pearce is confident that a successful event can be staged within a short time.

“Although we have a short timeline, we have been planning for an event for months. From a strong vantage point, ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove is an ideal venue to host such an event

with the marina basin surrounded by busy restaurants. It naturally captures thousands of Sentosa Cove residents, coupled with the added appeal of the yachts on display at SYF, the event will attract thousands of visitors to Sentosa from Singapore and the rest of Asia.” said Mr Wade Pearce, Founder of SG Marine Guide.

Mr Pearce continued “Singapore’s yachting industry has expanded strongly over the past three years. In addition, expectations are high from both local dealerships and international brands looking for new distribution and clientele in the region. With such high demand, this gives us great confidence to stage an exceptional event in 2023.

Mr Arthur Tay, CEO and Executive Director of SUTL Enterprise Limited (“SUTL”) , said: “After a three-year hiatus from the last event, we are delighted to be the venue host of the Singapore Yachting Festival. Together with SG Marine Guide, we are confident to deliver an exciting and successful event in response to the booming yachting industry in Asia. This is critical to Singapore as a yachting and lifestyle destination, bringing together leading players in Australia, Europe and America, converging at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove.”

The event site plan and rates are now available for potential sponsors and exhibitors, if you would like to learn more about the event in person, the Singapore Yachting Festival will hold a presentation at the upcoming Grow Boating Singapore on February 17th at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove.

How do we kickstart the yacht event planning process?

Kickstart planning your yacht event in 4 steps:

1. Event Details: Share the type of event you're planning.

2. Know Your Guests: Provide information about your guests to help us curate an experience suitable for them.

3. Date/Time: Specify the date and time. Rates vary between weekdays, weekends, and public holidays.

4. Special Requests: Let us know if you have any special requests or preferences to further customize your event.

What is the maximum number of guests you can charter?

Commercial charters typically accommodate up to 50-55 guests due to insurance considerations. Everyone, regardless of age, is counted as a guest.

At SAILUXO, we match yachts to your event type and requirements. For larger gatherings, a creative solution can involve joining multiple yachts. However, bookings operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. Therefore, we recommend securing your charter 3-4 months in advance for special occasions.

How much does it cost to charter a yacht?

Yacht charter costs vary depending on size and guest count:

Small Sized yacht: Suitable for 10 guests, prices range from $500-$1000 for 3-4 hours.

Mid-Sized yacht: Prices range between $1500-$3000.

Premium & Luxury Super yacht: Prices range between $4000-$15,000.

Please note these costs can fluctuate based on the number of guests. For the best advice, we recommend speaking with our yacht specialists.

Can I bring my own food and drinks on the yacht?

Absolutely, you're welcome to cater your own food and drinks.

However, if you prefer a hassle-free experience, SAILUXO offers premier in-house yacht catering. Our team specializes in catering to yacht events, whether it's food catering or providing a live station with a yacht chef. Trust SAILUXO to take care of all your catering needs.

Can we bring our own alcohol onboard?

Absolutely, guests are welcome to bring their own alcohol. However, please note that some yachts have specific rules regarding red wine . In case of any spillage causing stains or damage to the yacht's facilities, guests may be liable for the cleanup or repair costs.

Super Yacht

Super Yachts or Mega Yachts are very expensive, privately owned,professionally crewed sailing or motor yachts. There is no industry-wide standard for the difference between super yacht and mega yacht. The only legal distinction between them is the length of the yacht - above 24 metres and above 50 metres respectively

Sailing Yacht

Plenty of them in South East Asia. Sailing yacht is a leisure craft that uses sails as its primary means of propulsion. They have a keel, centreboard and daggerboard. In recent years, these yachts have evolved from fairly simple vessels with basic accommodation into sophisticated and luxurious boats.

Motor Yacht

Commonly known as recreational yachts that normally range from 10 metres and above; and made of fibreglass, aluminium, steel or carbon fibre. Clever use of ergonomics allows interior space in the salon for a galley (kitchen), bedroom, navigation area and equipment plus large deck areas in some for relaxation.

A catamaran is a two hulled craft that derives stability on water from its wide beam that reduces the rocking motion. The two hulls are connected by a bridging structure with webbing. Catamarans have large and spacious interiors and cabin space. Catamarans usually have a shorter draft than monohulls.

Monohulls use heavy, weighted keels suspended under water to keep the boat upright. In theory, no matter how much you heel, gravity will not let the keel come out of the water. We have a varied range in this category of yachts in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.

Classic Yacht

Wooden yachts or even those built in an era not current. These yachts have a keel fitted in the lower portion of the hull for better directional stability and also keep the boat upright. Gravity will not let the keel come out of water no matter much how much the boat heels.

We offer unforgettable experiences for every occasion.

Best known for its cultural diversity, colonial history, world-class shopping, varied cuisines, the F1 Grand Prix and the beaches of Sentosa Island, this tiny red dot has made its mark, not only with its infrastucture on land but also with its state-of-the-art marinas. If you're looking for the ideal and unique venue event - we highly recommend doing it on a motor or sailing luxury yacht charter in Singapore. Events on yachts are often far more impactful than just hiring another hotel meeting room. We have a full range of boats and activities for corporate entertainment, private parties or for unique, sailboat based, team building events.

The Malaysian waters are well protected and the sailing conditions are not very demanding. The main Malaysia yacht charter areas are Langkawi, Tioman and their surrounding islands. The Langkawi Archipelago is located in northwest Malaysia near the Thai border. The sailing area is north of the Strait of Malacca in the southern Andaman Sea and includes a group of 99 islands. Tioman is located in the Gulf of Thailand, about 30 nautical miles east of the mainland of the Malay Peninsula. The sailing area covers the entire archipelago between Tioman and Aur, and the islands off the coast of Mersing. The islands in the vicinity are all close together and ideal for island hopping. Pulau Rawa, Seri Buat, Tinggi, Sibu and Pemanggil are some of neighboring islands. Sebana Cove is another popular detination for sailing from Singapore. A two to five day voyage planning is required.

With astounding diversity, the islands of the Indonesian archipelago offer some of the world’s best diving, snorkelling, fishing spots. Extending over 5000 km from east to west, and over 1700 km north to south, the 17,000 plus islands make up the largest archipelago in the world. Its proximity to Singapore, makes the country even more attractive for a weekend getaway for 2-4 days to nearby islands like Mapur, Nikoi, Pulau Pankil, Bintan and Batam and even the most scenic Anambas Islands. Very few sailing experiences can compare with the culture, history and scenery that Indonesia has to offer, so why not be one of the few to properly explore the magical waters.

The best sailing destination in South East Asia. Thailand is located very close to the equator and outside the cyclone zone of the Pacific and Indian Ocean. That’s why it is possible to sail all the year around. The northeast monsoon (dry season) begins in November and ends in April. The wind speed during this time is between 5 and 20 knots (1 kn = 1.852 km/h) from northeast. The southwest monsoon (rainy season) begins in May and takes place until October. During this time there is much wind and better sailing conditions as in the dry season. From Singapore, if you are planning a voyage to Phuket and nearby islands, then a 12-15 days trip would be ideal. Charters from Phuket offers so much variety, culture and adventure that you'll be constantly amazed!

Yacht Vacations

SoHo Yatch

Most people do not get to enjoy the beauty of sailing during their holiday season. Yacht Vacations seem to be a reserve for the rich only — some may think that way. This is especially true when we see countless number of celebrities from all over the world sharing images of their private yachts on media. Ask a couple of your friends about how they will spend their holidays and very few will tell you that they are considering sailing.

This is not to mean that only a few people desire to sail. They just have not been well exposed to what is on offer as far as yacht vacations are concerned. In addition, the few who have been on boats may not had the cruises they desired.

Yacht tragedy: Horrifying reality of being sucked into 'black swan' waterspout as bodies found

It is believed the Bayesian superyacht was struck by a waterspout while it was anchored off the coast of Italy in the early hours of Monday, causing it to capsize and killing several onboard

The Bayesian yacht sank off the coast of Palermo

  • 16:05, 21 Aug 2024

Witnesses reported seeing a terrifying tornado-like phenomenon hit the Bayesian superyacht at sea before it went down.

The 56-metre luxury yacht, carrying 22 people, sank off the coast of Italy during a violent storm in the early hours of Monday morning. Fifteen people were initially rescued and one person, chef Recaldo Thomas, tragically died . Six passengers remained missing until two bodies were pulled from the water today. Their identities have not yet been revealed.

Italian emergency services continue to look for those who have not been accounted for as the sunken vessel sits fully intact on its side around 165ft underwater. It plunged to the bottom of the ocean within a matter of minutes while another, smaller boat that was just 100m away remained intact.

Questions have emerged about how the boat capsized with attention on sea tornados, known as waterspouts. But what are they and what happens when you get sucked into one?

Talking to The Times , marine experts told how the horrifying event - dubbed a 'black swan' on account of its rarity - would have battered the £14million boat.

Matthew Schanck, chairman of the Maritime Search and Rescue Council, said: "Looking at the extreme weather , if it was a waterspout, which it appears to be, it's what I would class as like a black swan event. And if the waterspout ends up dumping a load of that water on board the vessel, that’s going to cause significant damage."

A fisherman in Porticello, near Palermo, said, through a translator, that he saw a "tornado" on Monday morning, and a flare in the sky - typically used as a distress signal - moments later. But James Catfield, who captained the boat, said: "We didn't see it coming."

Tornadic waterspouts, which develop downward in a thunderstorm, can either form over water or move from land to water and have the same characteristics as a land tornado, according to the US National Ocean Service. Many storms have swept through Italy in recent days, with floods and landslides causing severe damage in the north of the country after weeks of scorching heat.

The Bayesian was fitted with a 75-metre mast, the world 's second-tallest, which would have made the vessel particularly vulnerable to getting caught up in a waterspout. Intense waterspouts, which are rare, can cause boats severe damage or even to capsize.

Dr Peter Inness, a meteorologist at the University of Reading, explained: "The majority of waterspouts are quite weak, resulting in a short burst of gusty winds, which although momentarily quite strong cause little damage because they are over the sea.

"But at the more intense end of the scale, winds of above 100kmh are possible, although actual wind measurements from inside waterspouts are very rare indeed. Winds of this strength coinciding with the location of a boat are capable of causing damage or capsize, especially because the wind direction varies very rapidly within a waterspout which could cause a boat to rock violently."

The meteorologist also said: "The Mediterranean is possibly one of the places where waterspouts are most likely around the world due to the warm ocean surface and a climate that is very susceptible to thunderstorms throughout the summer and autumn."

Waterspouts are often accompanied by high winds, large hail and lightning, so being inside one would feel dark and dangerous. The movement of a waterspout is very similar to a land tornado, that lifts and drops objects with force.

Dr Jian-Guo Li, a senior modelling scientist for the Met Office , said: "You may have seen many American tornado reports, which showed how cars and house roofs are sucked into the air and scattered around like toys. When it forms over the water surface, it pumps the water into the air, resulting in the waterspouts. When a boat or yacht happened to be in its centre, it could be lifted and dropped aside."

Experts puzzle over why Bayesian yacht sank. Was it a 'black swan event'?

Portrait of Cybele Mayes-Osterman

The Bayesian set off on a leisurely cruise around Italy's southern coast on a sunny day in late July.

The luxurious super yacht − which boasted one of the largest masts in the world and carried a crew of business moguls, including British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his family and a chair of Morgan Stanley − set sail from the Amalfi Coast, bound for Sicily.

Less than a month later, the ship had sunk 160 feet under the water , leaving its cook dead and six of its passengers, including at least two Americans, missing and prompting a massive search that has drawn international attention.

Now, experts are trying to piece together why in the early hours Monday the Bayesian was quickly pulled under the waves amid a storm that saw at least one tornado spin up over the water.

A perfect storm led to Bayesian sinking, experts say

The combination of unlikely factors that could have contributed to the ship's fate constituted a "black swan event," Matthew Schanck, chairman of the Maritime Search and Rescue Council, told USA TODAY.

The Bayesian was well-built: A 2008 product of Italian ship maker Perini, it was constructed in accordance with international maritime standards and commercially certified by the U.K.'s Maritime and Coastguard Agency, according to Schanck.

The bout of bad weather that swept the area when the ship went down was also out of the ordinary in the northern Mediterranean, "which isn't renowned for prolonged, significant stormy weather," he said.

"The fact that those two elements have then resulted in the foundering of a super yacht is pretty extraordinary," Schanck said. "These things don't happen every day."

After the ship sank just before 5 a.m. local time, 15 people, including a 1-year-old, were pulled from the water. Some were rescued from a life raft by the crew of a ship docked nearby.

Ricardo Thomas, the ship's cook and a native of Antigua, was found dead, according to authorities.

As of Tuesday, six people were missing, including Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter. Several missing passengers were involved in Lynch's trial on fraud charges, including Jonathan Bloomer, a Morgan Stanley chair who served as his character witness, and one of Lynch's attorneys. Lynch, accused of fraud after he sold his company to electronics giant Hewlett-Packard, was acquitted of all charges weeks ago.

Tornado formed over unusually hot water

Storms in the area that night may have whipped up a water spout, a tornado over the water , according to local meteorologists.

It was likely triggered by the water's unusual warmth, said Rick Shema, a certified consulting meteorologist who served in the Navy.

"The water spout was an uncommon occurrence," he said. "But again, these things happen, especially in warmer water."

At 83.7 degrees, water in the area was more than 3 degrees hotter than average on the day the Bayesian sank, likely the result of climate change, Shema said.

"Hurricanes can form at 80 degrees. This was almost four degrees higher than that," he said.

The water spout may have spun up when cooler air dropped from mountainous places nearby onto the hot water, he said. "A water spout is a vortex, basically like a tornado, spinning real fast, sucking up water and moisture as the column rises," he said.

Although water spouts only reach around 120 mph, as compared with tornadoes on land, which can reach up to 300 mph, "you don't need 200 mph to sink a ship," he said.

"Even an average tornado, 120 miles an hour, that's a lot of wind," he said, "which would heel the boat over for sure."

Water spouts spring up suddenly, Shema said. Before they strike, winds can be slow, but "once the water spout comes over, bam, it's on," he said.

Before sunrise, the ship's crew may not have seen the water spout coming. "The visibility was probably a big factor," he said.

With the windows of the yacht opened, as they likely were in the hot weather, the water spout could have triggered water that flooded through the portholes, Shema said, causing the ship to sink.

Tragedy strikes: Scramble to find survivors after Bayesian yacht sinks off Sicily coast

Search continues, but shift to recovery phase approaches

Italian authorities said the Bayesian was probably at anchor when the storm struck, meaning it couldn't maneuver and ride the waves, according to Mitchell Stoller, a captain and maritime expert witness. Other ships in the area that turned on their engines rode out the storm, he said.

"When you're at anchor and you see weather, you start your engine and you put the wind on the bow. You don't let it get on the side," he said.

Schanck said another key question concerns the position of the keel, a heavy weight underneath the boat that acts as a counterbalance to keep it upright, when the ship sank. When lifted, "that's going to affect the stability of the vessel, because, obviously, you've now raised the center of gravity of that vessel," he said.

The Bayesian was floating over 160 feet of water at the time, deep enough that the keel would likely be deployed. But the fact that "the vessel heeled over so heavily makes me question that," Schanck said.

The cause of the disaster may not be known until the ship can be examined in more detail, experts say. Prosecutors in a nearby town have already opened an investigation.

Schanck said investigators will have plenty to work with once the operation moves into a recovery phase.

"The vessel is intact and in good condition on the seabed," he said. "There's a lot of eyewitness accounts from other vessels in the area and the shore."

As the search entered its second day on Tuesday, the rescue effort may shift in that direction soon. "I suspect, later on, today or tomorrow, we'll probably see some mention of a recovery operation being stated," Schanck said.

The decision to would depend on whether rescuers find signs of life in the ship and air pockets or survivable spaces, Schanck said. At this point, survivors on the water's surface looks unlikely. "My professional opinion is that the casualties will be located within the vessel," he said.

"There is a risk versus benefit in all maritime search and rescue incidents," he said. "Where we start transitioning to a recovery phase, that line shifts."

Mike Lynch yacht sinking: 4 bodies found inside Bayesian boat that sank off Sicily, 2 more remain

Mike Lynch yacht sinking: 4 bodies found inside Bayesian boat that sank off Sicily, 2 more remain

Divers searching the wreck of a superyacht that sank off Sicily found four bodies Wednesday, as the search continued for two more missing passengers and questions intensified about why the vessel sank so quickly.

Divers and rescue crews unloaded two body bags from the rescue vessels that pulled into port at Porticello. Salvatore Cocina, head of the Sicily civil protection agency, said two other bodies had also been found Wednesday in the wreckage for a total of four.

The discovery indicated that the operation to search the hull on the seabed 50 meters (164 feet) underwater was a recovery one, not a rescue, given the amount of time that had passed and no signs of life had emerged over three days of searching, maritime experts said.

The Bayesian, a 56-meter (184-foot) British-flagged yacht, went down in a storm early Monday as it was moored about a kilometer (a half-mile) offshore. Civil protection officials said they believed the ship was struck by a tornado over the water, known as a waterspout, and sank quickly.

Fifteen people escaped in a lifeboat and were rescued by a nearby sailboat. One body was recovered Monday — that of the ship’s Antigua-born chef, Recaldo Thomas.

Six people remained unaccounted for, including British tech magnate Mike Lynch, his 18-year-old daughter and associates who had successfully defended him in a recent US federal fraud trial.

Investigators from the Termini Imerese Public Prosecutor’s Office, meanwhile, were acquiring evidence for their criminal investigation, which they opened immediately after the tragedy even though no formal suspects have been publicly identified.

Questions abound about what caused the superyacht, which was built in 2008 by Italian shipyard Perini Navi, to sink so quickly, when the nearby Sir Robert Baden Powell sailboat was largely spared and managed to rescue the 15 survivors.

Was it merely the case of a freak waterspout that knocked the ship to its side and allowed water to pour in through open hatches? What was the position of the keel, which on a large sailboat such as the Bayesian might have been retractable, to allow it to enter shallower ports?

“There’s a lot of uncertainty as to whether it had a lifting keel and whether it might have been up,” said Jean-Baptiste Souppez, a fellow of the Royal Institute of Naval Architects and the editor of the Journal of Sailing Technology. “But if it had, then that would reduce the amount of stability that the vessel had, and therefore made it easier for it to roll over on its side,” he said in an interview.

Yachts such as the Bayesian are also required to have watertight, sub-compartments that are specifically designed to prevent a rapid, catastrophic sinking even when some parts fill with water.

“So for the vessel to sink, especially this fast, you are really looking at taking water on board very quickly, but also in a number of locations along the length of the vessel, which again indicates that it might have been rolled over on its side,” Souppez said.

Italian coast guard and fire rescue divers, meanwhile, continued the underwater search in dangerous and time-consuming conditions. Because of the depth of the wreck — which is far deeper than most recreational divers are certified for and at a depth that requires special precautions — divers working in tag teams can only spend about 12 minutes at a time searching.

The limited dive time is designed in part to avoid decompression sickness, also known as the “bends,” which can occur when divers stay underwater for long periods and ascend too quickly, allowing nitrogen gas dissolved in the blood to form bubbles.

“The longer you stay, the slower your ascent has to be,” said Simon Rogerson, the editor of SCUBA magazine. He said the tight turnaround time suggests the managers of the operation are trying to limit the risks and recovery time after each dive.

“It sounds like they’re operating essentially on no decompression or very tight decompression, or they’re being extremely conservative,” he said.

The chairman of Morgan Stanley International, Jonathan Bloomer, and his wife are among those missing after a yacht sank off the coast of Sicily, the UK insurer Hiscox said on Tuesday (Aug 20).

"We are deeply shocked and saddened by this tragic event," Aki Hussain, Group CEO of Hiscox, which Bloomer has also chaired since 2023, said in a statement.

"Our thoughts are with all those affected, in particular our Chair, Jonathan Bloomer, and his wife Judy, who are among the missing, and with their family as they await further news from this terrible situation."

Six people, including UK tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his teenage daughter, are missing following the yacht capsizing early Monday.

The British-flagged Bayesian, which had 22 people aboard including 10 crew members, was anchored some 700m from port before dawn Monday when it was struck by a waterspout, a sort of mini tornado.

Bloomer, 70, has led a number of financial services organisations during his decades-spanning career.

He was a partner at Arthur Andersen before joining British firm Prudential plc in 1995, initially as its chief financial officer and then taking the role of CEO from 2000 to 2005.

He was then an operating partner at Cerberus Capital Management, the United States private equity and alternative investor, between 2006 and 2012.

Described as a seasoned board director, occupying various roles, Bloomer had been chair of Morgan Stanley International since 2016, according to his LinkedIn profile.
