THE PENT-UP DEMAND to be back on the water turns our thoughts to finding the right craft to help us get back in the game. Robb Report Singapore, together with Simpson Marine – Asia’s leading yacht broker – showcases six new yachts and a curvaceous catamaran on the market to help you rediscover your sea legs so that you can embrace sailing once again.
SANLORENZO SX76 (arriving soon)
Designed as a social boat that maximises all on-board spaces, SX76 is a unique crossover between traditional classic flybridge yachts and explorer yachts. This vessel is extremely seaworthy as the ultimate hub for the finest on-water living.
AQUILA 44

LAGOON 42
A family friendly and easy cruiser, Lagoon 42 boasts a structural revolution with completely new ergonomics that guarantee an excellent layout of space and fluid circulation on board.

An artistic structural element of a ‘floating staircase’, which connects the saloon and the flybridge, is one of her outstanding features.
FAIRLINE SQUADRON 68 EVOQUE
Fairline’s flagship capitalises on the successful Squadron 68 with a new layout for the Evoque, featuring new hull windows and a new hard top.
