Singapore will host Asia's first super-yacht show this spring,
drawing the region's jet set to a marina full of multimillion-dollar water toys.
Although the city-state is
trying to position itself as a regional megaboating hub, the event is likely to cater
mostly to the Chinese market, as the
mainland has a growing share of nouveau-riche shoppers and a burgeoning yacht-building industry.
The show's organizers say they plan to consider only yachts that are 'luxurious and over 25 meters in length.' Super yachts are generally classified as
luxury motor or sailing yachts of 100 feet (30 meters) or longer, but the
definition can vary.
