Casino Resort Living envisions robust growth in South East Asia’s yachting industry as new billionaires emerge in the region and changing lifestyles embrace the yachting lifestyle.

Some of the finest superyachts already ply lesser known but remarkable diving grounds across the region and are ideal for charter for corporate entertainment and family vacations.

The Singapore Yacht Show will surely grow and attract more superyachts to Singapore in years to come.
