Sail Expo success

The 2025 edition also showcased an impressive international lineup from 25 different brands. French, Danish, Dutch, German, Italian, American, and Australian yachts were all represented by their local dealers.

It was an opportunity for all the local dealers to work together for a common goal, to showcase the latest models.

Local Austarlian dealers, such as Cygnet, joined international brands, including French names: Jeanneau, Beneteau, Amel, Tofinou, Excess, and Lagoon catamarans. Also on show were Germany’s Bavaria and Hanse, the UK’s Moody Yachts, Denmark’s X-Yachts, and Italy’s Grand Soleil and Italia Yachts added European flair. The Dutch Saffier, American J Boats, South African Leopard catamarans, and homegrown Australian Cygnet completed the impressive, globe-spanning lineup.

The latest innovations in yacht design and technology were also there to explore, and opportunities were open for stepping aboard new models and meeting with the experts who bring these world-class brands to local waters.

Exhibitors reported strong interest across all categories, with buyers ranging from first-time owners to experienced sailors seeking to upgrade. The atmosphere along the waterfront was both lively and welcoming, with crowds taking advantage of the free entry and the chance to experience so many yachts in one place.

In addition to the on-water displays, the Pittwater Sail Expo also included a broad range of marine products, accessories, and service providers.

The waterfront precinct was filled with stands showcasing rigging and sail-making services, marine electronics, chandlery, and safety equipment, along with lifestyle brands and sailing apparel.

The show also featured community sailing initiatives and training programs designed to encourage participation at every level.

The Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club once again proved to be an ideal venue for an event of this scale, and with the combination of  its first-class marina facilities, professional organisation, and strong volunteer support, the club provided a welcoming setting for exhibitors and visitors alike.

The show reinforced Sydney’s reputation as one of Australia’s leading centres for sailing and marine activity.

Organisers expressed their appreciation to exhibitors, sponsors, and volunteers whose support made the event possible – and the strong attendance and excellent engagement across the marine industry for this year has also set a high standard for the future.

Planning is already underway for the 2026 Pittwater Sail Expo, which aims to expand on this success with even more yachts, gear, and interactive experiences for sailing enthusiasts.

For anyone with a passion for sailing, whether exploring their first yacht or admiring the latest designs, the Pittwater Sail Expo is a highlight of the national boating calendar, and organisers have expressed that they look forward to welcoming everyone back in 2026 for another successful celebration of sailing.
