Building on the celebrations,\u00a0RSYC warmly invites members of the media and public to its Christmas Boat Light-Up Parade on 13 Dec 2025<\/span> (Sat), from 6\u20139pm SGT, along 52 West Coast Ferry Road, Singapore<\/span> 126887<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Visitors will be greeted by a spectacle of illuminated yachts, Christmas trees, twinkling fairy lights, and imaginative nautical decorations that cast shimmering reflections across the marina. Whether enjoyed from the West Coast promenade or viewed from the shoreline, the light-up parade promises a captivating festive experience unlike any other in Singapore<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Beyond the parade, the marina will come alive with festive market featuring artisanal crafts, seasonal treats, and interactive activities suitable for families. This rare opening of the Club’s usually members-only spaces allows visitors a special opportunity to experience RSYC’s hospitality during the most festive time of the year.<\/p>\n

Note: <\/i><\/b>On 12 Dec 2025<\/span> (Fri)\u00a0 \u2013 a day before the parade \u2013 there will be an illuminated static boat display, and other activities such as carnival games, balloon sculpting, and a Christmas carolling session.<\/i><\/p>\n

This year’s parade also serves as the official prelude to RSYC’s landmark Bicentennial Year in 2026 (#RSYC200), a momentous milestone celebrating 200 years of maritime heritage<\/b>. It sets the stage for the Club’s upcoming Bicentennial Gala Dinner and Heritage Exhibition on 7 February 2026<\/span> (Sat)<\/b>, which will be graced by Guest-of-Honour President Tharman Shanmugaratnam<\/span> and Minister for Education and Member of Parliament for West Coast-Jurong West GRC, Desmond Lee<\/span><\/b>.<\/p>\n

The Bicentennial Gala Dinner will commemorate RSYC’s enduring contributions to Singapore’s<\/span> maritime community, tracing its evolution from its early beginnings, through World War II (the Japanese Occupation), and to its present-day role as an anchor of nautical tradition and camaraderie. Notably, the Club’s relationship with Singapore’s<\/span> leadership has been longstanding – President Yusof Ishak<\/span> served as RSYC’s first Patron in Singapore<\/span>, following earlier royal patronage by Prince Edward<\/span>, later King Edward VIII, in 1922<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The parade marks the beginning of a journey into RSYC’s year-long Bicentennial celebrations in 2026, which will include regattas, heritage exhibitions, community initiatives, and a slate of special commemorative events that blend tradition with forward-looking innovation.<\/p>\n
