Day Trip to the Southern Islands (St Johns Island, Lazarus Island)

Until recently this four-hour cruise was dominated by corporate gatherings or a party trip out to anchor at Lazarus Bay or St Johns. These days, a cruise out to the Southern Islands has become one of the most popular activities for families or friends looking to get together and enjoy an escape from Singapore. With a growing number of charter operators, a four-hour trip to the Southern Island is quite affordable for a luxury group experience.

Pulau Hantu Trips

This little pocket of paradise gives you a whole range of interesting things to do, the most well-known of them are diving, if you aren’t into diving this is still a very interesting Island to explore. With smaller draft vessels you can go inside the lagoons to get a more exclusive location, for the bigger boats, they stay outside the lagoon and will run tenders/small boats from the boat to the island. At low tide is also a sight to see as the lagoons dry out you can make your way across from Island to Island or search around the tidal zones for unique marine life

Pulau Ubin/Ketam

Ketam Channel is possibly the most tranquil and peaceful place in all of Singapore, located between Pulau Ketam and Pulau Ubin you have a space of water that is calm with river estuaries running through Ubin ripe for exploring by kayak or SUP, at high tides you can go all the way through the island’s waterways.

Overnight Trips

Pre-Covid in Singapore, this was probably not a thing to do but recently with the influx of regular charterers and a nation-wide drive for “stay-cations”, overnight trips have become a lot more interesting for those in Singapore, and why not, you get to see two of the most beautiful times on the water, the sunrise and sunset all while being looked after by crew cooking bbq while you take in the stars.

Fishing Trips

The Fishing Kaki’s of Singapore has always been a strong group amplified by the abundance of fishing sites and range of species in Singapore waters. Many of the fishing charter boats have dedicated areas they operate in, out of Marina’s in the North they will stick to northern islands, out of ONE15 Marina and Keppel Marina they will stick around the Southern Islands, RSYC and Raffles Marina will be active around Cyrene Reef, Raffles Lighthouse and Tuas break wall.

Wake Sports

Wakeboarding, wake surfing, and wake foiling charters almost exclusively operate around Seletar out of SAF and Punggol Marina, there are also operators out of Raffles Marina who make their way to Pulau Sarimbun. Cost of wake sports are pretty inexpensive for a few hours on the water, unfortunately, due to Singapore’s congested marine space, there is only a hand full of wake sports areas that operators can go to.

Diving

Singapore has a very active diving community, each week the diving locations of Pulau Hantu and Pulau Jong will be visited by dive instructors and charter operators. Mostly operating out of the ONE15 Marina, Keppel, and RSYC, a few of the charter boats are also dive instructors though there are a number of dive instructors who charter specific dive-friendly boats for their customers.

Sailing

Sailing charters have traditionally struggled in Singapore, sailing courses on dinghies are available out of most marinas, Changi Sailing Club, SAF, Constant Winds, RSYC, and Raffles Marina but these predominately stay around the marina areas. In recent times, there has been an emergence of sailing charters out of ONE15 Marina and Keppel Marina that include passage planning and overnight trips from South to North.

Bareboat Rentals –  Self Drive Charters

Bareboat charter and self-drive rental are well known around the world as a convenient and cost-effective way to drive your own boat with no crew, or provisions; instead, the people who rent the vessel from the operator take full responsibility for any damages occurred. As Singapore requires a Personal Pleasure Craft Drivers License (PPCDL) to drive any port licensed vessel this has made bareboat offering limited to those who have passed the local license along with additional training by the operator.

Jet Ski Rental

One of the funniest ways to get around the islands and into marine areas that boats generally can’t get into, in order to rent a Jet Ski in Singapore the driver will be required to have a Power Pleasure Craft Driving License (PPCLD). Similar to bareboat charter, the thrill of being in control of your own vessel without the drag of owning makes these activities very popular.

Superyachts

Superyacht Charter is the epitome of the charter industry, the most bespoke and luxurious vacation available. Superyachts come with experienced crew and staff that cater to the highest level of service for ultra-high net worth individuals. Unfortunately due to Singapore’s lack of destinations and strict commercial guidelines, there is less than a handful of luxury superyachts available for charter.
