Aptly named the Jolly Buddy, this monohull yacht can carry up to 7 people out to the open sea for as little as $250 half a day. It’s perfect for a day of fishing or island hopping. Just note that the boat doesn’t come with entertainment, but you’re free to bring food, drinks, and your pets.
The Jolly Buddy comes with a captain so you can relax under a shaded canopy without having to worry about navigating the boat. But if you have a boat license, feel free to be the captain yourself.
Price: From $250 for 7 pax for half a day ($36/pax)

This 43-foot yacht has a massive upper open deck and comes complete with comfy bean bags so you can do what you do best: chill.

There’s even a karaoke setup with a surround sound system for you to play Celine Dion all day long.
Price: From $1,500 for 28 pax ($53.57/pax)

We often associate snorkelling and kayaking with beach getaways in Phuket or Bali, but you can just as well do those activities in Singapore, from a private yacht, no less.

Klook’s Sunrise Private Yacht takes you to the picturesque island of Lazarus and its quiet beaches of powdery white sand. Snorkel in the deep blue or fit in some exercise aboard one of their two kayaks to explore the sweeping lagoon of the island. Bathroom and shower facilities are also provided on the yacht to clean up after!

Water sports always get tummies rumbling, and if you don’t want to worry about refuelling after, do opt for the add-on Grill Service ($150) to have access to the yacht’s grill for a barbeque onboard. Ingredients aren’t provided, but you can easily pop by Fairprice Xtra at VivoCity to stock up!
Price: From $916.99 for 10 pax ($91.69/pax)

The idea of simply sitting back and chilling suits some of us, but if you prefer your “yachtcation” to be jam-packed, wave goodbye to any semblance of a sedentary life with Clipper Heritage’s No Name One.

Everything you could possibly need for a day of fun in the sun, this yacht has. Hop on a stand-up paddleboard to explore the waters or lie on their inflatable floats to soak up some vitamin D. A double-seater kayak, free-flow of soft drinks, and ice will also be provided.

Snappers, mackerels and groupers are some of the common fish in Singapore’s waters – so also try your luck with fishing, with their two fishing rods and prawn bait provided upon request. You may just find yourself with some fresh catch of the day to enjoy for dinner!

Yachts take us to wide open seas, but hardly do we ever get to enjoy a humongous space to frolic and play, much less lay out a mat for suntanning or a session of yoga.
Measuring 53 feet long, Power Catamaran’s Kingdom is a mammoth in the yacht world. On a regular day, this catamaran fits a whopping 35 people, and is large enough to smoothly cruise through the open seas, and comfortably take you from Singapore all the way to Thailand. That’s something to KIV for future trips!

For now, other than lounging on their spacious decks or sippin’ on a drink in their expansive outdoor cockpits, you can head on up to the flybridge on the second level to enjoy 360° panoramic views of your surroundings as you sail around Singapore.
A fully air-conditioned interior with a lounge, kitchenette and wine cellar will also be waiting indoors, should you decide it’s time to take a break from the sun.

The recommended itinerary will let you dock the yacht at one of the Southern Islands for three hours, before continuing your cruise along the Marina Bay skyline, and then heading back to shore.
Price: From $1080 per 5 pax ($216/pax)

We’re always on the lookout for the next romantic restaurant, from ones with unblocked panoramic views to scenic ones of Singapore’s waterfront. Impress bae for your next date with a sunset dinner cruise on the Royal Albatross, available Fridays to Sundays.

The superyacht is Singapore’s only tall ship, a.k.a. an old-world style boat, with large sails and towering high masts. If you’re wondering, the latter is open for visitors to climb up, at a fee of $38.

Upon entering the ship, you’ll be greeted with a mocktail before settling down for a 3-course meal consisting of an appetiser, main, and dessert, whilst enjoying the view of the setting sun.
The ship’s full capacity is 130 persons, but due to safe distancing measures, there are limited slots available on each cruise. This is a good thing for visitors as this translates to a more intimate experience and more space to snap those IG photos without accidental photobombers in your background.
Price: $125/child & $225/adult

At 62ft, this spacious yacht can be rented for casual parties on weekdays, weekends, and overnight, as well as a mini 5-day trip to Tioman Island in Malaysia.
