Yacht Charter Packages
 
 
1. Circumnavigation of "Pulau Ubin"

      A three to four hour passage easily accommodated within a half-day charter. These sheltered waters are always calm. The rich flora and fauna of Pulau Ubin and Southern Johore are easily observable from the yacht.

      This passage could also include swimming at the beach on the north of Ubin or Coney Island, a seafood lunch onshore, a visit to the quiet backwaters of Pulau Ketam or even a river trip.

2. Sembawang Channel Cruise

      A half or full-day passage depending upon itinerary and destination, which may include Pulau Seletar, Sembawang Wharves or the Singapore-Johore Causeway.

      It may be possible to stop for lunch at Ponggol Marina, or picnic and swim at Pulau Seletar, view the Malaysian port of Pasir Gudang or The Singapore Armed Forces Yacht Club.

3. Open Water Sailing

      Head eastwards into the Singapore Strait towards the South China Sea for half or full-day. These waters are less sheltered but never excessively rough. Anchoring along the coastline is possible but seldom enjoyed by sailors wishing to make the most of the sea breeze. A full day of uninterrupted sailing is recommended only for the more experienced seafarer.

4. Tekong Island Circumnavigation

      Pulao Tekong is Singapore's largest offshore island situated just one mile from Johore, Malaysia. This passage will take a full day and is only possible during certain high tides due to the shallow waters. On occasion it is possible to see the rare "dugong" or sea cow basking and feeding near the surface.

5. Evening cruise

      A three hour passage beginning between 7 and 8 pm, heading out towards the Singapore Straits, in view of the lights of Singapore East Coast. Sailing at night is often a magical experience, either accompanied by moonlight or the stars lit up by the darkness of the sea. The number of guests is limited to eight for evening cruises.

6. Weekend Cruises

      Longer passages of two or three days are also available. These involve anchoring at islands or staying overnight at marinas. Anchoring is possible at the Southern Islands of Singapore or the night could be passed at Raffles Marina or Nongsa Marina, Batam. Additional fees for permits will be charged on international cruises.

      A special weekend package is available to Sebana Cove, Johore for the price of two half day charters plus permit fees.

7. Sailing Lesson

      An introduction to basic sailing skills is available at charter rates, taught by an experienced and professional instructor. An extensive sailing instruction booklet is provided. The maximum number of trainees is limited to six.

8. Team-Building

      Executive team-building facilitated by professional sailing instructor and social science research graduate. The sailing yacht is an outstanding environment for developing teamwork, social skills and leadership. Everyone works together in mutual trust, respect and good communication to achieve the common objective of sailing the vessel.
