South East Asia is growing rapidly as a major hub for luxury yacht charter, and at the heart of this revolution is Singapore. Renowned for its cultural diversity and world class food scene, it is a veritable melting pot of influences from China, India and Malaysia, plus a liberal sprinkling of Western consumerism and commerce.

Surrounded by a vast scattering of islets, Singapore is an ideal destination for a private yacht charter. Its magnificent cruising grounds combined with two state-of-the-art marinas make it extremely well set up for accommodating all of your yachting needs. With Singapore playing host to several prestigious events such as the Singapore Grand Prix and the annual Singapore Yacht Show, there are also plenty of flagship occasions that serve as excuses to rent a yacht in Singapore.
Our yacht charter search results
As South East Asia has burgeoned as a yachting destination, the number of charter companies in the area has spiralled too. As a result, there’s no shortage of options for those seeking a locally-based company for yacht rental in Singapore. There are also plenty of agencies worldwide providing the same service, however they tend not to manage or own their own yacht fleet. To help you navigate the choices available, we’ve dug into the detail and plucked out three companies we’d recommend for your Singapore oceanic adventure. One more thing to note is that no yachts in Singapore offer bareboat charters, as the shipping channel is too difficult to navigate for novice sailors.
Founded nearly a decade ago, Lloyd Marine come with an impeccable reputation in the charter industry. They have a total of ten yachts available for charter in Singapore, the majority being sailing catamarans, along with a handful of motor yachts as well as a traditional ship-rigged sailing yacht that’s popular for weddings, corporate events and other special occasions. Run by yacht owners, Lloyd Marine manage yachts on behalf of owners, as well as employing all the crew. They pride themselves on a hands-on approach and delivering the highest level of service. Similarly, Lloyd Marine’s crew are not only highly skilled sailors, but also go the extra mile to ensure the safety and enjoyment of guests. Several packages are offered including corporate packages, island hopping getaways, happy hour cruises and romantic cruises. Typical Singapore itineraries include day trips to the Singapore Southern Islands and sunset cruises that take in the island city’s stunning skyline.
For yacht charters in Singapore, renowned global agency Boatbookings have access to a modest total of 7 yachts. Six are motorised catamarans, and the other is a beautiful 47-metre, ship-rigged, traditional sailing yacht. For those happy to push the boat out (pun intended), this classic yacht will cost up to $5,000 per day. On the cheaper end of the scale, a 12-metre cat that accommodates 18 guests will set you back a comparatively cheap $2,000 per week. Other points to note about Boatbookings is that they pledge to personally cast their eye over every yacht they consider listing to ensure it is good enough for them to recommend. There’s also a very useful reviews section on the website where past charter guests offer their comments on how they found the yacht, its crew and the overall experience of chartering through Boatbookings. Another useful service is that the website search function allows you to search for yachts that house particular on-board amenities.
Specialising in customised charters, SG Boat Charter have a fleet of more than 20 yachts, including two 9.7-metre motoryachts, a 16-metre catamaran, a 14-metre power catamaran, and a 12-metre classic clipper yacht that will captivate the sailing connoisseurs among you. Day charters and more extended charters are both possible, as well as experiential trips such as sunrise cruising, sunset cruising, party nights, honeymoons and overnight charter to neighbouring locations such as Tioman and Riau Islands. Yachts are usually available with a team of experienced crew members, ensuring your trip passes off smoothly and allowing you to relax in the knowledge that everything is being taken care of, from maintenance to provisions. The company can also organise various activities including indulgent on-board massages performed by expert therapists as well as a complimentary photography service. All ages are welcome.
