Day 1: Sentosa Cove
EMBARKATION | BEACHES | ISLAND CRUISING
Board your yacht at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove and cruise south away from Singapore’s urban coastline towards Lazarus Island. Spend the afternoon enjoying the island’s sandy shoreline, swimming or relaxing onboard before settling into the slower rhythm of the Southern Islands. Lazarus lies only a short distance south of Sentosa, making it a natural first stop for a Singapore yacht itinerary.
Day 2: St John’s Island
NATURE | WALKING TRAILS | MARINE LIFE
Continue to neighbouring St John’s Island for a day combining cruising with exploration ashore. Guests can follow the island’s 2.8-kilometre self-guided trail through areas of mangrove, coastal vegetation and historical interest, or visit the Marine Park Outreach and Education Centre to learn more about Singapore’s marine biodiversity. Return to the yacht for an afternoon on the water before continuing through the Southern Islands.
Day 3: Kusu Island
ISLAND EXPLORATION | MARINE CONSERVATION | COASTAL CRUISING
Cruise towards Kusu Island before continuing through the waters surrounding Sisters’ Islands Marine Park. The 40-hectare protected area encompasses Sisters’ Islands and the western reefs of St John’s Island and Pulau Tekukor, protecting coral reefs and other marine habitats. Big Sister’s Island can also be visited during permitted opening hours, with shore-based trails and viewpoints available for guests looking to explore beyond the yacht.
Day 4: Sentosa Cove
WATERSPORTS | RELAXED CRUISING | CITY SKYLINE
Spend the final morning revisiting a sheltered section of the Southern Islands for swimming, paddleboarding or time on deck, subject to the yacht’s operating area and local regulations. Cruise north towards Sentosa in the afternoon, with Singapore’s skyline gradually returning to view as the yacht approaches ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove. Conclude the charter back at the marina.
