Charter Formats
Three Charters, Three Purposes
Each format was designed around a specific kind of gathering — the curious visitor, the professional group, and the working team that needs a change of setting. All three depart from HarbourFront Centre.

How We Approach Every Charter
Enquiry & Consultation
We begin by understanding the group — size, purpose, and any specific preferences. This informs which format suits and whether any adjustments are worth discussing.
Planning & Confirmation
For corporate and retreat charters, we schedule planning calls to work through the day's structure. Written confirmation is issued once the booking is secured.
Pre-Departure Preparation
Crew are briefed on the group, catering is prepared, weather is assessed, and the vessel is inspected. Boarding instructions are sent to the client in advance.
Post-Charter Review
A brief feedback form is shared after each charter. Responses are reviewed by the operations team and used to improve future departures in a systematic way.
Charter Format 01
Heritage Waterway Tour
A two-hour narrated cruise along the Singapore River and through the inner harbour, tracing the historical trade routes that shaped the island's maritime identity. The onboard guide shares stories of tongkang barges, early harbour commerce, and the evolution of the waterfront skyline. Guests receive a printed heritage map as a keepsake. The yacht accommodates twelve guests in an open-air salon with overhead shade. A selection of local teas and traditional kueh is served during the voyage.
