Frequently Asked Questions About
Yacht Charters in Singapore

We provide a wide range of yacht charter services in Singapore, including private yacht charters for family gatherings, corporate retreats, team bonding, prewedding shoots, proposals, and celebrations like hen's parties and birthday parties.

Our luxury yachts — SunRise, SunRider, and SunLight — are fully equipped to offer a comfortable and memorable experience for any occasion.

Yes, all of our yacht charters come with a professional and friendly captain and crew. We don't offer bareboat charters.

Food and drinks are not included in the charter price, but you can order them from us at an additional cost. We specialise in BBQ catering and have received great food reviews. We also offer refreshing drinks and set food packages — just let us know in advance.

A catamaran offers greater stability, significantly more space, and a higher level of onboard comfort. Its twin-hull design reduces rolling and eliminates heeling, creating a smoother, more enjoyable experience whether cruising or at anchor.

The wider layout allows for larger living areas and better privacy. Overall, a catamaran is ideal for those prioritising comfort, ease, and a relaxed cruising experience.

White Sails has a no-corkage policy, so guests are welcome to bring their own cooked food, beverages, and alcohol onboard. All yachts are equipped with fridges and ice boxes for your convenience.

Participants should arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time.

Participants are to dress in casual and comfortable attire.

Participants are required to remove and place their footwear in the designated box onboard.

• ✕ Footwear is not permitted onboard.
• ✕ Cooking onboard is not allowed, except for the BBQ pit.
• ✕ Red wine and glassware are strictly prohibited.
• ✕ Water activities are not allowed after 7:15 PM.
• ✕ Smoking is only permitted at the rear while the yacht is stationary.
• ✕ Excessive intoxication will not be tolerated.
• ✕ Balloons, confetti, and similar decorations are not permitted (marine conservation).
• ✕ Unsafe or reckless behaviour that endangers others or damages the yacht is prohibited.

To help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, please keep the following in mind:

• Follow the captain's instructions at all times — they are trained to keep everyone safe throughout the journey.
• Remain seated while the vessel is moving, especially when travelling at high speed or in rough sea conditions.
• Avoid unsafe seating positions — please don't sit with your legs folded on the seat, stand on seats or railings, or lean over the sides of the vessel.
• Move around slowly and carefully, using handholds where available, to help prevent slips and falls.

Yes. A mandatory safety briefing will be conducted before departure to ensure everyone is familiar with the vessel's safety procedures and onboard safety features. We ask that all guests pay close attention before the journey begins.

Yes. For their safety, all guests under the age of 18 must be accompanied and supervised by a responsible adult at all times during the activity.

Absolutely! Our yachts provide stunning backdrops for a pre-wedding shoot or proposal, offering scenic views of Singapore's coastline and skyline. Our team will work with you to ensure the perfect setting and capture beautiful memories on your special day.

• SunRise — up to 18 guests
• SunLight — up to 18 guests
• SunRider — up to 16 guests

Headcount is regardless of age, as per local law.

Absolutely! Our yachts are kid-friendly, making them perfect for family gatherings. They offer a safe and comfortable environment with plenty of space for everyone.

We are pet-friendly! A few things to note:

• Limited to 2 pets per charter
• Additional charge of $80 per pet
• Only small dogs and cats are allowed onboard

The above charges typically cover:

1. Deep cleaning & sanitation — Pets (especially dogs) can leave behind fur, dander, and more. Boats have soft furnishings, carpets, and tight spaces, so cleaning is more intensive than a normal turnover.
2. Allergy control — Even after a standard clean, allergens can linger. The extra fee helps cover deeper sanitisation to reduce issues for the next guests who may have allergies.
3. Wear and tear — Scratches on teak decks, upholstery damage, or chewing incidents can happen. The fee partially offsets the higher maintenance risk.

Most other charter companies offer only gas or electric BBQ. We offer charcoal BBQ — the gold standard for flavour.

• Deep, smoky, authentic BBQ taste
• Better crust (sear) on meat
• Rich aroma from burning coals

Fat drips onto hot coals and turns into flavorful smoke that goes back into the food. Charcoal produces complex flavour compounds through smoke and fire chemistry — and the higher heat means better browning.

• Swimwear & extra clothes
• Sunglasses, hat & sunscreen
• Phone & waterproof pouch
• Towel & toiletries
• Portable charger
• Medications / seasick pills
• Snacks & drinks
• Camera / GoPro for memories
