What time does the sunset cruise start?

Late afternoon, usually 3pm to 7pm, so you get swimming time and the sunset on the way back. We confirm the exact slot when you book.

Can we swim during the cruise?

Yes. We anchor at Lazarus or a Southern Island for a swim, kayak and paddleboard before heading back.

Can we bring food and drinks?

Yes, BYO with no corkage. Bring a cake and drinks, or add a BBQ cooked onboard.

How many people can come?

Up to 12 on the Riviera. Larger groups go on a bigger yacht or a second boat.

Even without a postcard sunset the evening light and calmer water make it worthwhile. If weather is unsafe you reschedule free.

Fireworks on the way back

Sentosa's Wings of Time show runs at 7:40pm and 8:40pm. On some routes you catch it from the water. Weather and route permitting.

Skyline from the sea

Yachts can't sail into Marina Bay because of the Barrage, so the skyline tour shows you the city from the sea side, lit up after dark.

FAQ

Sunset cruise questions

What time should an island hopping and sunset cruise start?

About two hours before sunset. For most of the year that means boarding around 4:30 to 5pm, with time for a swim at the islands first.

Which islands do we visit?

Lazarus and the Southern Islands, with a stop at Seringat Pier for a swim, kayak or paddleboard, weather permitting.

What is the best month for a sunset cruise?

February and early March are the driest months, with the latest sunsets. April, May, October and November carry more evening storm risk.

Can we see the Marina Bay skyline?

Yes, from the sea side. The skyline tour is included on the Princess 47, Majesty 50, Lagoon 400, Fountaine Pajot 47, Aquila 48 and Explorer 82.

How is a private charter different from a shared sunset cruise?

Shared tall-ship sunset cruises cost about S$245 to S$288 per adult. Our Riviera 34 is S$488 on a weekday for the whole boat and up to 10 guests, around S$49 a head, with your own food and music.
