What to Expect on an Overnight Yacht Cruise in Singapore
Ever wondered what it’s like to spend a night on a yacht, gently swaying to the rhythm of the ocean as the stars twinkle above?
With an overnight yacht cruise in Singapore, you can access this unique experience and create memories that linger long after you step back on shore.
But for first-timers, the idea of spending a night at sea might seem a bit daunting. It’s natural to wonder what an overnight yacht cruise entails.
For example, the standard yacht charter in Singapore is four hours. And if you want to make your yacht party even more enjoyable, consider a yacht staycation. In addition to day and overnight trips, Wanderlust Adventures also offers 3D2N vacations and overseas yacht staycations in scenic spots, including Lingga and Anambas.
But what exactly awaits you in Wanderlust Adventure’s overnight yacht cruise?
Setting Sail: Boarding and Daytime Activities
Your adventure begins at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, where you’ll check in and meet the friendly crew, who will serve as your hosts for the next 24 hours. Stepping onto the yacht charter, you’ll feel a sense of excitement and anticipation as you leave the busy city behind and begin your nautical escape.
As you set sail, the cityscape will be replaced by breathtaking views of the open sea. With Wanderlust Adventures, your daytime activities will depend on the package you choose.
For day trips, you’ll head to Eagles Bay and enjoy water activities like kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. With the help of experienced guides, you can fish at Southern Island and have a BBQ with your fresh catch at Lazarus Island.
On the other hand, if you want a more laid-back experience, you can lounge on the “magic carpet” and soak up the sun and enjoy the sea breeze. And if karaoke is your kind of fun, you can also do that with your friends and family for added entertainment onboard.
If you opt for the 3D2N package, you can visit Pulau Ubin, enjoy a BBQ dinner at Lazarus Island, kayak at Ketam Channel, and fish at Raffles Lighthouse, known for its hidden yet excellent fishing spots.
Sunset Spectacles and Evening Entertainment
As the day winds down, prepare for a truly unforgettable experience: watching the sun dip below the horizon, painting the sky in a wonderful display of colours. You’ll get a moment of pure serenity with the chance to pause and appreciate the beauty of the natural world.
The fun doesn’t end when the sun goes down because evenings on an overnight yacht charter are filled with possibilities. You’ll find yourself enjoying a delicious BBQ dinner on the shores of Lazarus Island, with the inviting aroma of grilled seafood filling the air.
Here, you can also gather with your friends and loved ones for a lively karaoke session, belting out your favourite tunes under the starlit sky. But if you want a more relaxed atmosphere, you can unwind on the deck while sharing stories and laughter.
Luxury Accommodations for a Good Night’s Sleep
Forget cramped quarters and uncomfortable bunk beds. Our modern yachts are designed with comfort in mind, offering surprisingly spacious and well-appointed accommodations for a restful night’s sleep.
Once you step into your private cabin, you’ll find a cosy haven featuring plush bedding, soft lighting and calming décor. Additionally, you’ll have bathrooms that are fully equipped with showers, toilets and all the essential amenities you’d expect in a hotel room.
But the luxury doesn’t stop there. Your yacht charter includes a private balcony with stunning ocean views, allowing you to unwind with a drink while enjoying your peaceful surroundings.
Sunrise Serenity and a Delicious Breakfast
As dawn breaks, the view from the yacht’s deck will be breathtaking. Here, you’ll witness the sunrise paint the sky with vibrant hues, signalling a beautiful and serene start to the day.
And what better way to complement the stunning scenery than with a delicious breakfast? Dining on a yacht while enjoying the sunrise and the calming sea view is a truly special experience.
With your appetite satiated, you can take a dip in the ocean, explore nearby coves with a kayak or simply relax on deck. By noon, the yacht charter will make its way back to the marina. And if you’re looking to extend the experience or you want to surprise someone during a special occasion, consider Wanderlust Adventures’ Sunset Dinner Cruise package for a magical evening on the water.
Essential Tips for a Smooth Sailing Experience
Going on an overnight yacht cruise for the first time can be exciting, but it’s always helpful to be prepared. Consider the following tips:
Packing Essentials
- Comfortable Clothing: Pack for both warm days and cooler evenings on your yacht charter. We also recommend bringing light layers, swimwear and a thin jacket.
- Sunscreen and Hat: Protect yourself from the sun’s rays by bringing a hat and wearing sunscreen.
- Entertainment: While we provide onboard entertainment, you can also bring your preferred books and games. You can also download movies to enjoy during downtime.
- Toiletries: Pack travel-sized toiletries and any personal care items you may need.
Managing Seasickness
- Medication: Over-the-counter motion sickness medication can be effective, so consult a doctor or pharmacist before your overnight trip to get recommendations.
- Acupressure Bands: Consider wearing these wristbands to relieve nausea.
- Ginger: If you’re prone to having an upset stomach, bring ginger candies or tea to help reduce the discomfort.
- Fresh Air: Spend time on deck in the fresh air, and don’t stay in enclosed spaces for long periods unless you’re going to sleep.
- Focus on the Horizon: You can also reduce feelings of dizziness by keeping your eyes fixed on a stable point in the distance.
- Inform the Crew: If you’re still experiencing seasickness after taking personal measures, inform the yacht crew. They can provide medication or assist you in finding a comfortable spot on deck.
Respecting Yacht Etiquette
- Footwear: Wear a pair of boat or non-marking shoes to avoid damaging the deck during your yacht cruise.
- Cleanliness: Keep your belongings organised and dispose of trash properly.
- Conservation: Be mindful of water and energy usage.
Addressing Common Concerns

- Onboard Facilities: Our overnight yachts have fully equipped kitchens, bathrooms and entertainment systems.
- Crew Roles: The captain is responsible for navigation and safety. Meanwhile, the crew handles onboard services, such as meals, cleaning and assisting with cruise activities.
