Yacht tours are cheaper and offer more than yacht rentals
SingapoRediscovers Vouchers yacht tours or yacht rentals? We created this infographic to cut through the fog – or die trying – to highlight the key differences between them.
Yacht tours are very similar to a typical yacht rental but tweaked to enhance the yachting experience with stories to deepen our understanding of Singapore.
It is designed as part of the #SingapoRediscovers campaign to support local tourism which has been severely impacted by the ongoing pandemic 😷

Eligibility to Redeem SingapoRediscovers Vouchers:
Only tours conducted by Yachtly is eligible for SingapoRediscovers Vouchers redemption of up to $100 per guest. Private yacht rentals and yacht charters are not eligible as they do not fulfil the criteria set by the Singapore Tourism Board.
Departure and Arrival Schedules:
Yacht tours depart and return based on a fixed schedule, which cannot be customised. Typically, a 5-hours yacht tour starts from 10 am to 3 pm or 4 pm to 9 pm. A 4-hours yacht tour would start from 9 am to 1 pm, from 1.30 pm to 5. 30 pm, or from 6 pm to 10 pm. We also have a 2-hours yacht tour that starts from 4 pm to 6 pm and from 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm.
If schedule flexibility is what you are looking for, then private yacht rentals are the way to go.
Number of People On Board:
Yacht tours can host up to 35 guests onboard, while yacht rentals and yacht charters can only host up to 8 guests.
That said, tours have a minimum to go of 8 – which means if you are 2 people, you can redeem up to $200 but need to either wait for 6 guests to join you, or you need to snap up the remaining slots – which will still be cheaper than private chartering a yacht. Secret tip – contact us if you have 8 guests confirmed but like to reduce the likelihood of someone joining. We will try to facilitate.
Yacht Tours Itinerary:
Yacht tours have a pre-planned itinerary to bring the best of Singapore’s coastal stories to you. The route is also supported by audio commentary to bring an immersive experience! We will get to visit landmarks such as Tanjong Pagar Terminal, Marina Bay Sands, Lazarus Island, Sisters’ etc. Notably, water activities are also included for 5-hours and 4-hours yacht tour. Yacht rentals would typically allow flexibility and spend more time at Lazarus Island.
So, what now?
If fixed schedules and itineraries are not for you, (weddings and proposals), then hire a private yacht from us here. You are in good hands with Singapore’s best-reviewed yacht rental company.
But if you have been considering to go on a yacht trip, but find private yacht charters out of reach, then redeem $100 per guests on a yacht tour is a no brainer. Look at the different yacht tours here and book now sail later!
