6 Best Overnight Yacht Charters in Singapore (2026)

Sleeping aboard changes what matters. Here is what I actually check.

• Staycation or expedition. A one-night staycation anchors off the Southern Islands and is priced per boat, roughly from mid-afternoon to mid-morning. A multi-day sailing holiday or expedition heads to regional islands over two to seven days, priced per day or per person with meals and crew. Decide which trip you want first.
• Cabins and privacy. This is the big one for sleeping aboard. Check the number of cabins, whether they are ensuite or share a head, and how many the boat comfortably sleeps. A sailing catamaran typically has three cabins for around six guests, while a superyacht has six or more.
• Crewed and catered. Overnight trips are almost always crewed, with a skipper and often a cook, and meals included. Confirm what is provided versus what you bring, and the corkage policy.
• Itinerary and clearance. A regional trip crosses into Malaysian or Indonesian waters, so immigration and customs clearance is part of the itinerary. A reputable operator handles this, but confirm passports and clearance are covered.
• Weather window. The northeast monsoon from around November to March brings rougher seas, so timing matters more for a multi-day passage than a day trip. Ask about the reschedule policy.

One thing to know: local overnight anchoring is restricted. The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore prohibits anchoring in channels and fairways, and there are rules even at popular anchorages, such as no swimming after 7pm. So a Singapore overnight means sleeping at anchor off an island under an operator who knows the rules, not roaming freely.

Cost depends on whether it is a single night or a multi-day trip, and the vessel. These are the going rates I see in 2026.

Only a couple of operators publish firm overnight pricing, so treat these as indicative and get a written quote. Add GST where it applies, and for a regional trip factor a food package and any peak-season surcharge.

Ximula is my pick for an authentic multi-day sailing holiday, because it is genuinely wind-powered rather than a motor yacht. Their sailing catamaran has three cabins sleeping up to six, with a watermaker, a tender and water toys, and they run proper two and three-day sailing holidays to the Southern Islands and across to Anambas and Tioman.

All meals are prepared aboard by the crew, and pricing is published from around S$2,700 a day on a weekday, so a two-day trip is roughly S$5,400 and up. For a small group who want to actually sail rather than motor between anchorages, it is the standout.

The Yacht Club is my pick for the widest choice of overnight boats, because it runs dedicated overnight packages across a large fleet. That spans a spread of motor yachts for a single-night staycation, most running roughly from mid-afternoon to mid-morning with dinner and breakfast included, up to their flagship superyacht Megaway, which has six cabins and takes up to fifty guests.

They also list two and three-day sailing-holiday packages, and overnight rates start from around S$2,388 for the smaller boats, quoted per boat with meals included. For couples deciding between a budget night at anchor and a superyacht, the range is the advantage.

Wanderlust is my pick for a proper expedition. Alongside Southern Islands trips they run the longest-range overnight adventures here, including a seven-day, six-night expedition to the Anambas Islands in Indonesia on a motor yacht with three double cabins, built around fishing, diving and snorkelling over untouched reefs.

The trip departs from Sentosa Cove and crosses into Indonesian waters, with fishing gear and an instructor, a BBQ chef and remote anchorages that day-trippers never see. The Anambas expedition is from around S$9,859 a person for a minimum group. For an adventurous crew who want the sea to themselves, they are the pick.

Valencia is my pick for the most comfortable night aboard, because their flagship is the largest yacht built in Singapore. Star of the Sea is a 128-foot superyacht with ten bedrooms across four levels, six of them for guests, plus a private-chef galley and an outdoor jacuzzi, so an overnight is closer to a floating boutique hotel than a camping trip.

They market half-day, full-day, overnight and weekly rentals, with the overnight quoted on request rather than published. For a group that wants space, cabins and genuine comfort at anchor rather than a snug catamaran, it is the luxury choice.

Simpson Marine is my pick at the top of the market for a crewed superyacht liveaboard. As Asia's leading yacht brokerage since 1984, they arrange crewed superyacht and liveaboard charters by the day, weekend or week, with a fleet that reaches a 170-foot vessel sleeping up to twenty-two guests across eleven cabins.

The broker model means access to motor yachts, sailing yachts and catamarans, crewed or bareboat, for regional cruising well beyond what a single local operator offers. Charters are on quote at the superyacht tier. For a genuine high-end expedition with hotel-grade cabins, they are the serious option.

White Sails rounds out the list as the value pick for a relaxed overnight staycation. Their flagship, SunRise, is a 40-foot sailing catamaran with three interior cabins, and they run day or overnight charters with a no-corkage BYO policy, so you bring your own food and drinks and keep the cost down.

Overnight pricing is quoted on request rather than fixed, and with eleven years and thousands of trips behind them the operation is well established. For a couple or a small group who want a simple, affordable night at anchor off the Southern Islands, they are the easy choice.

Best known for: A value BYO catamaran overnight staycation

I looked at whether each operator does single-night staycations or multi-day expeditions, the number and privacy of cabins, whether the boat is crewed and catered, the itineraries and clearance for regional trips, published or indicative pricing, and the weight of genuine reviews. I spread the list from a value BYO catamaran night to a superyacht liveaboard so there is a fit for a couple, a small group and an adventurous crew alike.

Prices and details are checked when I publish and revisited as things change. Always confirm the cabins, what is included, and for a regional trip the clearance and weather policy directly with the operator before you book.

Yes, but within limits. Local overnight anchoring is restricted, so a Singapore overnight means sleeping at anchor off one of the Southern Islands, such as St John's, Lazarus or Sisters', under an operator who works within the rules, rather than roaming or anchoring anywhere you like. The Maritime and Port Authority prohibits anchoring in channels and fairways, and there are rules such as no swimming after 7pm. For a longer trip, operators run multi-day sailing holidays and expeditions to Malaysian and Indonesian islands instead, which is where the real free-roaming liveaboard experience happens.

It depends on the vessel. A sailing catamaran like Ximula's or White Sails' SunRise typically has three cabins sleeping around six guests, which suits a couple or a small group. A superyacht is far larger: Valencia's Star of the Sea has six guest cabins, and Simpson Marine's largest liveaboard sleeps up to twenty-two across eleven cabins. Check not just the number of cabins but whether they are ensuite or share a head, since privacy matters a lot when you are sleeping aboard for one or more nights. Give the operator your group size and they will match the boat.

Yes, for any trip that leaves Singapore waters. Multi-day expeditions to islands like Anambas, Lingga or Tioman cross into Indonesian or Malaysian waters, so immigration and customs clearance is required both on departure and on arrival. Reputable operators handle this as part of the itinerary, but you should confirm that passport clearance is included and bring your travel documents. A single-night staycation that stays within Singapore's Southern Islands does not require clearance, which is one reason it is the simpler option for a first overnight.

The drier, calmer months from around February to April and the mid-year window are the most comfortable for sleeping aboard and for a multi-day passage. The northeast monsoon from roughly November to March brings rougher seas and more rain, which matters far more overnight and on an open crossing than on a sheltered day trip. Book a regional expedition around the calmer weather window, confirm the operator's reschedule policy, and for a single-night staycation off the Southern Islands, simply avoid a forecast with storms and you will have a settled night at anchor.
