Boat Charter: Your private, self-drive boat for the duration of your holiday.
Pre-paid Fuel: No need to worry about fuel costs during your trip; it’s all taken care of in advance.
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW): This waiver reduces your financial liability in the unfortunate event of accidental damage to the boat.
Boat Cleaning: At the end of your trip, the cleaning of your vessel is included, allowing you to disembark without any last-minute chores.

The All On Board Bundle

For the ultimate in convenience, the All On Board bundle includes everything from the Care Free package plus a host of additional extras. This comprehensive option is perfect for travellers who want nearly every detail handled, ensuring a truly relaxing and all-encompassing holiday experience.

The All On Board bundle includes:

Everything in the Care Free Bundle: Boat charter, pre-paid fuel, CDW, and boat cleaning.

Singapore through the seasons: why there’s always something to celebrate

13 August 2026

Singapore may be compact, but its calendar is packed with celebrations that can transform an already memorable city break into something even more special. Throughout the year, its neighbourhoods are illuminated by festival lights, the Marina Bay skyline becomes the backdrop for fireworks and motor racing, and streets fill with parades, markets, music, and food. Many events reflect Singapore’s multicultural identity, giving visitors the chance to experience Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international traditions within the same city. You don’t necessarily need to plan your entire holiday around one event, either. Time your visit well, and Singapore’s annual celebrations can add colour, flavour, and a real sense of occasion to the attractions, restaurants, and neighbourhoods already on your itinerary.
