Renting a yacht in Singapore sounds simple, but trust me, there's a bit more to it than just finding the cheapest deal. I've been doing this long enough to know that selecting the right yacht can make or break your entire event. Let me walk you through what really matters, and help you avoid common mistakes.
Understanding Yacht Sizes & Capacity
Affordable Yachts (5-15 pax)

Ideal for small groups or intimate gatherings. Affordable doesn't always mean the best deal; cheaper yachts might not include essential amenities like ice, drinks, or basic facilities. Double-check what's included to avoid surprises onboard.
Mid-Size Yachts (15-25 pax)

Mid-sized yachts balance comfort, affordability, and quality. They're perfect for medium-sized gatherings, ensuring ample indoor and outdoor spaces to handle unexpected weather conditions.
Large Yachts (20-40 pax)

Larger yachts offer better stability, crucial if you're concerned about motion sickness. More amenities and space make these perfect for larger parties or corporate events where comfort and prestige matter.
Super Yachts (40+ pax)

The ultimate luxury experience—suitable for high-profile events, weddings, or corporate functions. Expect superior service, spacious decks, and top-tier amenities. If impressing your guests is non-negotiable, this is your pick.
Hidden Costs & Add-ons to Consider
Cheap rates often come with hidden costs. Here are some extras you should clarify:
-
Ice & Beverages: Often not included; confirm if complimentary.
-
BBQ Services: Some yachts charge additional fees for grilling services.
-
Water Activities: Jet skis, E-foils, Sea BOBs, and giant slides typically come with extra charges.
At Yacht Maison, transparency is key. We clearly state what's included so you don't get surprise charges onboard.
Additional Considerations
Wet Weather Plans
Always consider weather conditions. A cheaper yacht might have limited indoor space, leaving guests uncomfortable if the weather turns bad. A slightly pricier yacht often includes covered areas or sheltered decks, ensuring comfort no matter the weather.
Catering & Food Quality

Many yachts restrict open flames or heating equipment for safety reasons. If you plan on onboard dining, select a yacht designed for safe cooking or opt for professionally prepared catering that doesn't require onboard heating.
