Yacht Adventure to Singapore’s Lazarus Island

We chartered a yacht from Sea Friends for a 4-hour sunset excursion to Lazarus Island. The experience was absolutely amazing, a perfect 10 out of 10.

Being our maiden voyage on a yacht, we did not set high expectations, especially considering it was just in Singapore, where water activities are not typically top-tier. However, as soon as we boarded the yacht and arrived at Lazarus Island, our perception changed. The outing turned out to be incredibly enjoyable, and the water was surprisingly swimmable. This trip was to celebrate my Dad’s 50th birthday and what a way to celebrate a birthday.

We departed from Sentosa Cove at around 4pm for our sunset cruise to Lazarus Island. Just before we left the dock, it was raining really hard and clouds were dark. As we headed towards our destination, the weather got better. Perhaps, it was even the perfect weather.


The captain of our yacht gave us the choice to anchor further off the island or dock by the boardwalk. We opted for the latter as we thought the boat would rock less and we will have more space. It would also be easier to move around with Hopesie with us. Our yacht was for 10 guests and there was not alot of space onboard. It was nice to have the boardwalk to set up table and picnic mat.


Once docked, we played music, floated in the sea, rode the kayak and paddle board, and ofcourse jump into the water and swam. We also had smoked salmon, marinated chicken, steak and sausages barbequed by our captain. There were so many things to do that 4 hours was insufficient.


As we watched the beautiful sunset, we were very thankful that we got to experience this with some of our family members from the Philippines and Canada, whom we have not seen for years physically since Covid-19 struck.

We sailed back to mainland Singapore, knowing that we will definitely go for another yacht adventure again, even if it is to Lazarus Island again.

For this experience, we availed See Friend’s “Sunset Cruise and BBQ” package for 10 pax at $799. You can click here to find out more about their packages.
