Yachts leave from ONE°15 Marina at Sentosa Cove or from Marina at Keppel Bay and reach the Southern Islands in 20 to 35 minutes. Lazarus Island has a crescent bay of clear water and white sand where the yacht anchors for about two hours of swimming; St John's, joined to it by a causeway, has a jetty, shelters and walking trails that suit families and older guests.

A typical charter lasts about four hours. We like to set out in the afternoon and return at sunset, when the towers of the city light up on the horizon. Halal catering on board is arranged to your taste.
