The short answer, how much does it cost to charter a yacht in Singapore?

For a standard 4 hour charter on a weekday, you will typically see:
Small to mid catamarans for up to 12 to 18 guests, Rates From about $1,400 to $3,800
Larger party ready catamarans and motor yachts for 20 to 37 guests, Rates From about $1,888 to $6,500
Big catamarans and superyachts for 40 to 55 guests, Rates From about $5,000 to $12,000+

Weekend evenings, public holidays, and peak seasons price higher. Add ons like jetskis, giant slides, BBQ service, or free flow drinks are charged on top.

Charter vs rental, what is the difference?

In Singapore, people use “charter”, “rental”, and “book a yacht” interchangeably. Technically, a charter means you hire a crewed vessel for a fixed time with a planned itinerary. A rental would imply self drive, which is not
how private leisure yachts operate here. When you arrange a yacht charter, you get a licensed skipper, crew, fuel for standard routes, and the onboard amenities that come with that specific yacht.

If you are browsing and want to see options quickly, our hub for yacht charter rental shows a wide range of private yachts with capacities, sample rates, and inclusions.

What actually drives the price?

• Guest count and the 12 person threshold: Many yachts price by capacity bands. Up to 12 guests sits in the most economical band. Crossing 12 can move you to a larger vessel or a higher rate bracket due to licensing, staffing, and safety requirements.
• Yacht type and size: Sleek sailing catamarans, modern party catamarans, and superyachts price differently. Larger decks, premium interiors, and added toys lift the base rate.
• Date and time: Fridays to Sundays, sunset slots, and public holidays carry premiums. Weekdays and morning slots are friendlier on price.
• Duration: Standard is 4 hours. Extending to 5 or 6 hours costs more, but your per hour can improve on a longer block.
• Add ons and catering: Jetski with rider often $550 to $655 for 2 hours. Giant slides range $450 to $980. BBQ service usually $150 to $350. Beverage packages can be $60 to $75 per person for free flow options.
• Marina location and itinerary: Special routes or bespoke stops may affect fuel and timing.

What is included in a Singapore yacht charter?
