Destinations - Visit Magical islands – Charter Yacht from Singapore

On a Day Sail we usually stop at our favorite beach for activities where the water is clearer and greener than anywhere else in Singapore and the sand of the beach is pure. Here we would not know we are in Singapore, except for the distant tops of Downtown just visible over the trees. On a weekday we always have this hideaway to ourselves, for it is only yachts like us who can get there. See One Day Cruise and Our Favorite Beaches.

Regrettably Singapore is not well placed for a two-day weekend trip…there are no beautiful tropic isles within feasible distances, but there are several fabulous destinations if one can take a little longer:

Mapur Island: The closest paradise to Singapore - sail 7 hours across the azure sea after Indonesian formalities at Nongsa Point. Mapur Island

Pulau Aur - 3 day trip: this can be done in two and a half days with a bit of a rush. This is truly a beautiful place with lots to do. Pulau Aur

The Leeward Isles 5 - 7 day trip: This magical little archipelago, completely uninhabited, is truly the captain’s favourite island group in all the tropic seas…and he has seen hundreds! Leeward Isles

Weather: Pulau Aur and the Leeward Isles lie in the S. China Sea, pleasantly accessible during the South Monsoon months April to October. During the NE Monsoon, Dec to March, this area becomes unpleasant and we migrate to Langkawi and Phuket, in The Andaman Sea. Here the weather is perfect for three months, brisk, offshore breezes in fairly calm water. We have some wonderful adventures in this beautiful area, including exploring a cave 500m long, with caverns with spectacular limestone formations, and all by kayak!...with head-lamps and life-jackets.
