Agent Contact

Welcome to Singapore

The Singapore office has more than 20 years experience on the ground working with super and mega yachts. We have handled some of the world’s largest and most prestigious yachts that have called into Singapore.

Singapore is rapidly becoming a place you must see in Asia with various attractions, including two new integrated resorts and the world’s only F1 night race along the streets of downtown Singapore.

Singapore is located centrally in South East Asia being only 1 degree north of the equator we do not get severe weather making it a convenient and safe place to act as a “base” for year-round regional cruises with owners and guests.

Singapore has Superyacht berths in several marinas island wide and a wharf that can be used for berthing very large yachts alongside that is located on the south central coast.

We utilise two shipyards specifically for yacht repairs, one is having a 450-ton “travel Lift” with a clean hard standing and the other has two “graving docks”, one is 100 meters and the other is 120 meters. Repairs afloat is a very popular here as well due to the concentration of shipbuilding and engineering firms in Singapore it’s relatively easy to get the services required.

Our team over the years has been involved in virtually every aspect of the servicing a yacht from inbound/outbound clearance procedures to provisioning, engineering repairs and surveys. We provide bunkers and lube oils including jet fuel, fine gourmet foods and the freshest produce. We strive to be your go-to guys for all of your requirements while both in Singapore and further afield. We regularly send supplies to yachts cruising in the region.

Some of the attractions of Singapore are:

  • Raffles Hotel – a Singaporean institution which has become a byword for oriental luxury.
  • Arab Street – the Muslim centre of Singapore and a traditional textile district.
  • Chinatown – Singapore’s cultural heart where calligraphers and fortune tellers are still a part of everyday life.
  • Duty-Free shopping
  • Little India – full of interesting little shops selling obscure items. The Zhujiao Centre is the main market.
  • Orchard Road – where high-class hotels, shopping centres, nightspots, restaurants, and bars dominate.
  • Jurong Town – west of the city centre, Jurong Town is home to the Haw Par Villa (a Chinese mythological theme park), the beautifully landscaped Jurong Bird Park, Chinese & Japanese Gardens and the Singapore Science Centre.
  • Sentosa Island – the city-state’s most visited attraction including museums, aquariums, beaches (with imported sand), sporting facilities, walks, rides, food centres and a marina.
  • Clear blue water

Weather

Singapore is an equatorial country with relatively uniform temperature, abundant rainfall and high humidity. The average daily temperature is 27° C. December and January are generally the coolest months. Singapore lies in the path of two monsoons that cause rainfall all year round. Most rainfall occurs during the northeast monsoon from November to March. During the south-west monsoon season from June to September, much of the rain falls in short, intense showers that alternate with the sunshine.

Charts

Up to date, charts are essential as the government has an intensive land reclamation program and the island is growing annually.

Tides Moderate – 3 m range on springs

Cruising Guide

The Cruising Guide to Southeast Asia Volume One by Stephen Davies & Elaine Morgan covers the South China Sea including the Singapore, Gulf of Thailand, East Malaysia (northern Borneo), Hong Kong and Macau, the Philippines, and Brunei. The text provides sailing directions supported by detailed charts and harbour plans and anchorages. It also provides important background information on the countries, culture, politics, navigation, and equipment. The Cruising Guide to Southeast Asia can be found in bookshops or can be purchased on-line from companies such as Armchair Sailor Seabooks and Bluewater Charts & Books.

Courtesy Flag

A Singapore courtesy flag should be displayed whenever entering Singapore waters.

The Singapore Flag is halved horizontally – the red half is symbolic of universal brotherhood and equality of man and the white half signifies pervading and everlasting purity and virtue. The crescent represents a young country on the ascent in its ideals of establishing democracy, peace, prosperity, justice and equality as indicated by the five stars.

Security

With the high standard of living, continued prosperity and increased civic consciousness, Singapore is a relatively crime-free society by international standards. Singapore’s safe-haven image was further boosted in February 2001 with police reporting a 15 percent drop in reported crime in 2000.

Arrival

From the east (The Philippines) or the south (Indonesia).

Regulations

Originals of the ships papers are required.

Marina Facilities

Singapore has all the facilities a Superyacht could possibly require, including at least two marinas: Raffles Marina and the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club. For Superyachts requiring repair or a re-fit Singapore’s Penguin Boat International Ltd has haul-out facilities for Superyachts and is a convenient place to stop off on the way to or from Phuket. There are many marine suppliers on the island, and therefore sourcing of parts and marine items is always very convenient.

Testimonial

M/Y Diamonds Are Forever

“I would like to thank Scott Walker and the rest of his dedicated team at Asia Pacific Superyachts Singapore for making our stay of over 2 months at Keppel Bay Marina a truly hassle free and enjoyable time! For any yachts new to the area looking for an agent you need look no further than Scott and his team.”

Captain Mark Rushton

S.Y. Twizzle

“Thanks again for all your assistance and hospitality during our stay. You and your team did a great job for us and I would be happy to recommend your services to my fellow Captains any time.”

Captain Gordon Percy

M.Y Archimedes

In Singapore, we used Scott Walker at Asia Pacific Superyachts and he was a tremendous help in absolutely all regards. He arranged clearances, pilots, shipping, fuel, transportation, supplies, and repair services of a wide and varied nature. Everything was done in a thoroughly professional manner and in timely fashion. Scott can get you anything and everything in Singapore. It’s a very good base for cruising SE Asia.

Captain Chris Walsh

M.Y. Helix

“It is with great pleasure I recommend Scott Walker of Asia Pacific Superyachts for all your yachting requirements whilst visiting Singapore. I would like to thank Scott for personally taking care of our immigration, customs, cruising permits, dockage, bunkering and all our provisioning needs whilst based out of Singapore. We found Scott and his lovely wife Joan to be extremely competent and an absolute pleasure to work with and without his extensive expertise and local knowledge we would have been very lost indeed.”

Captain Philip Burgess

S. Y. EOS

“I can honestly say that in two busy stops in Singapore, for varying duration and reason (pre owner, pre charter, crew R&R, maintenance/repair downtime) I have experienced the consistency in the types and levels of service that we require from a yacht agent. These have been provided with the honesty and integrity that I and our owner expect when someone is dealing temporarily with personal and fiscal matters relating to us and the owner. I have the utmost confidence in the abilities and integrity of Scott and his team and as such, have no hesitation in recommending them to friends and colleagues in the industry.”

Captain Jerry Reid

M.Y. Senses

“I would like to thank you and your good wife Joan and Staff for professional manner and conduct during Senses visit to Singapore. The help to Crew and our Helicopter Pilot was amongst the best service provided on our around the world trip. It is no small task to be agent for Senses, to assist us for the time alongside and the Dry-docking and give assistance to difficult requests at times. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to any visiting yachts that expected first class professional complete services.”

Captain Geordie Nicholson

M.Y. Anna

“On behalf of my owner and crew may I thank you and your team for the professional and friendly way you organized and ran our two visits to Raffles Marina. In particular I am extremely grateful for the way you coordinated the tricky formalities with the local authorities, gathered the stores requeirements and took away the ‘hassle’ normally associated with these visits. Without doubt the personal interest taken by Joan, yourself and your staff is second to none – Thank you.”

Captain Paul Cook

M.Y. Apoise

“Mr. Walker committed himself to ensure we finished our projects on time. He oversaw the delivery and fabrication of the C-band dome and base. No request was too small or large and his knowledge of the local trades persons and vendors was an invaluable asset. I was pleased we were treated with such hospitality and honesty in all aspects during our short but hectic time in the care of Mr. Walker.”

Captain Delos Gurney
