Singapore sits at one of the most crucial maritime crossroads in the world, and this since ancient history. While this buzzing modern metropolis attracts millions of visitors each year and is at the cutting edge of many activities and entertainment options, superyacht cruising and charter are still quite undeveloped in the region. The bulk of yachts based in Singapore itself are smaller vessels usually used for day trips and short term cruising in the local islands. Whilst a worthwhile pursuit in itself, most superyacht charters will want one week or more itineraries and to travel further afield. This market is slowly developing, with a number of yachts relocating from other parts of South East Asia (especially Thailand/Myanmar) to be based in or near Singapore between May and October. As well as the obvious ease of travel in and out of such an international hub and the outstanding infrastructure on offer, starting trips in Singapore also offers the possibility of combining a cruise with annual events like the Singapore Food Festival, Singapore International Festival of the Arts or the Great Singapore Sale. Travel in July and August often allows drier conditions whilst slightly less heat than earlier in the season.
