Local Leisure Charters

1. Are food and drinks included?

Free flow of soft drinks (coke and sprite) and bottled water are included in all our charters. Feel free to bring along your other favourite drinks, including alcohol. We have a 168-can ice cooler box and will prepare ice to chill all your drinks.

However, food is not included in our charter rates, unless otherwise stated. Feel free to bring along your own favourite food! We do have a mini-refrigerator, a stove, an oven and a microwave if you want to prepare food on board or bring a chef along!

Alternatively, you may want to check out our menus available as an add-on option!

2. Are there any corkage FEES for bringing our own food and drinks?

Of course not! We encourage all our guests to bring their own favourite food and drinks, so we do not charge any fees for that.

3. Can I bring my pets on board?

Yes sure, we are now pet-friendly - so your pet dogs and cats are welcome to join us! Do note that pets are allowed as long as the owner agrees to the following conditions: 1) pet is able to swim, 2) pet is not allowed to enter the interior of the boat, and 3) the owner will assume full responsibility over the safety of his/her pet.

4. ARE your yachtS wheelchair accessible?

Unfortunately, we regret that our yachts are not wheelchair accessible.

5. Can I smoke on board?

For safety reasons, smoking is not allowed on board a charter yacht. However, we understand a typical 4-hour yacht charter is a really long time, and if you really need a smoke during the charter, please do so only at the designated area at the stern, and dispose of your cigarette butts responsibly.

6. Can I play my own music on board?

Yes, of course! We have portable Bluetooth speakers. So, go ahead, pair your smartphones or iPads!

7. Can I shower on board?

Yes, we do provide a cabin toilet with shower facilities so you may wash up after splashing in the sea! Our maximum water storage capacity is 600 litres though, so we do seek your cooperation in saving water while on board. Keep your showers short and quick, please!

8. What if it rains?

1.5 hours prior to the charter, the captain will assess the weather and advise the next course of action. In case of light rain, the charter will proceed. The deposit may be forfeited should you decide to postpone the charter. In case of heavy rain or thunderstorm that may deem it unsafe to sail, our skipper may advise to delay or postpone the charter (subject to availability), but do note that no refunds will be provided. Once the yacht has set off from the marina, no changes can be made.

9. I have been to Lazarus Beach a few times before, can I go somewhere else this time?

Sure! Please feel free to let us know where you'd like to venture to, and we'll gladly take you there (as long as time and regulations permit).

10. Do I need to tip the crew?

We do not charge any service charge, so if you feel that our team has exceeded your expectations of excellent service for you and all your guests, a gratuity will always be most appreciated! Our crew work very hard under rain or shine to ensure a safe, smooth and memorable experience for all guests on board, so any token of appreciation will go a long way in affirming our efforts and encouraging us to do even better. Please feel free to pass it to them directly.

Booking / Payment

1. I am not sure how many guests can make it for my yacht party yet, how should I submit the booking?

No worries! Please provide an estimate when submitting your booking first. The number of guests can then be confirmed closer to the charter date.
