Top 10 Marinas in Singapore

Singapore's position at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula has made it a mandatory waypoint for blue-water sailors for centuries. Today the city-state operates some of the most efficiently run marinas in Asia, where check-in formalities rarely exceed a couple of hours, fuel docks operate around the clock, and chandleries carry parts that would take weeks to source in most ports further east. The approaches through the Singapore Strait demand careful pilotage — this is one of the busiest shipping lanes on the planet, with more than 1,000 vessels transiting daily — but once you are tied up, the city's infrastructure makes every repair, provisioning run, and crew change straightforward.

One 15 Marina Club, Sentosa Island

One 15 Marina Club is the flagship yachting facility in Singapore. Its 319 berths on Sentosa Island accommodate vessels up to 55 metres, and the facilities include a fuel dock, a chandlery stocked with antifouling, engine spares, rigging hardware, and freeze-dried provisions. A 65-tonne travel-lift and a full-service boatyard handle haulouts. Sentosa's cable car connects directly to VivoCity mall and Singapore's MRT network, making crew changes and city excursions effortless. The marina participates in the ARC Asia rally and the annual Sail Indonesia flotilla briefings.

Republic of Singapore Yacht Club (RSYC)

Established in 1826, the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club on Kranji reservoir, and its main clubhouse at Tanjong Kling (sometimes called the West Coast), is one of the oldest yacht clubs in the region. The main premises on the West Coast Road hold around 200 wet berths with shore power and water. The club runs an active racing calendar, hosting the biennial Monsoon Cup Series and the Singapore Offshore Yacht Race (SOYR), which sets out over the South China Sea. Reciprocal club arrangements with more than 100 yacht clubs worldwide make it a natural berth for visiting offshore sailors.

SAF Yacht Club

The Singapore Armed Forces Yacht Club, located at Changi on the eastern tip of Singapore, is open to Singapore Armed Forces personnel and their guests. It sits close to Changi Airport and to the East Johor Strait, making it ideal for boats arriving from or departing to Malaysian waters. The club operates about 120 berths in a sheltered basin, a slipway, and a small chandlery. The surrounding waters of the Johor Strait are relatively calm and are popular for keelboat racing and day sailing.

Marina Country Club, Pasir Ris

Marina Country Club at Pasir Ris, on Singapore's northeastern coast facing the Strait of Johor, offers 120 berths primarily aimed at club members and their boats. The club is better known as a lifestyle resort — it includes a wave pool, chalet rentals, and waterside dining — but its marina provides a genuine nautical base close to East Coast Park and the ferry terminal for Pulau Ubin. Depths are around 3 metres at chart datum; suitable for cruising boats up to about 45 feet in length.

Raffles Marina

Raffles Marina, at the western end of Singapore near the Second Link causeway to Johor, is a well-run facility with 220 berths, a 100-tonne travel-lift, and one of the best chandleries in Singapore. Its position just inside the narrow western entrance to the Strait of Singapore makes it an excellent first port of call for boats arriving from the Malacca Strait. The marina's boatyard handles everything from blister repairs and osmosis treatment to complete refit projects. Diesel and petrol are available around the clock.

Admiral Marina

Admiral Marina, located in the industrial area of Jurong Island on Singapore's western coast, primarily serves commercial and charter vessels but accepts leisure yachts subject to availability. It is close to petroleum terminals and bunkering facilities, making it a practical stop for motorsailers needing large fuel loads. The berths are functional rather than resort-style, but the convenience of the location is hard to argue with for boats heading west through the Malacca Strait.

Marina Bay, Central Singapore

Marina Bay is Singapore's most iconic waterfront — home to the Marina Bay Sands resort and the ArtScience Museum — but it also contains a working marina administered by Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority. Berths here are reserved for events and visiting superyachts; most cruising boats will not find permanent space. That said, the occasional visitor berth is available during non-event periods, and the experience of lying opposite the glittering Singapore skyline and the Helix Bridge is unmatched anywhere in the region.

Keppel Bay Marina

Keppel Bay Marina, developed in the Keppel Harbour area south of the main city, was a prestigious facility that underwent redevelopment in the early 2020s. At its peak it offered around 170 berths for yachts up to 50 metres, five-star amenities, and proximity to the World Sentosa Marina redevelopment zone. Sailors should check current operational status before planning a stay, as the redevelopment timeline has extended.

West Coast Promenade Anchorage

Singapore's West Coast Promenade, adjacent to Pasir Panjang Road and the National University of Singapore waterfront, is a popular free anchorage for boats of modest size waiting for weather or crew. It is not a managed marina, but the holding is generally good in the muddy bottom, and the dinghy landing at the promenade steps is straightforward. The anchorage sits inside the western shipping lane; careful watch-keeping and proper lighting are mandatory.

Marina at Keppel Bay (Residential Pontoons)

The residential pontoons at Keppel Bay's luxury condo development are not a public marina, but they form part of the broader yachting ecosystem and are home to many Singapore-registered offshore racing and cruising yachts. The development has hosted several starts for offshore races, and its sheltered waters are used regularly for safety briefings before longer passages to Batam or Bintan in Indonesia.
