Charter services are subject to vessel availability. Availability is confirmed only upon receipt of deposit payment.
04 Bookings & Reservations
All booking enquiries are submitted via our website contact form or by telephone. A booking becomes confirmed only when the Company issues a written confirmation and the required deposit is received.
Booking confirmations will include the charter type, date, duration, guest count, and any agreed customisations. Guests should review the confirmation and notify the Company of any discrepancies within 48 hours.
The Company reserves the right to decline any booking at its discretion without providing a reason. In such cases, any deposit paid will be returned in full within 7 business days.
Provisional bookings (holds without deposit) may be offered at the Company's discretion and are valid for a maximum of 5 business days. After this period, the provisional hold is released automatically.
05 Payment Terms
All charter prices are quoted in Singapore Dollars (SGD / S$) and include applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) where required by law.
A non-refundable deposit of 30% of the total charter price is due within 5 business days of booking confirmation to secure the date. The remaining balance is due no later than 7 days before the charter departure.
For the Archipelago Discovery Week, payment terms are as follows: 30% deposit on confirmation, 40% due 30 days before departure, and the remaining 30% due 7 days before departure.
Accepted payment methods include bank transfer and major credit cards as notified in the booking confirmation. Payments by credit card may incur a processing fee, which will be disclosed at the time of payment.
Late payments may result in the release of the booking date. The Company will contact the guest before releasing any confirmed booking.

Date Changes
Requests to change a confirmed charter date are accommodated where possible, subject to vessel availability. One complimentary date change may be made with more than 14 days' notice. Subsequent changes or changes with less than 14 days' notice may incur an administration fee.
07 Guest Responsibilities
Each guest is responsible for their own conduct during the charter. Guests agree to:
- Follow all instructions given by the captain and crew at all times.
- Disclose any relevant medical conditions, mobility limitations, or allergies at the time of booking.
- Ensure that guests in their group, including minors, behave in a manner that does not compromise safety or the experience of others.
- Treat the vessel, its equipment, and all crew members with care and respect.
- Arrive at the designated embarkation point at the agreed time. Late arrivals will not result in an extension of the charter duration.
Guests who cause damage to the vessel or its equipment may be liable for repair or replacement costs. The Company will provide documentation of any damage and a cost estimate before pursuing reimbursement.
The captain has the authority to return the vessel to port if, in their judgement, guest behaviour poses a risk to the safety or wellbeing of any person onboard. No refund will be issued in such circumstances.
08 Safety & Vessel Rules
All charters operate under the regulations of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA). Guests must comply with all applicable maritime laws and safety requirements.
- Life jackets are available onboard and must be worn when instructed by the captain.
- Alcohol consumption is permitted in moderation. The captain may limit or restrict alcohol service at their discretion.
- Smoking is permitted only in designated areas on the open deck.
- No guest may operate the vessel's engine, navigation systems, or any mechanical equipment without explicit permission from the captain.
- Swimming and water activities are permitted only at designated anchorages and with the captain's approval.
The Company carries marine insurance as required under Singapore law. Guests are advised to arrange their own travel insurance covering water-based activities for the duration of the charter.
09 Limitation of Liability
The Company operates all charters with professionally certified crew and properly maintained vessels. Notwithstanding this, maritime activities carry inherent risks, and guests participate with awareness of this.
To the extent permitted by Singapore law, the Company's liability for any claim arising from a charter — including injury, illness, property loss, or consequential loss — shall not exceed the total amount paid by the guest for the specific charter in question.
The Company is not liable for any loss or inconvenience resulting from events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: adverse weather, port authority directives, mechanical failure, acts of nature, or public health measures.
Nothing in these Terms limits the Company's liability for death or personal injury caused by the Company's negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under Singapore law.

Photography and video taken by guests during charters may be used for personal, non-commercial purposes. Guests who publish charter content on social media or other public platforms do so at their own discretion.

12 Changes to Terms
The Company may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will be published on this page with an updated effective date. Guests with active bookings at the time of any material change will be notified directly.
Continued use of our services or maintenance of an existing booking after changes have been published constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
We encourage guests to review this page periodically. The version in effect at the time of your booking departure date applies to that booking.
13 Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Singapore. Any dispute arising from or related to a charter or these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore.
