Experience the Serenity of Lazarus Island on a Private 34ft Yacht
When browsing Singapore’s array of sightseeing options, a private yacht cruise to Lazarus Island sounds like a slice of paradise—yet it’s surprisingly accessible. This tour, offered by Wanderlust Adventures, takes you on a four-hour journey aboard a modern 34-foot yacht, providing a chance to escape the city’s hustle and enjoy Singapore’s southern islands in style. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just craving some sun and sea, this experience blends relaxation with adventure.
What we genuinely love about this cruise is its private setting—you won’t be part of a large group, just your own party of up to 10. Plus, the inclusion of water toys like stand-up paddleboarding and floating mats makes it ideal for both relaxation and active fun. The boat itself is modern and well-equipped, ensuring a smooth ride and comfortable lounge areas.
A slight consideration is the lack of included food or drinks, which means you’ll want to bring your favorite snacks and beverages—red wine isn’t allowed onboard, so plan accordingly if you’re celebrating. Also, keep in mind that the scheduled times are based on availability, so booking in advance is a smart move.
This tour suits travelers who appreciate a mix of comfort, intimacy, and outdoor water fun. If you’re craving a memorable day on the water with the chance for some sea-based activities, this cruise is a fantastic choice.

A Closer Look at the Yacht Cruise
This private yacht tour begins at Wok 15 Restaurant, a convenient starting point in Singapore’s marina area. After a quick safety briefing from the captain—who will also be your guide—you’ll set sail toward Lazarus Island. The journey itself is part of the charm; with the wind in your hair and Singapore’s skyline fading behind, you’ll quickly feel the switch from busy city to tranquil waters.
The modern 34ft yacht is outfitted with an indoor lounge area, providing some shelter and comfort if the sun becomes too intense or if you want a break from the sun. The boat’s design ensures a stable ride, so even those who are less comfortable on open water can relax and enjoy the scenery.
Once you arrive at Lazarus Island, the real fun begins. The island is renowned for its clear waters and soft sandy beaches—less crowded than some of Singapore’s other islands, making it perfect for a peaceful outing. You can try stand-up paddleboarding—a favorite for many—floating on the mats, or simply soaking up the sun on deck. For those interested in fishing, the crew is keen to share their tips and enthusiasm, and there’s an optional BBQ available for purchase, adding a culinary touch to your day.
Many reviews highlight the friendly and enthusiastic crew who are eager to make your experience memorable. One reviewer mentioned, “The captain and crew live for the thrill of the catch and can’t wait to share this paradise,” which perfectly captures the vibe onboard. Others appreciated the flexibility—you can bring your own food and drinks, making it easy to tailor the experience to your preferences.
The water toys are a definite highlight, providing fun for all ages. Paddleboards are user-friendly and a great way to explore the calm waters, while floating mats offer a lazy way to relax. If you’re looking for a day that balances active water play with downtime in the sun, this tour delivers.
Timing-wise, the four-hour duration feels just right—long enough to enjoy the island and water activities without feeling rushed. The departure times vary, so it’s best to check availability and plan accordingly. The cruise ends back at the marina, leaving you with a peaceful yet invigorating memory of your day.

The cost allows for a personalized, intimate adventure that beats crowded boat tours or generic island visits.
While food isn’t included, the open policy on bringing your own makes it easy to pack snacks or a picnic. The optional BBQ can be added at extra cost if you’re craving a grilled seafood feast after a swim.
