Sea-cations by ONE15 Luxury Yachting, under ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove provides luxurious and exclusive short vacations at the sea for those looking for new experiences!
Amidst the existing attraction for hotel staycations is the rising interest in sea staycations. In times when we cannot cross the border for a little R&R (rest and recuperation), a sea getaway provides a short reprieve from the city.
There are several companies in Singapore offering a sea staycation, including ONE15 Luxury Yachting, under ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove. “Sea-cations” allows you the opportunity to indulge in a short and extravagant holiday onboard a luxury yacht. The best part is, the packages are fully customizable.
If fun and adventure is your mantra, head to nearby islets such as Lazarus to explore on foot or simply for a good splash. For a more educational getaway, visit Pulau Semakau (Singapore’s first and only offshore landfill island), Pulau Hantu (with many stories backing its name), Sisters’ Islands as well as St. John’s Island, which was designated as detention barracks for prisoners-of-war during the Japanese Occupation.
If you prefer something more relaxing, consider chartering a larger powerboat, which often offers luxurious spaces for indoor activities as well as spacious outdoor patios perfect for taking in the sea breeze.
Aside from itineraries, the menus on-board can also be tailored to dietary preferences and requirements as the charters come complete with a full set of operating and service crew.
