[Review] Exploring Singapore on the Sea with Get Hooked SG’s Private Boat Tour

If you’re looking for an out-of-the-box, memorable and family-friendly activity in Singapore, consider chartering a private boat tour around Singapore by sea with Get Hooked SG. Founded by a passionate Singaporean team with a deep love for the sea, Get Hooked SG offers a wide range of private boat tours, including customisable options, making sea travel accessible to all.

Prices start from S$400 to book a boat for various tour options, ranging from 3 to 4 hours, to sit from 6 to 20 passengers. Details are available here to make a booking. Note that the prices are not inclusive of F&B which can be ordered with Get Hooked SG prior to the boat trip.

The boat ride starts from Marina Country Club in Punggol. For those who drive, paid hourly parking is available.

What sets Get Hooked SG apart from other private boat operators is the variety of experiences they offer. Whether you’re a fishing enthusiast, a food lover, or seeking an adventure with a spooky twist, they have something for everyone.

The Scenic and Sunrise Tour which we experienced takes you to Singapore’s Northeastern islands, specifically Pulau Ubin, the only inhabited island among the 63 islands of Singapore.

The knowledgeable boat captain cum guide will steer you around the island’s mangrove swamps, untouched wildlife, and laid-back charm, sharing interesting historical facts and stories along the way.

The finale of the tour is a stopover at Smith Marine, Singapore’s first and only floating restaurant, which also functions as a fish farm. Dining at the restaurant is optional and the cost is not included in the tour.

If you choose not to dine there, you can also have fun exploring the floating fish farm, feeding the fish there, or just chilling around.

The whole experience felt like a heartland version of a yacht charter from the affluent Sentosa enclave, in a good way. Singapore is a very small island state and you can explore the whole perimeter by sea in a few hours.

For those who enjoy a thrill, the Get Spooked Sundown Tour is Singapore’s first spooky-themed boat adventure. It takes you to the chilling and educational locations within the Northeastern sea at night. Under the guidance of experienced guides, you get to hear spine-tingling tales and supernatural stories, adding an extra layer of excitement to the tour. Afterward, you can relax and stargaze under the unpolluted night sky with your family and friends.

Fishing enthusiasts will be thrilled with Get Hooked SG’s Fishing Expedition. Setting sail towards the Northern Islands of Singapore, you will have the opportunity to catch a variety of fish species, including Groupers, Snappers, Breams, Tusk Fish, and more. The option to charter the entire boat for a private fishing experience ensures a personalised and enjoyable outing. Even if you are a novice angler, the expert anglers from Get Hooked SG will be there to provide guidance and share tips and tricks to ensure you don’t go home empty-handed. Additionally, the option to visit other popular local offshore fishing spots or nearby kelongs adds more flexibility and excitement to the expedition.

For those who have specific preferences or requirements, Get Hooked SG also offers customised tours. From planning a corporate retreat or an intimate getaway with loved ones, they can tailor an itinerary accordingly for you.
