Review Body: We brought our 3 year son on the junk boat trip and we had a wonderful time. We got to try stand up paddle board, play on the wonderful soft sand at St John’s, Lazarus and Kusu Island. There were many wonderful memories made, roasting marshmallows over the campfire, seeing an octopus and lots of fish, crabs in the sea, watching a movie on the boat. We had such a great time, my son wants to go back again!

Review Body: We had a wonderful time. Captain and one-man crew, were chill & easy to hang out with. There were some issues with the electric BBQ but we managed to cook what we needed to. Gave 5 stars because we left feeling happy despite the small hiccup. Sleeping conditions inside the cabin was better because there was aircon. The breakfast was simple but good. Overall, a must try experience!

Review Body: What an amazing experience! Clifton was so friendly and helpful and the paddle boarding was amazing. We swam, we ate, we laughed. Such a gorgeous boat, so full of character with plenty of lounging space for both shade and sun lovers. The beach campfire was a real highlight. Thank you so much! We’ll be back.

Review Body: Had booked this trip for a good time with girlfriends and a proposal for my now fiancé! 🥳
Setting off in the noon from Keppel Club was smooth, went by Sentosa island and to St John’s where we docked. Test dip in the pool and tried on the lazing mat. Then SUP around the curve, gotten a few tips and tricks from Claire. We had our grill food and drinks and make ourselves dry to enjoy the upper deck with views.
Has pleasant amenities like the fridge, washroom/toilet, safe and good maintained equipments.
The men on the boat kept our trip safe and enjoyable. Kudos to the team!

Review Body: We got unlucky with the weather but the captain took us to a quiet cove in St John where the kids, oblivious of the pouring rain, had fun jumping off the boat and fooling around with the water toys (plenty of paddle boards and a water mat). The traditional junk is lovely, one of two left in Singapore. It brought back memories from the years we spent in HK. It’s definitely not the latest technology, but it certainly has its charm. The captain and his young crew member were welcoming and friendly. The boat enjoys a very large table, ideal for a group lunch.

Review Body: Our family of 5 with our pet dog had an excellent time on board which is very clean and great that we are able to wash down on board after our water activities. Clifton is cautious when boat sailed past and sent some waves, he navigates and always look back to ensure we are ok. He took beautiful pictures for us too. Gracie, our standup paddle instructor is patient and we picked up quickly under her guidance. We enjoyed ourselves so much.

Review Body: What a great experience! 5 hours is just the right amount of time to spend venturing out and doing the water activities. Be sure to bring portable fans because it can get real hot in Singapore's weather. It gets better though once we are out at a sea. All in all, a memorable experience celebrating a friend's birthday on the junkboat.

Review Body: Fantastic little cruise for our family of 5 to celebrate our final days in Singapore after seven years of calling the Red Dot home. Fantastic, relaxed crew led by Clifton. Brilliant for kids of all ages and amazing action and sunset photos to capture the experience. Highly recommend this boat and cruise.

Review Body: Cliff and Joel made a experienced and fun going team, smooth sailing for a wonderful day. Water sports setup was fun. Cliff would get in the water and teach us on SUP. AXL, our dog, enjoyed the water float as well. Very memorable experience for our special day.

Review Body: Clifton and Gracie were great hosts and were very accommodating to our party (including our little group of dogs). The boat was very cool - We especially liked the bean bags on the top deck and being able to jump off. A memorable trip!
