Coconut Yachts operates from Singapore’s two premier marinas: Marina @ Keppel Bay and ONE°15 Marina at Sentosa Cove. They are the country’s most established yacht marinas, both a short drive from the city, both home to a sizeable fleet. They also have meaningfully different characters.
For most charters the choice does not matter much. For a few specific guest profiles it absolutely does. Here is what actually differs.
Two marinas, two vibes
Both marinas put you minutes from the Southern Islands. Both have the infrastructure for a comfortable arrival. The difference is the experience around the boat.
Marina @ Keppel Bay has an urban, professional feel. Closer to the CBD, easier transit for most Singapore residents, dockside dining is quiet. Many corporate charters prefer Keppel Bay for its understated arrival.
ONE°15 Marina at Sentosa Cove has a resort-island feel. Set within the Sentosa Cove residential and resort precinct, surrounded by waterfront restaurants and bars, easier for guests already staying on Sentosa. Most leisure and celebration charters prefer ONE°15 for its post-charter atmosphere.
If your guests are not familiar with Singapore, ask where they are staying. It usually decides the marina.

Which yachts depart from where
Coconut Yachts operates vessels across both marinas. Your captain and our concierge will confirm departure point at the time of booking. A few patterns:
- The Aquila 48 and Megaway 45 power catamarans typically rotate between both
- The Riviera 39 Open Flybridge and Clipper Heritage 40 Monohull depart most often from Keppel Bay
- The Leopard 51 Luxury Power Catamaran is positioned based on the booking’s group size and itinerary
If you have a specific yacht preference, mention it at booking and we will route the day accordingly.
A quick decision framework
Choose Marina @ Keppel Bay if:
- Most of your guests live or work in central or western Singapore
- The charter is a transit-led event (board on time, depart on time, no after-party)
- A corporate group prefers low-key arrival
- You are charter-only and not building the day around marina amenities
Choose ONE°15 Marina at Sentosa Cove if:
- Guests are staying at Sentosa Cove, the W Hotel, or in the south
- You want post-charter dinner at the marina
- The day is a celebration where the venue (not just the boat) is part of the moment
- The charter is multi-yacht or larger format
Plan your departure
Both marinas are excellent. Both will get you to the Southern Islands, the sunset and back without friction. The right one depends on where your guests are coming from and what they want after the charter. Browse the fleet or message our concierge on WhatsApp at +65 8980 2262.
