Singapore Island Cruise & Ferry Services Pte Ltd

What Singapore Island Cruise & Ferry Services Pte Ltd does

Singapore Island Cruise & Ferry Services Pte Ltd is a Singapore-based passenger ferry operator established in 2007, running scheduled and chartered services from Marina South Pier to four Southern Islands — St. John's, Lazarus, Kusu, and Sisters'. The company operates a fleet of 14 air-conditioned vessels with passenger capacities ranging from 12 to 200, including a 12-seater fully electric harbour craft called the X-Tron that signals investment in low-emission vessel technology.

The business generates revenue through three primary mechanisms: scheduled one-way and round-trip tickets priced at S$15 per adult and S$12 per child, bundled experience tickets combining ferry access with bicycle rental (S$37) or water sports at Lazarus Sea Sports Centre (S$45), and private ferry and yacht charters for groups and corporate events. The latter is supported by a separate Yacht Charter service operated via islandyacht.com.sg. Distribution spans a direct online booking platform, a physical ticket booth co-located with the MRT station at Marina South Pier, and a third-party tourism-aggregator partnership with BeMyGuest covering inbound leisure travelers.

The customer base is predominantly individual consumers and families seeking passport-free day trips to the Southern Islands, with a secondary segment of corporate and private groups booking exclusive charters. Partnerships with NParks (for Sisters' Islands Marine Park access), Gogreen Eco Adventure, and Lazarus Sea Sports Centre form the experiential ecosystem that differentiates the offering from a pure transport service. The company is privately held, has a disclosed headcount of approximately 12, and operates without public revenue disclosure or external funding.

Regional players

Broad incumbents

• Singapore Cable Car (Mount Faber Leisure Group): Mount Faber Leisure Group operates the Singapore Cable Car and Sentosa island leisure attractions. While it serves a different transport mode, it competes for the same Singapore resident and tourist leisure-day-out wallet.
• Sentosa Development Corporation (Sentosa Express): Sentosa Development Corporation operates the Sentosa Express and broader island transport infrastructure as part of an integrated leisure/resort operator. While it serves a different primary destination (Sentosa), it competes for the same Singapore leisure passenger transport wallet and benefits from similar MRT-linked foot traffic.
