Singapore - Raffles Marina – 01°20.00'N, 103°38.00'E
Raffles Marina; 250$sg per week unto 40ft. + elec & water. Full facilities.

Free transport to MRT at Jurong East will often drop off at Boon Lay, the nearest supermarket if asked. Buses back from Boon Lay 193 &192 leave every 15-20 mins and stop outside Raffles entrance. Boat checkin is easy but can take a while as you cue up with agents for commercial ships at both Immigration and Customs.

There is no anchoring around Singapore apart from off Changi. This is very uncomfy due to wash. Lots of boats either go to Noosa Point Marina in Batam, Indonesia or Sebana Cove Marina in Malaysia and take the ferry across. The other option is to anchor in the Johor Strait off Johor Baru on the Malaysian side and take the bus across the causeway into Singapore. All 3 involve checking in and out. For some odd reason this can take an hour or more when travelling by bus. Occasionally one hears of problems at the border with large purchases.
