Friends of Ximula Sail
Dog-friendly Morning Cruise
Every* Sunday, 9am - 12pm
In line with our vision to inspire a happy sailor in everyone, we hope to grow our community of sailors, adventure lovers, travellers, and nature enthusiasts, by bringing all like-minded souls together on board our beautiful catamarans Ximula & Gracefully for a regular casual cruise to relax, recharge and chill out, while enjoying the scenic view of Singapore's Southern Islands and iconic city skyline out at sea.
Programme:
We will set sail around the Southern Islands, before making a quick stopover at Lazarus Island, where guests can disembark for a short 30-45 min walk on the island to visit the beach or check out some of the latest developments on the island, such as a container convenience store and glamping units for staycations. Light snacks for breakfast will be served on board. Our itinerary is not always fixed; our skipper may decide to make small adjustments to the route depending on the weather conditions or the mood and vibes on board, so come with an open mind and free soul to make the most of the experience. :D
Maximum capacity: 18 guests x 1 yacht = 15 guests + 15 dogs
Minimum to go: 10 guests
Things to Note:
This is a casual chillout for all friends of Ximula Sail to relax, recharge and enjoy a refreshing cruise after a hectic day. Light snacks and coffee, tea, soft drinks and bottled water are included, but feel free to bring along your own breakfast. Feel free to bring your own drinks as well!
Please note water activities such as kayaking and stand up paddle boarding are not available during these open cruises.
To be fair to every guest, each guest can bring a maximum of 1 dog.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How does this work?
Each membership set at S$240 + GST entitles you to 3 sunset cruise credits. You use 1 credit for each time you come for our sunset cruise, or for each guest you bring. For example, if you join us for our sunset cruise this week with your partner, you would have used up 2 credits (1 for yourself, and 1 for your partner). You would then have 1 remaining credit left, which you may use to join us on any other week within a year.
Q. Is there a fee for bringing my dog?
No, dogs can come for free! However, please note that each guest can only bring max. 1 dog, to be fair to all guests.
Q. Can I just buy 1 credit only for me + my dog?
Our membership is in a set of 3 credits. Hence, you cannot purchase individual credits.
Q. What if I want to join with my family of 4 or more?
To join as a family of 4, you will need to purchase 2 sets of 3 credits (2 x S$240+ = S$480+). This gives you 6 credits. After you have come on board for our sunset cruise this week, you would then have 2 remaining credits left, which you may use to join us on any other week within a year.
If you have more guests, you can purchase more sets of credits accordingly. Do note that this does not guarantee all of you and your guests are able to join the same cruise date or be on the same yacht, as there is a limited capacity on board each yacht.
Q. When and where are your open cruises?
Our open cruises happen every Sunday morning 9am - 12nn, except for Public Holidays or some Sundays when we are away for sailing trips. You can see the upcoming cruise dates on our Events page. We depart from ONE 15 Marina Club, Sentosa Cove.
Q. Why is it only on Sundays? Can I sail on another day of the week?
We know you want to sail with us every day! We do have another open cruise every Tuesday 6.30pm - 9.30pm, but do note that it has a different itineraray and unfortunately are not available for pets to join. On other days of the week, we are running our private yacht charters. If you’d like to sail with us on your preferred date, you may book a private yacht charter here - this gives you the freedom to choose whichever date and time you prefer (subject to availability).
Q. How do I RSVP for the date I wish to join?
You can just RSVP on our Events page, call us: +65-87161519 / email us: hello@ximulasail.com anytime, so we can reserve a space for you!
Q. How early must I RSVP?
Please RSVP at least 3 days prior to the cruise date (i.e. by Saturday before the cruise), so that we can prepare for your arrival. If you'd like to join us at the last minute, please call us to check for availability first.
Q. Can I cancel after I RSVP?
As we have limited capacity, each guest on board is very important to us. If you have RSVP-ed to join but are unable to attend, please inform us as soon as you can, so that we can release the slot to someone else. However, if this happens after RSVP has closed (3 days prior to the cruise), it will still be considered as 1 credit used.
Q. What happens if it rains?
This is a rain or shine event, we will still cruise out if it rains. There's also beauty in sailing in the rain! Only in the event of inclement weather conditions such as a thunderstorm or very strong winds that deem it unsafe to sail, will we be cancelling the sunset cruise. You will be refunded the credit in this case.
Q. What kind of food will be served?
Light bites such as pastries, buns or other finger food will be served on board. All food served are halal-certified and local favorites. Occasionally, we may have partners or sponsors who may provide a surprise treat for a particular cruise, so you never know! If you have any dietary restrictions, please do bring along your own food.
