Wanderlust Catch and Cook Yacht Fishing Charter, Singapore
Quick answer
Wanderlust Adventures' Catch and Cook is a private 4-hour yacht fishing trip from Sentosa for up to 8 people at $934 per group, about $117 each when full.
Rods, bait, a chef and seasick pills are included; red wine is banned, and the listing shows no rating, so ask the operator about start times.
The Wanderlust catch and cook trip is a private fishing charter in the Southern Islands, run by Wanderlust Adventures Pte Ltd with instructors from My Fishing Frenzy Academy. You fish for about four hours, then a chef cleans and grills what you caught.
What changes the decision is group size. The price is per boat, so a full group of 8 pays about the same per head as the shared join-in trip, while a couple pays roughly double. Fill the boat before you compare it with a seat on a shared yacht.

What is the Wanderlust Catch and Cook yacht fishing charter?
The Wanderlust Catch and Cook charter is a guided offshore fishing trip on a yacht, where the meal is made from your own catch.
- Boat: a private yacht for your group only.
- Guides: instructors from that academy teach technique and answer questions.
- Gear: rod, reel, tackle and bait are supplied.
- Kitchen: a chef cleans the fish and cooks it, with BBQ food available if ordered early.
The listing calls it beginner-friendly and says experienced anglers can use it too. It gives no boat length, no target species and no catch guarantee, so treat the fishing as a trip rather than a promised result.
Where does the fishing charter leave from?
It leaves from One Degree 15 Marina on Sentosa; you meet your guide at the first-floor seating beside the Wok15 restaurant. Open the marina meeting point on Google Maps.
The same meeting point is used by Wanderlust Adventures' private sunset dinner yacht and join-in fishing trip. Look for Wok15 on Google Maps as the landmark. I have no verified walking time from the nearest station, so I give none; route from your hotel in Maps and add a margin. Also see One Degree 15 Marina for the marina itself.
How long is it and what does the trip look like?
The charter lasts 4 hours, including the sail out to the fishing grounds, fishing, and the grilled meal.
| Stage | What happens | Time stated? |
|---|---|---|
| Board | Meet at the marina and board the yacht | No |
| Sail | Head out to the Southern Islands | No |
| Fish | Guides teach and help with bait and rigs | No |
| Cook | Chef cleans and grills the catch | No |
| Return | Back to One Degree 15 Marina | No |
Three things I would settle with the operator before the day:
- Start time: not shown until you choose a date.
- Fishing grounds: the listing names only the Southern Islands.
- Keeping fish: the listing mentions cooking, not taking fish home.
No minute-by-minute schedule exists in the listing, so the table shows order only. How long you spend on each part depends on conditions and bites, and the operator has not published a split.
What is included, and what should you bring?
Everything you need to fish is supplied; you bring ID, sun protection and optionally your own food and drinks.
| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| Rod, reel and tackle | Included |
| Bait | Included |
| Bottled water | Included |
| Raincoat | Included |
| Seasick pills | Included |
| Fish cleaning and chef | Included |
| BBQ food | Pre-order 3 days ahead |
| Own food and drinks | Allowed, no charge |
| Red wine | Not allowed |
| Passport or ID (copy accepted) | Bring |
Seasick pills are included, which is a good sign for first-timers, but take your own preference if you have a medicine you trust. Pack a hat, sunscreen and a dry top.
The food rule is unusually relaxed: you can carry your own drinks and snacks aboard without a fee, and only red wine is excluded. That makes a mixed group easy to cater for, from children's snacks to a cooler of soft drinks. If you want the grilled-catch meal to include sides, use the pre-order, which needs three days' notice, so do not leave it to the morning of the trip.
Plan for a long, mostly outdoor morning or afternoon. Sun, spray and a rocking deck make a dry change of clothes worth packing, even though the boat provides a raincoat.
How does it compare with other Singapore fishing trips?
This is the most expensive fishing option on the hub by total price, but with a full boat the per-person cost matches the join-in trip.
| Trip | Price | Format | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wanderlust Catch and Cook (this page) | $934 per group of 8 | Private yacht, 4 hours | None yet |
| Join-in yacht fishing, Southern Islands | $116 per person | Small group, 4 hours | 4.9 from 6 reviews |
| 4-hour kayak fishing tour | $116 per person | Small group, kayak | 3.9 from 8 reviews |
| Private sunset dinner on a 34 ft yacht | $637 per group | Private yacht, 4 hours | 5.0 from 1 review |
My pick for a group of five or more is this private charter, because you control the pace and the chef service is built in. A pair on a budget should look at the join-in trip. Everything is listed on the fishing charters in Singapore page and the Singapore boat tours hub.
Is the Wanderlust catch and cook charter worth it vs a shared trip?
The Wanderlust catch and cook charter is worth it for groups of 4 to 8 who want privacy, a cooked meal and flexibility; it is poor value for solo travellers and pairs.
| Group size | Per person | Per hour per person |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | $467.00 | $116.75 |
| 4 | $233.50 | $58.38 |
| 6 | $155.67 | $38.92 |
| 8 | $116.75 | $29.19 |
The Singapore median across the 12 tours on this site is about $29.50 per person per hour, so only a full boat is near market. Rating evidence is missing, which is the main risk.
When is the best time to go?
Dry months make the day pleasanter, but the listing names no fishing season, so weather is the only data I can give.
| Month | Avg daily high | Days with 1 mm+ rain | Sunset (15th) | On the water |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | 29.2 °C | 24 | 19:16 | Rainy: use the raincoat |
| Feb | 30.7 °C | 19 | 19:22 | Some showers |
| Mar | 30.0 °C | 29 | 19:17 | Wettest month: rain gear essential |
| Apr | 30.4 °C | 27 | 19:10 | Wet: bring the raincoat |
| May | 31.9 °C | 23 | 19:07 | Warm: shade and water |
| Jun | 31.6 °C | 12 | 19:12 | Fewest rainy days |
| Jul | 31.2 °C | 15 | 19:17 | Fewer rainy days |
| Aug | 30.4 °C | 21 | 19:14 | Mixed: check forecast |
| Sep | 30.1 °C | 22 | 19:04 | Mixed: check forecast |
| Oct | 31.3 °C | 17 | 18:54 | Warm: hat and water |
| Nov | 30.9 °C | 24 | 18:52 | Wet: showers likely |
| Dec | 29.9 °C | 26 | 19:02 | Wet: rain gear essential |
June 2025 had the fewest rainy days (12) and March the most (29); temperatures stay between 29 and 32 °C all year. Sunset times are shown because a 4-hour trip that ends near dusk matters on the way home. Data: Open-Meteo, sunrise-sunset.org.
Where can you fish in Singapore, and what are the rules?
Fishing inside national parks is allowed only at designated areas, and breaking the rules can cost a fine.
$3,000 is the maximum fine NParks says you may face for breaking its fishing regulations.
NParks allows fishing in its parks only at designated areas, and its detailed rules are in the NParks fishing practices brochure. The listing does not say which grounds the boat uses, and I found no official page requiring a personal licence for this trip. Ask the operator in writing, and follow the guides' instructions on where lines go in.
What do passengers say?
There are no reviews yet: GetYourGuide shows a new activity without a rating.
The closest evidence is the operator's join-in trip, rated 4.9 from only 6 reviews. That sample is small and positive-only, so I would not read it as proof for this private boat.
Who should skip it?
Skip this charter if you travel solo or as a pair, want a guaranteed catch, or need a specific species.
- Solo and pairs: $467 each for two; the join-in trip is $116.
- Wine drinkers: red wine is banned, other drinks are fine.
- Anyone prone to seasickness: pills are included, but this is offshore.
- Catch-guarantee seekers: the listing promises no result.
