Prior to the pandemic, Capital Zul had to travel often due to the nature of his job as a marine electrical engineer, where he had to attend to consultancy assignments for big tanker ships, cruise ships, and more. When the pandemic hit, he was unable to go overseas, but his heart was still set in the seas. This gave him the idea to run his very own private yacht to share his experience on the sea with us city-slickers, as he told us ?
“There’s something about the sun, the sea and its calming waves that makes it perfect to bask in and let our stresses disappear for a while. I would like families or friends coming aboard my yacht to experience these rare, stress-free moments while having quality time with your loved ones as well” Captain Zul explains.
He decided to name his yacht Emma Rose, which refers to his 3-year-old daughter. How cool and adorable is that? ?
Captain Zul offers four different packages for you to choose from and have a ballin’ time with your loved ones! From cooking up your own mookata lunch or dinner with breathtaking views of Singapore’s offshore islands as the backdrop to having overnight stays and playing fun water sports, it’s an experience you simply do not want to miss at all! ?

Eat like a king with their BBQ & Grill (Lunch & Dinner) package. You’ll get to eat all your favourite halal steamboat & BBQ meals on a yacht. Captain Zul will sail the yacht to the calm, blue waters near Pulau Ubin or Marina, depending on your choice of package, and you’ll get picturesque views while you cook and indulge in a wide range of sizzling, scrumptious seafood and premium meats (yes they offer wagyu beef too!) on the main deck. All of the food provided comes from halal-certified suppliers. Feels like heaven on earth, doesn’t it? ?

Staycations in hotels just a little too mundane for you? Why not have a yachtcation instead? Take on your yacht experience to the fullest, and have an overnight stay as part of the Boat Stay Sea Living Experience package. It almost feels like your usual hotel, except it’s way fancier and cooler. They have a guest room, living room, guest toilet (with a mini bathtub!) and a pantry for your ocean getaway.
There’s simply so much for you to do! Have a splashing time in the sea, catch up with your Netflix and Disney+ bingeing, all thanks to their complimentary Wi-Fi access, or scream your hearts out in a karaoke session (you’re out at sea, so you don’t have to worry about disturbing anyone, but the Captain might be the judge of your singing talents ?). You also have the options to add on a BBQ Mookata Dinner, and also as many hours of Sail Out activities as you’d like! ?

For the more adventurous types, you’ll definitely enjoy their Jetski Experience at Lazarus or their Fishing Boat Charter packages. Have a great, energising kickstart to your day racing around Sentosa with your loved ones, or enjoy a peaceful morning by the sea trying your luck for a good catch. While Captain Zul offers basic rods, professionals can opt to bring their own.

You can even book the yacht as a venue for your events! Be it a wedding photoshoot or special celebrations such as birthdays or anniversaries, it’s truly a unique place to make your special event memorable! ?

If you’re looking for an amazing staycation like no other (sorry we meant, yachtcation) with your kids, or looking to spend quality time with your friends or partner, you should definitely check out Emma Rose Yacht. Remember to pack your sun essentials, your swimsuits, and your luggage (Captain Zul hints on a possible best dress up competition in a few months’ time ?). All aboard! ?
