FREE and RELAX Sailing Adventure in Singapore🇸🇬 Setting Sail with DBS Bank / How to book DBS Sailing

ABBEY: Sailing at Marina Bay, let’s go! You will be transferred by some kind of dingy boat to the sail boat.  We were aboard a bigger boat this time.

However he told us that this is not “really” sailing as we won’t get wet. Haha. It’s good to cruise in Marina Bay; you’ll get different view of the Singapore skyline.

They have food and drinks stall, free archery target shooting, and display of bikes made out of bamboo. They even had a make-shift stage for the concert later that evening. A large photo wall was exhibited featuring all the guests and participants of the events.  We signed a waiver upon going sailing. We were given life jackets and briefed about the safety measures while on the boat. At first we were slow but when the wind struck the sails we picked up speed. I was afraid getting capsized when our boat tilted by 45-50 degrees. But our captain told us it would not happen as there is a weight under the boat that balances it.
