Sailing at Marina Bay
If you love sailboats, you will love to get your kids onto the sailboats at the Marina Bay Area.
Yes! These sailboats will be at the Marina Bay area, so that the public can enjoy a sailing experience totally Free of charge. Many Thanks to DBS Bank who has been sponsoring this initiative, as they are planning to invest $10 million over the next 3 years in the Marina Bay, so that people from all walks of life to enjoy the Bay.
Nicole and I were excited for our 1st sailing experience together, and she was even more excited that she was the only child going. Participants must be 7yo and above, and as a result Nathan and Nadine did not qualify for the sailing experience. Needless to say…when the time came for her maiden voyage…she was apprehensive…
We had the pleasure of having Anthony guiding us for our Voyage. Anthony is also a Sea Games Medalist and he has won Gold and Silver Medals representing Singapore. He has a wealth of experience, as he has started sailing when he was only 6yo. As he explained some basic concepts to us, he passed the “rudder” to Nicole, and she had the pleasure of steering us for the whole voyage! 
Meanwhile Daddy was busy clicking away on his camera, as this is the first time, I have been out at the bay with a Camera. (Photos are taken courtesy of the Sony Nex-F3)
I definitely recommend this sailing experience with the DBS Sailboats, as the waters are so calm, that you won’t even f eel seasick at all. Furthermore, if you love taking pictures, the half an hour is just not long enough for any blogger like myself. We really enjoyed ourselves!
This sailing experience is available only on the last Saturday of each month from April to November, and interested sailors will need to Register here for a time slot! Do be fast, as tickets go like really fast! If I were you, I would standby your pc, to catch the slots, when the tickets are released…(D0 check the DBS event website for the next available dates!)
If you love these activities, you will be glad that there are more coming up this year. Other key activities lined up include the DBS Marina Regatta – Singapore’s largest water festival – in May, the POSB PAssion Run for Kids in September and a DBS Social Enterprise Special at the end of the year.
The DBS Marina Regatta in May is definitely an event that our family is looking forward to, as besides the Dragon boats on the 18-19 May, there will be a Water Sports Festival on the 24-25 May.
So start clicking, and get your kids onto the Bay for some family fun!
