Singapore Yacht Club rents transient slips when member slips are vacant/out traveling.
The name “Singapore” was selected for the club because there used to be a town by that name near Saugatuck. . . “ Beneath the sands near the mouth of the Kalamazoo River lies the site of Singapore, one of Michigan’s most famous ghost towns. Formed in the 1830’s by New York land speculators, who hoped it would rival Chicago or Milwaukee as a port, Singapore was, in fact, until the 1870’s, a busy lumbering town with three mills, two hotels, several general stores, and a renowned “wildcat” bank. It outshone its neighbor to the South, “The Flats,” as Saugatuck was then called. When the supply of timber was exhausted, the mills closed, the once bustling waterfront grew quiet. The people left, with most of them settling in Saugatuck. Gradually, Lake Michigan’s shifting sands buried Singapore.”
Singapore is a great yacht club, clean facilities, and great docks, and friendly folks all around!
The service was as great as the location! As we approached our assigned slip with a nasty crosswind, we were met by two dockhands (John and John) that helped us into a rather snug spot with ease. After helping make us secure, one of the staff members brought us our welcome packet (bathroom codes, wifi PW, etc.) rather than making us trek to the office to check in. The next day, we were allowed to stay after the 11:00 AM checkout time since they had no one booked for the same slip later that day. Then when we departed in another nasty crosswind, we were again aided by one of the same staff members who helped us at arrival. We highly recommend SYC if they have availability.
Terrific place. Dock hand, John, was very helpful upon arrival. Got us to a slip with the correct electric and help us secure the boat. The Butler Patio was a little close and noisy.
The dock crew is awesome, as is the Dockmaster …good facility and in the center of town
The staff was great and more than helpful. The location is perfect for Saugatuck
Singapore Yacht Club is great! The downtown is right there and the dock hands are great! The first fixed dock we tried was very tall for my wife to climb up so they were kind enough to work at finding another lower dock and helped me move including hooking up our electric and bringing ice to the boat. Fun stop!
Great location, amenities and friendly service. Sara (Sarah) was amazing with a great smile.
the only issue was the amount of stuff in the water that clogged the intake strainers
Singapore Yacht Club is, and always has been a top notch marina. From arrival assisting with meeting us at the dock and throughout our stay. Super clean bathhouse and grounds. Thank you Steve and staff. Hope to see you again soon.
The dock staff are super nice. The location could not be better just step off your boat and boom all the fun of Saugutuck is yours to enjoy. The facilities are clean and available.
Great dock master and staff! They always make things easy upon arrival and take care of everything during your stay!
Again.....Always a great place to stay. Friendly staff, and friendly dock owners.
Steve and his crew did a great job during our stay!
Fun place to stay! DockMaster Steve and his crew did a great job! Very professional😎
Sara was very helpful at each step. She helped with the reservation tying up and a great source of information. Great but short stay
Nice slip right in front of the Butler restaurant. Clean bathrooms. Very helpful staff. They loaned me a 50 amp splitter-adapter so I could plug in both of my 30 amp cords.
Great place to vacation. Very accommodating!!!! Will go back and visit.
Best stop for us. Loved everything about it. Great people and awesome location. Thank you Sara John and steve
We had an enjoyable weekend in Saugatuck. The team at Singapore Yacht Club was very helpful!
Always a great place to stay. The staff is excellent.
Best time ever! Service, atmosphere and the whole marina was fantastic.
Helpful staff, friendly dock neighbours, clean facilities, great location! We will be back for sure!!
Wonderful place, staff friendly! Can’t wait to come back!! Bathrooms could use a facelift!
Excellent service from dock master Steve and assistant John —tying us up (6 lines) upon arrival, connecting the power cord, connecting the dock water hose , providing an in slip pump out ,on departure disconnecting everything they had connected and being friendly and personable. Made the stay just what we all hope for. Couldn’t be better.
One of my favorite marinas on the Great Lakes. Dockmaster Steve was awesome, as was his entire team. We were there for 6 days and enjoyed every minute of our visit.
Great marina, great location to town, excellent staff!
This is our go to marina when we take a boat trip to Saugatuck. Great location, very helpful staff. Given that it is a private facility, they really treat visitors very well and make you feel right at home.
I felt really exclusionary in that I couldn’t use the club grill or sit at their picnic tables on the lawn. Steve was great and brought a grill to me.
Great location, in the center of every Saugatuck.
Marina is close to everything, easy walk to the shops and restaurants, access to pool is great, dock-master is friendly and very helpful, beautiful place. Sometimes it can get a little rocky due to the boat traffic on the river so make sure to tie up well. Great place and will be going back.
Excellent marina! We stated 3 nights, it’s close to downtown within easy walking distance to everything.
Great staff, great location, best spot to watch the fireworks on the 4th from the cockpit of the boat!
The location is perfect and the staff were amazing! Highly recommend!
No refund or rain check! Weather not cooperating. :(
Lovey dockhands and great location. Bathrooms are clean and functional, if a little dated.
LOVE THIS MARINA. STEVE AND JOHN WERE GREAT TO WORK WITH!
They need to do a better job communicating -- answering their phone and/or the radio.
Harbormaster, tom always quite helpful. Clean and neat Yacht club! Great location.
Great. Tom was such a help. Really enjoyed our stay.
Tom does a great job on making you feel welcome and keeping the place look great!
Beautiful yacht club with very helpful members. Will definitely stay here again.
Crew was great as always. New pavilion at Butler will be nice but construction work at 8AM by a marina not so good.
Great staff and easy access into the slips. We forgot our 50 amp to 30 amp shore power adapter, but they had one we were able to borrow. Restrooms and showers are perfectly adequate, but not what I would have expected from a "yacht club". They need to be updated as compared with other marinas and yacht clubs along the eastern shore of LM.
Tom and his crew were very helpful and welcoming. The location cannot be beat and we all enjoyed the pool.
Iconic place, great people and service. Can't wait to go again.
This marina is on the pricey side but it’s probably worth it. The dock master Tommy, is amazingly helpful. There is a pool and nice changing rooms. The wifi is decent. It’s very walkable to restaurants and shops. The Butler music can be a tad loud, but it’s a minor nuisance. We enjoyed ourselves very much.
Great place , very helpful staff and great location!
Despite having a paid/confirmed reservation on Dockwa, and exchanging messages with with the SYC manager confirming same -- we were not provided with a slip number prior to our visit. The afternoon of our arrival, we called ahead to request a slip number -- and that went to voicemail. Our call was not returned. We arrived later that night to find a completely full marina, and no place to park our boat. Singapore YC had every opportunity to provide us a slip number via email, text or voice call. This situation could have been avoided - easily. But their lack of follow-through put us in a vulnerable and frustrating position. It is hard to fully express our level of frustration with polite words.
Great spot right in downtown Saugatuck but lots of wakes from passing boaters.
Great marina, great help at the docks coming in. Enjoyed our stay!
Marina manager told us we would likely get a transient slip and then stopped returning voice mails. Just a “no slips available” reply would have been professional, and it was more frustrating when we got a slip elsewhere and found that they were calling people to offer them slips, at least one of whom called after we did.
Kevin was awesome making sure the slip was convenient and safe. Everyone very friendly on the dock and very short walk for food and drinks. Docks and facilities in excellent condition. Very quick response for reservations on Dockwa. Extended the stay an extra night because of the great experience. Can’t wait to return!!
Very nice and helpful Dock Master! Saugatuck was perfect for our wedding anniversary weekend.
Top Notch Marina! The dock hands are extremely helpful and professional. Permanent slip holders are friendly and welcoming. The grounds, docks, picnic tables, and pool are immaculate. River on one side and beautiful park edged with a long boardwalk on the other side that connects the waterfront experience to the wonderfully quaint town--it doesn't get much better than this place on the Great Lakes!
Wonderful marina in a great location downtown Saugatuck. The dockmaster and his crew are very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend this marina!
We really enjoyed the way the entire Marina was maintained and staff was very friendly. We had an opportunity to meet a few members and they were very welcoming.
Dock master and crew were very helpful in getting us tied up at the slip. We were especially pleased about this as we arrived late in the afternoon with a strong storm impending. Restroom and showers were second rate with a broken shower fixture in ladies room and poor ventilation. Definitely several notches below what is provided I the Michigan municipal marinas at much lower cost.
We enjoyed our visit ! Dockmaster’s were very accommodating.
Always enjoy our stay at Singapore Yacht Clubl. Dockmaster Tom is very helpful and attentive.
Excellent location right beside the town with beach-y shops and restaurants. Top notch Marina with excellent service
Dock crew was fantastic! Nice pool, bbq grills and socially distanced tables. Super location close to shopping, no need for a dingy. Great visit.
You really can’t ask for more. The setting is delightful. All of Saugatuck is in walking distance. The dock master was super responsive to my Dockwa emails. The deck hands took great care of us ; making sure we were tied in an dock power on before they went on their way. We will be back
