The first Singapore APS Captains Cocktail Party was sponsored and hosted by Asia Pacific Superyachts Singapore GM Scott Walker, following a great success of this year’s Singapore Yacht Show. The event was held at the Red Lantern Lounge on the rooftop of the Fullerton Bay Hotel.

Attended by a host of yacht crews from the show along with captains visiting Singapore at the time, yachting expert and long time Singapore resident Captain Scott in planning ahead, reported: “We had a great night at a fantastic place and we look forward to more gatherings like this in future years!”
The Captains enthusiastically agreed the Red Lantern Lounge was a fantastic venue as they viewed the spectacular panoramic views over the Singapore CBD skyline and Marina Bay precinct at one of the newest- and best- rooftop bars in Singapore. The luxurious hotel and rooftop bar is adjacent to the historic Clifford Pier on the Marina Bay waterfront in central Singapore. The bar takes its name from the original Chinese description for Clifford Pier – ‘Red Lantern Pier’.
The pier was the landing point for immigrants arriving in Singapore in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Red lanterns were used as a guide for the Captains… hanging from the pier and lighting the way for seafarers. Now, a century later, the site of the ‘Red Lanterns’ was once again the place for captains of international vessels to meet!
