“I always say that a good marina is just like a good parking lot,” says Arthur Tay with a modest smile. “If you’re in the right part of town, you’re always full. And I’m very pleased to say that ours is consistently full.”
Location and occupancy considerations aside, ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove bears little resemblance to a parking lot. Against the backdrop of a lush golf course, the treelined private marina and yacht club are more of a maritime oasis. The sleek, white vessels resting at anchor in its invitingly clear waters offer a further feast for the eyes. Among those to have moored here are craft belonging to royalty and other household-name sea-lovers.
Since the launch of Arthur’s brainchild in 2007, ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove has ridden a wave of critical acclaim. Named Best Asian Marina of the Year at the Asia Boating Awards on eight occasions, it also won the Marina World International Marina of the Year Award in 2021. Regularly hosting some of the world’s leading yacht races and events, it was also the first Southeast Asian marina to earn Platinum Gold Anchor status, the industry’s equivalent of a sevenstar hotel rating.
