In 1987, SRC was awarded with the tender license to run river services on Singapore River and the bumboats were once again brought into Singapore River by SRC to preserve the river heritage of its old charm and memory. This marks a new chapter in the Singapore River history, as SRC become the first to operate such service.

The bumboat rides have been well received by tourists and the locals. From a humble fleet of 4 bumboats in 1987, SRC has since increased its number to 24 today with a few new additions coming onboard soon. Under its strong management, SRC has developed a firm network of channel intermediaries both local and overseas, government agencies, embassies, event organizers and other operators in the tourism sectors.

As an active operator that has helped to transform the old Singapore River to one of our tourism icons today, SRC has repeatedly been awarded by STB with operating license to continue to run the river services on Singapore River. We are also proud to inform you that this year we are one of the finalists for the Singapore Tourism Board's award in the Best Sight seeing/ Leisure/ Educational Programmed Category. To maintain high service standards, we have improved the design of our bumboats and worked with food and beverage outlets to provide new dining experiences. We hope to provide an unique experience for all tourists as well as for locals.
