Singapore HarbourFront to Harbour Bay Ferry (Horizon Fast Ferry)

Why Harbour Bay? Direct to Nagoya in 50 Minutes

Harbour Bay Ferry Terminal sits on Batam's north coast, just five minutes by Grab from Nagoya Hill Shopping Mall — the most convenient arrival point for shopping-focused weekend trips. Horizon Fast Ferry is the sole operator on this route, which means consistent quality and no overcrowding from competing passengers.

The terminal itself is modern and well-maintained. From Harbour Bay, Grab and taxis are available immediately outside the arrivals hall. The short ride to Nagoya Hill costs approximately IDR 15,000–25,000 (SGD 1–2). Batam Centre, Waterfront City and Nongsa are all accessible from this terminal with a slightly longer journey.

As of July 2026, all HarbourFront ferry operators have relocated to the Singapore Cruise Centre at 5 HarbourFront Avenue — Horizon Fast Ferry from 15 July. Access is via HarbourFront MRT Exit B with a sheltered walkway, approximately the same distance as the previous counter location.

Booking Tips

Economy walk-in tickets are generally available for most sailings, but Business and VIP classes sell out quickly on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. Book at least one week ahead for premium classes on peak departures. Arrive 45–60 minutes before departure; check-in closes 45 minutes before sailing and immigration takes an additional 15 minutes.

Return Journey

Book your return sailing when you purchase the outbound ticket to avoid flexibility issues with hotel checkout. Sunday evening return slots (the 19:15 and 20:30 WIB departures) sell out on long weekends. The vessel is heavily air-conditioned — bring a light jacket regardless of the season.
