When you add in the cost of the transfer to the boat and the marine park fees, the total comes out to about $640. Still far below your budget.
MQ II is also a budget boat, albeit a newer one. She is only into her second season, I believe. I usually don't put my customers on MQ because I have found the company problematic to deal with. Maybe they're better when they are working directly with customers.
You can do better than either of these boats and still be pretty close to your budget. With a budget of $1K, you can get on a boat with private bathrooms, for example. OTOH, if you meant your budget was $1K Sing dollars, that changes things! I'd still recommend different boats, though, even so.

You are absolutely right.
Its 1k SGD 
I merely copy my post from a Singapore forum and forgot to change the currency. Which boats would you suggest though?
