E&O Straits Quay Water Limousine is a ferry service between the Eastern & Oriental Hotel and Straits Quay. The water limousine service started on 7 August, 2013, and was launched by State Local Government and Traffic Management Committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow.
The Lady Martina water limousine service, which was named after Captain Francis Light's significant other, Martina Rosells, offers guest of the hotel a chance to go to Straits Quay for shopping without having to pass through the gridlock of George Town traffic. Also, they get to view Penang Island from the sea.

The water limousine service is presently restricted to hotel guests and patrons of Straits Quay. The fare is RM10 per return ticket. Shoppers at Straits Quay are also eligible to purchase two return tickets at RM10 each with a purchase of RM50 and above on a single receipt.
In order to provide this water limousine service, the E&O constructed a pier at the hotel, at a cost of RM1.1 million. It also spent RM16 million for dredging works around the Straits Quay marina.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
