Port Takola Yacht Marina & Boatyard is set to expand its Pier G with 25 new berths, made up of a mixture of 15m and 18m berths as well as a 40m superyacht berth. Situated in Thailandā€™s Krabi province, east of Phuket, Port Takola is a 40-minute drive from Krabi International Airport and a relatively recent addition to the countryā€™s marinas.

Port Takola is undergoing an expansion, having had a soft opening in May 2018

Port Takola is undergoing an expansion, having had a soft opening in May 2018

ā€œSince our soft opening in May 2018, we have gradually gained a reputation for serenity, services, year-round shelter, convenience for yacht checking in and out, and being close to Ao Nang, Krabi Town and Krabi International Airport,ā€ said Matthew Na Nagara, Port Takolaā€™s General Manager and Chairman of the Thai Yachting Business Association.

ā€œBoat repair services and superyacht arrivals are other factors behind this expansion. Our boatyard now provides a comprehensive service, so more repair work can be done here. A chandlery is now available onsite, so this makes it more convenient to base a yacht here on long-term basis.

ā€œWeā€™re also receiving more interest from superyachts for short- term and seasonal visits. This is due to more awareness of our capability and the value we can provide in comparison to other nearby destinations.ā€

Pier G will feature a 3m-wide concrete pontoon and Thermowood grooved-surface fingers built by Marinetek. All pedestals will feature two power connections to accommodate air-conditioning, while superyacht pedestals will provide 125-amp three-phase electrical supply.

Port Takola is also offering 30 per cent discounts to yachts berthing for more than a week, as well as long-term berth ownership.
