Royal Phuket Marina to Open New Dry Stack Boat Storage

The Royal Phuket Marina is establishing a fully covered dry boat storage facility that will complement the marina's existing state-of-the-art dry stack facilities.

The ‘boat garage’ as it is called, will have space for approximately 30-35 vessels of up to 33-feet in length. Storage is weather-proof and the service includes hauling boats in and out of the water, as well as cleaning and maintenance.

Opening on 1 October 2011, the facility has already taken advance bookings for a number of top of the range boats, such as Rivas and Wally.

“There is really nothing like it in Asia for boats of up to 33-feet,” said Marina Manager, Guillaume Chaillot. “The latest high-tech facilities will allow boats to always be available and ready to go at just 30 minutes' notice. It is also designed for ‘true boat lovers’ who want to keep their vessels spanking new.”

Located on the island’s eastern seaboard, just minutes from Phuket Town and overlooking scenic Phang Nga Bay, the dry dock is for the convenience of both residents and other boat owners in Phuket, as well as visiting yachts.

Royal Phuket Marina's world-class facilities have earned it the prestigious '5 Golden Anchor Award' from the British Yacht Harbour Association.
