The
Yacht Haven Marina is located at Laem Phrao at
the northern end of Phuket in the channel between Phuket
and the mainland.
At the western
end of the channel the main north/south
road crosses over the Sarasin bridge which has
approximately 5 meters of clearance at high
tide.
Fishing vessels and large power
craft regularly pass this way, but this route
is unsuitable for yachts with fixed masts. Additionally,
as the sand bar moves contantly, it is recommended that
this route not be used without local
knowledge.
Located to
the east of the bridge at the head of the
channel is the Yacht Haven Marina. Completed in 1997 the
marina boasts 150 berths for vessels up to 50m in length
and is one of only 2 marinas currently in operation in
Phuket.
The Yacht Haven can
be accessed from the west on all tides though
deep drafted vessels need to take care and keep to the
channel during low tides. Please refer to
approaches.
