PT Marina Development Indonesia (MDI) and Pelindo have signed a contract to develop Indonesia’s first international-standard, full-service yacht marina.

The marina, located in the Bali Maritime Tourism Hub (BMTH) in Benoa, will accommodate 180 wet berths, including spaces for over 50 superyachts up to 90 metres in length. It will include a modern yacht service area with a travel lift capable of handling up to 200 tons and a high-quality fueling station.

“Indonesia deserves a first-class marina that reflects its status as the new yachting paradise of the world,” says Ulf Backlund, president director of Marina Development Indonesia. “Indonesia’s location, outside of hurricane and typhoon paths, combined with its 17,000 islands, diverse cultures, and year-round favourable weather, makes it an ideal yachting destination. This marina will attract global enthusiasts and provide a base for exploring Indonesia’s natural beauty.”
