International Borders Are Now Open! - Ocean Marina Yacht Club

International Borders Open

Do you have a boat somewhere and want to bring her to Thailand?

Late last year, the center for Covid-19 situation administration has agreed to allow pleasure yachts to once again enter the Kingdom of Thailand, with 2 anchorages approved. These are Ao Por, off Phuket, and a position about ¼ nautical mile off Ocean Marina. Since the rules were approved, 3 yachts entered The Gulf of Thailand, through Ocean Marina.

The vessel & crew must apply in advance to enter the kingdom through a recognised Thai shipping agent. All crew must have a Certificate of Entry (COE), medical certificate, and health insurance for at least 100,000 US dollars covering Covid-19, and all crew must report their temperature twice daily and undergo 3 separate tests for Covid-19.
Vessels must anchor at one of two designated anchorage spots.

In the Gulf of Thailand, within 500 metres of position 12°49'24"N 100°54'06" E. Approximately 0.25 nautical miles to the southwest of the entrance to Ocean Marina in Pattaya.
In the Andaman Sea, within 500 metres of position 08°01'30"N 98°29'00" E. Approximately 1.30 nautical miles to the east of the island of Ko Nakha Noi.

If you would like to move your boat to Ocean Marina, please contact Mr Scott Finsten at 085.248.3216, the Harbour Master at Ocean Marina for more details. There are a number of requirements needed before you leave, so please let us help you.

Islands Open Again

We are relieved to inform everyone, that the local islands are open again, after the recent restrictions.

Actually, there has never been a better time to visit, and now is the time to get out on the boat. Islands that have normally been full of tourists and previously thought the last place to visit are now the “go-to” islands.

Koh Sak is just off Koh Larn, and between Koh Larn and Pattaya. The islands have some amazing coral and white sand beaches. Best anchorage is at the northeastern corner, and be careful of anchoring near the coral. With no tourists, boat owners are finding they are the only ones there. Only a bit over 9nm from Ocean Marina, this is truly a beautiful spot.
Koh Larn is a similar story to Koh Sak, but in addition to the white sand beaches, and the crystal clear water, you also have restaurants, so it is a nice alternative to eating on the boat.

Obviously, the favorites are all open too, but I wanted to share with you these 2 gems, as they have never been like this before, and in such amazingly beautiful condition.
