Ocean Marina Jomtien on Thailand’s eastern Gulf Coast has been awarded “Best Marina Berth Facilities in Thailand” at the prestigious Robb Report ‘Thailand Best of the Best Yachting Awards’ during the January 2024 Thailand Yacht Show.
With over 450 modern berths and providing safe anchorage for yachts up to 75m, Ocean Marina Jomtien is Southeast Asia’s largest marina and the gateway to yachting in the Gulf of Thailand. Launched in 1989, the marina is home to hundreds of yachts all-year-round and provides full, international standard facilities and services to visiting yachts, building a reputation as one of Asia’s premier marinas and yacht clubs.
Overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, the international standard marina is equipped with outstanding facilities and a team of talented professionals plus a wide range of marine service suppliers onsite, ensuring that guests and boat owners can kick back, relax and embrace the nautical lifestyle at one of Asia’s premier destinations. The exceptional marina facilities provide captains, boat owners and crews with everything they need to ensure a safe, secure and enjoyable stay in the Gulf of Thailand, with over 380 floating berths that can accommodate all types of boats, from day runabouts and stately catamarans to superyachts of up to 75m, as well as an available over 200 dry-berths.
Ocean Marina Jomtien is among a handful of international standard marinas in Thailand and the only one located on the Gulf of Thailand’s east coast, offering a vibrant, inclusive environment where visitors can enjoy a wide range of nautical lifestyle opportunities and leisure activities. Within the complex, there is also a 51-room boutique hotel, restaurant, meetings and seminar facilities and a sports complex. The all-inclusive marina is a second home for the region’s yachting community and a go-to-spot for visiting yachties and affluent visitors.
“The Gulf of Thailand is an all-year-round destination that has steadily become a must visit for superyachts visiting Asia”, reports Captain Charlie Dwyer, co-founder of Asia Pacific Superyachts. “After departing the warm hospitality and 5-star dining and pampering of Koh Samui, it’s on to Pattaya and the Ocean Marina Jomtien. The marina offers close proximity to Bangkok International Airport, reliable suppliers and superyacht maintenance.
Supported by fantastic weather throughout the year, optimal wind conditions and calm, turquoise waters, yachting visitors can enjoy exploring a number of beautiful, largely undeveloped islands just a short boat ride away. The beach town of Pattaya offers magnificent clear waters, white sand beaches and a kaleidoscope of marine wildlife, with many hidden gems right at the doorstep of the marina.
