Royal Phuket Marina expands capacity
Testament to Phuket’s rising prominence as an international yachting destination, Royal Phuket Marina (RPM) is doubling capacity in response to overwhelming demand for moorings.
Current berthing for 150 vessels of up to 35 metres – including 50 ‘dry’ berths for vessels up to 40 metres – is now stretched to capacity, running at 120 percent even through low season, according management reports.
Therefore extensive new moorings accommodating an additional 100 berths are now being developed in preparation for the coming high season.
Commenting on the growing reputation, Erwin Bamps, COO of Majesty Yachts, said; “We are convinced that Southeast Asia will be competing directly with the traditional cruising grounds of the West in the very near future.”
