Ao Po Grand Marina
8° 4.0′ N · 98° 26.8′ E
An all-tide marina inside a rock breakwater on Phuket's north-east coast, at the doorstep of Phang Nga Bay. It is the Phuket base of The Moorings and Sunsail and home to many yachting businesses.
Practical
About 230 berths plus deep-water berths for up to 25 superyachts (SEAP; Noonsite lists 300 berths and yachts up to 100 m). Minimum 3 m inside, 7 m on the seaward side of the outer docks at chart datum; open 24 hours with no tide restrictions. VHF 69 (Noonsite: 8am to midnight). Shore power up to 400 A; dock water is filtered, but a cruiser comment says it is not potable. Deep-water fuel dock. Haul-out: 47 t and 80 t Roodberg trailer lifts for boats up to 100 ft; hardstand for 60-80 boats; limited repair, small chandlery, restaurants and bars. Office 8am-5pm daily; late arrivals by appointment; phone +66 76 336200, info@aopograndmarina.com. Approach from the south or east and avoid Hin Klang, an unmarked acre of rock awash on the northern approach; the entrance is behind the breakwater on the south-east side. From the east, hold 260 degrees in and 80 degrees out to miss the coral heads off Naka Yai's north reef. The marina's own position is 08 04.075 N, 98 26.739 E.
