Marina Bander Al Rowdha (Muscat) : Profile

Clearance

Contact marina on Channel 16. The marina office will contact the relevant officials for clearance.

Docking

Visiting yachts are charged according to their LOA (not as previously reported on Noonsite). However, as the marina is nearly full with yearly berth holders, if a yacht is much smaller than the long term berth available it may be necessary to pay for the size of the berth and not of the yacht, if one wants to make sure that this berth would be guranteed. Although the marina is almost full marina manager Bob Looker bob@marinaoman.com will always ensure visitors can have a berth.

There is water and electricity to all berths in the marina. Good restaurant and bar, and communication facilities exist as well.
