Anchoring:
It is no longer possible to take your yacht right up into Bandar Seri Begawan. The Marine Department does not permit yachts to anchor upstream of the Royal Brunei Yacht Club Kota Batu premises.
There is a protected anchorage in front of the yacht club, just up river from the Temburong Bridge (Vertical Clearance 25m). When anchoring at RBYC (Kota Batu) be sure to stay to the side, out of the central navigation channel.
Anchor fore and aft (to keep clear of the channel) just NE of the starboard lateral mark, close to the shore. The holding, in mud can be uncertain due to the 2kn current. This position is just 20-50 meters from the RBYC Club's floating jetty where you can moor your dinghy. Use anchor lights at night.
You can hail a taxi to get ashore, although it's advisable to leave someone on board at all times.
The RBYC has its main clubhouse at Muara (at 04°53.85'N, 114°59.26'S). Here there is a dinghy dock, showers, restaurant and WiFi.
Intrepid Marine has established a new anchorage and support service at Mangrove Paradise Resort on the Brunei River. This is just 10 minutes by tender from the RBYC (Kota Batu).
