Benoa Harbor has limited mooring/anchoring options as it is Bali's busy commercial and fishing harbor, with tugs and barges coming and going for dredging and bulkhead upgrades.
Cruisers who have checked in at Benoa recommend anchoring in the harbor on the NE side, by the local boats.
After completing clearance formalities, it is usual to then head for the more popular anchorage at Serangan, just north of Benoa.
Benoa Bali Marina has space for up to 25 vessels on floating docks and it is possible to tie up here to undertake International Clearance procedures if this is your Port of Entry for Indonesia.
Construction has begun on the new Bali Gapura Marina in Benoa Harbour, which will when completed - offer docking, mooring, repair, and other services including a haul-out facility and hard standing.
The project is a joint effort between Marina Development Indonesia (MDI) and PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Pelindo).
The first dock was installed in July 2025 and the developers are hoping to welcome the first boats in November 2025. The development is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2026.
