Senibong Cove Marina is a great place to have your boat in Malaysia. Balan and his entire staff go out of their way to help all the yachties. We took several short trips from here and were never worried about leaving the boat. Very reasonable rates. Taxi to the nearest mall and supermarket (Aeon) only about US$2 each way. Laundries near Aeon or do it yourself for US$1.50/14kg washing and US$1 dryer.

Ganesh anchored near the Causeway for 3 weeks. Convenient to shops and great Vietnamese restaurant within sight of dingy. But cannot leave dingy out of your sight.

Hi, Peter Wong Nice to have “Dreamer” Lagoon 560 in Senibong Cove Marina.
Thanks for the compliments.

I checked into Senibong Cove Marina on arrival to Malaysia, and they were extremely helpful in making my arrival smooth. It is a nice small marina in a new development, in good condition and convenient to Singapore. To clear into Malaysia I first needed to take a taxi to the Harbour Master (Jabatan Laut) on the waterfront to the West of the causeway near Danga Bay.

They were closed (for lunch?) until 2 pm, but actual processing only took a minute. For immigration, I went to the office at the second floor of The Zon ferry terminal on the East side of the causeway. I was also instructed to visit customs at The Zon ferry terminal, but they told me they were not interested in incoming vessels, only outgoing.

The clearance information for the Johor Straits has changed a little in the last few years. As we understand it, the ports of entry now are Pengileh (east side), Puteri Harbour Marina (west side), and presumably still Johor Bahru itself, although we have been over the causeway several times now and have never seen any yachts at anchor near there.

There is a large land reclamation scheme going on in that area and it may not now be possible to anchor or to get ashore (we haven’t sailed all the way to the causeway so don’t have definite knowledge about it).

Senibong Cove Marina, Malaysia.

We have found Senibong Cove Marina very good, the management is extremely helpful and the security is excellent. It is a new marina within a housing development so no shops on the premises, but a major shopping centre within a 5-minute taxi ride. Just about everything is available within a 10 minutes radius.

The marina provides 2 shuttle services a day.

Senibing cove marina is now open and fully functional. They can if you wish to do your paperwork for you. The access is quite straight forward and the manager Greg is very helpful. There is no wifi but Inet access is available at the office. The only disadvantage is the access to local shops. This requires a taxi ride or a 20 min walk.
