COVID-19: OPEN PORT
- See Biosecurity for details of the latest yachting protocol.
Description:
Sebana Cove Marina is situated eight kms (five miles) up the Santi River, entrance opposite the eastern tip of Singapore Island. The initial approach from the Johor Strait should be carefully planned by skippers of deep draft vessels, as depths can drop to two meters in places.
Sebana Cove is a beautiful and remote location, and the marina and resort here are slowly being renovated (see Related User Comments).
There is no ATM or shop here and the local town, a taxi/shuttle away, only has limited provisions. If you have already provisioned the boat and are looking for somewhere to relax, it’s a good choice.
Position: 01° 24.02’N, 104° 06.43’E (river entrance)
Position: 01° 24.85’N, 104° 09.68’E (marina entrance)
Clearance
Coronavirus – March 2020: The state of Sarawak (Malaysia Borneo) have implemented new entry measures in response to novel coronavirus (COVID-19). It’s likely other Malaysian states will follow suit. See Biosecurity for more details.
Reports of the marina no longer acting as a Port of Entry appear to be unfounded. Cruisers who cleared into Malaysia at Sebana Cove in June 2019 reported that the whole process was handled in 15 minutes upon arrival as there is now an Immigration building within the complex.
For full details on clearance into and out of Malaysia see Formalities.

Anchoring:
There is a good, sheltered anchorage at the mouth of the Santi river and another close to the marina, but keep clear of the sandy bay dug into the bank of the river on the same side as the resort. Do not anchor in front of this as a small working ship comes there every day to load up.
While isolated – being 6nms inland in Sungai/Sungai Sebina, this is a quiet and peaceful place but not the most convenient for repairs or provisions.
Mooring:
The Marina at Sebana Cove Resort welcomes liveaboards. Facilities at the resort and shore-side have been improved and updated with accommodation on site and a golf course nearby.
The resort township provides ease of connectivity to Singapore within 30 minutes via the Tg. Belungkor-Changi Point ferry terminal.
