Full Description & Details
Port Takola Marina Krabi is a purpose-built yachting facility located on the banks of the Takhola River in Krabi Province, southern Thailand. It sits amid dense mangroves, with Phang Nga Bay to the west and the Trang Sea to the south, roughly a 40-minute drive from Krabi International Airport. The marina is a short boat ride from the Phi Phi Islands and Ao Nang Beach, making it a practical base for exploring the Andaman Sea. The setting is sheltered by the river and mangroves, offering a calm, all-season haven rather than an open-coast anchorage.
The marina's first phase provides 70 wet berths for yachts up to 45 meters LOA, plus 20 moorings with 2-ton concrete blocks for vessels up to 18 meters. The minimum depth is 3 meters, and the channel is well-marked for safe entry from the Andaman Sea. Entry and exit are monitored to keep traffic orderly. Each berth includes fresh water, electricity (32 and 64 amp single phase, 125 amp three phase), a digital water meter, and dock assistance. A fuel dock supplies Gasohol 95 and diesel, and a boatyard offers a 38-ton lift for haul-outs and repairs.
Onshore facilities include 24-hour security with CCTV, a cafe with wifi, showers and toilets, a trolley service, car transfer, and ample parking. A weather station provides real-time updates for planning passages. The marina is open year-round, and the river location means tidal constraints are minimal. Expansion is planned, with a final design of 280 berths featuring full-length fingers and extra-wide concourses, but the current 70-berth phase is fully operational for visiting yachts.
How to get there
Approaching from the Andaman Sea, the marina's channel is well-marked, and entry is possible year-round regardless of tide. The minimum depth in the marina is 3 meters, so plan your approach accordingly for deeper-draft vessels. The entry and exit are monitored to maintain orderly traffic flow, so hail the marina on VHF before entering to confirm berth availability and receive docking instructions.
By land, the marina is about 40 minutes by car from Krabi International Airport, with taxis and transfers readily available. The nearest town is Sai Thai, where the marina is located, and Ao Nang Beach is a short boat ride away. There are no specific customs or immigration formalities at the marina itself; standard Thai entry procedures apply for international arrivals, so clear in at a designated port of entry before proceeding to the marina.
