056 The Boat Lagoon was Phuket's first marina complex. It has been
fully operational since 1994. This circular, 168-berth lagoon was originally a
tidal flat at the head of a shallow, meandering 2-mile creek, Klong Tha Rua. It
is now surrounded by a canal complex of condominiums, a hotel, serviced apartments
and restaurants, shops and offices. Short and long term accommodation is available
overlooking the marina. Services in the lagoon are comparable with marina
services elsewhere in the world: a fuel dock, three travel lifts up to 60 tons,
a large concrete work area and hardstand for up to 80 vessels, dry stack storage
for 20 speedboats, 168 wet berths with power and water, a concrete boat ramp,
hot showers and changing room facilities; and many yacht service companies with
on-site management. All vessel services are quoted on a per-foot basis.

Located at Laem Phrao, east of the bridge at the head of the channel, is The Yacht
Haven Marina, completed in 1997 with 150 berths for vessels up to 60 metres. Yacht
Haven can be accessed from the east on all tides, though deep draft vessels need
to take additional care to follow the channel during lows. A great advantage
of the Yacht Haven is its proximity to Phang Nga Bay,
the major all-year yachting playground for Phuket. Accessibility to the nearby
international airport is an advantage for those wishing to berth yachts here and
fly in for holidays or weekends. Laem Phrao is a safe year-round anchorage
with The Yacht Haven Marina providing berthing for those yachts looking for alongside
facilities. Berthing is available for vessels up to 60 metres on the outer berths
with depths of 4 - 5 meters and the minimum depthin the smaller berths is 2 metres
at LAT. On shore is the Haven Restaurant and Bar, showers, lockers and
toilet facilities. The Yacht Haven also offers fuel, water and provisioning services.
