Port Klang

There are some 30 club members’ berths attached to the clubhouse, with longitudinal space for half dozen visitors’ boats on the detached pontoons both sides of the river.

The club is the oldest in Malaysia with a rich history. It is the host club to the Raja Muda Selangor International Regatta from Port Klang to Langkawi, held yearly in late November.

Only the club member berths have water and electricity. Refuelling and watering is difficult, but can be arranged with advance notice on the club pontoons.

Currents of 1-3 knots run in the river around mid tide. It’s best to arrive in daylight close to slack water for safer mooring. Contact on VHF Ch. 72 for berthing advice before tying up. Kuala Lumpur is 40 minutes by taxi.

The marina can only be accessed from the south due to the two bridges connecting Pulau Indah to the mainland on the north. Approaching best divert northeast at the first port and starboard markers into the river tucked behind Pulau Indah.

This is remote but practical for emergency pit stops up the Straits or to grab supplies from Kuala Lumpur without enduring the slog up into Port Klang. Good safe holding in 6 metres on mud can be found in the calm anywhere in the channel south of the marina.
