SYA member Bali Gapura Marina has opened as Indonesia’s new superyacht gateway, with 75 berths for captains and owners exploring the Indonesian archipelago.

The marina has commenced operations with 75 berths as the first phase of its 180-berth masterplan, including 27 dedicated superyacht berths accommodating vessels of up to 200 feet. Developed to support guest embarkation, crew changes, vessel turnarounds and extended stays, the marina combines practical infrastructure with services designed for today’s cruising yachts.

A dedicated CIQP Welcome Station, designed by 2M Associates, brings Customs, Immigration, Quarantine and Port Clearance together in one location. The contemporary tropical pavilion serves as an efficient arrival point for captains, crew, and guests.

Modern berth pedestals provide shore power and fresh water, while fuel supply, 24/7 dockhand assistance and round-the-clock security surveillance support day-to-day marina operations. Vessels staying five nights or longer receive complimentary CIQP handling.

Seaplane links, beach club and island day trips

From October 2026, Fly Odisi will operate direct seaplane services using the De Havilland Twin Otter, the internationally recognised benchmark for commercial seaplane operations. Available in 19-seat and 12-seat VIP configurations, the service will connect Bali Gapura Marina with selected destinations across Indonesia.

Beyond the marina, guests receive complimentary transfers to Taman Bhagawan Beach Club in Nusa Dua. Set within traditional Balinese architecture, the private white-sand beach offers swimming pools, SEABOB, watersports, and calm waters where children can learn to surf.

Just 10 nautical miles away, Lago Bali is an easy 45-minute cruise. The barefoot luxury destination offers seaview dining, a floating pontoon bar, surfing, paddleboarding and swimming, making it an ideal day trip for owners and guests seeking a relaxed island experience.

Life alongside the dock

To simplify life alongside the dock, as of September 2026, captains can order provisions through a dedicated B2B online platform with complimentary yacht delivery from selected Bali suppliers. A curated onboard culinary service, laundry and concierge services are also available, while the existing monthly Captains’ Barbecue brings together captains, owners and marina tenants to exchange local cruising knowledge.

As Indonesia continues to develop its network of superyacht destinations, Bali Gapura Marina marks an important new waypoint, strengthening the cruising route across the archipelago while giving captains and owners another reason to keep Indonesia on their itinerary.
