ANCHORING AT KOH ROI

19 miles from Yacht haven

08°11.540N, 98°36.639E

You can find anchorage at Koh Roi in a small southwest facing bay with a rocky, off-lying islet on the north side. The bay is deep until close in. Vessels can anchor in about 8-12 metres on a muddy bottom with some rock.

Several hundred metres to the west the water is generally shallow and you should approach close to the island. This is a great anchorage in the northeast season and reasonable in the southwest season.

There are two beaches and a large, attractive hong. You can enter the hong on foot at all but high tide from the west beach. Fringing coral prevents access to either beach at low tide. This island marks the limit of VHF radio communication with Phuket, before Koh Yao Noi masks it.

Rocks in the channel

The rock just off the southern point of Koh Roi is a danger to deep draft vessels. Beware.
