FORMER LUMUT INTERNATIONAL YACHT CLUB

305 miles from Singapore

FORMER LUMUT INTERNATIONAL YACHT CLUB 4°14.174N, 100°38.418E

The Lumut International Yacht Club (LIYC) finally closed for business in February 2016. It’s still safe to anchor off the old marina site in 4-6 metres however no facilities are currently available ashore.

For larger quantities of diesel than Marina Island Pangkor can offer, proceed three miles further up the river and turn right before the bridge. A 30-metre fuel tug is often tied up on portside at 4°15.987N, 100°39.823E.

Pandemic impact

The current edition was published just a few months before the Covid-19 pandemic started to bite. We have not attempted to update this online version (or the new ebook version) as some situations change rapidly, while others are subject to unverifiable rumour.

So, if you are cruising now, please verify information before setting out for your destination and please understand that amenities ashore may be less than posted here or in the book. As 'compensation', you'll find many islands and beaches in the kind of pristine condition not seen for many years in the more developed tourist destinations.
