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.
