Desaru Coast in Johor, Malaysia is about to get even more exciting for travelers and boat lovers.

This partnership is a key part of Desaru Coast’s long-term plan to grow its tourism services. By using existing assets like the ferry terminal, Desaru aims to become a major marine destination in Southeast Asia. It will also make sea travel easier between Singapore and Malaysia.
Karina Ridzuan, director at Destination Resorts and Hotels, said that this collaboration shows strong ties between Johor and Singapore. It also reflects confidence in Desaru Coast as a place for investment and tourism.
The goal is to put Desaru Coast on the world map for yachting. With the new marina, the area is ready to welcome boat owners, yacht clubs, and sailing fans from around the globe.
Arthur Tay, CEO of SUTL Enterprise (the group behind ONE°15 Marina), shared his excitement. He said this new location will bring fresh experiences for their growing community of boaters across Asia.
The announcement was made at SYF 2025, and guests also got a sneak peek at the upcoming Ombak Festival 2025. This festival celebrates music, arts, and culture and happens every year at Desaru Coast. Now, with the marina launch, the event promises to be even more special.
Desaru Coast already has well-known resorts like Hard Rock, The Westin, Anantara, and One&Only. With the addition of luxury marine services, it’s shaping up to be the ultimate weekend getaway.
This partnership not only improves travel options but also strengthens the yachting scene in the region. It’s a big step for marine tourism in Malaysia
