Ao Po Grand Marina

Thailand’s Premier Superyacht Gateway for Long-Stay Owners & Investors

Ao Po Grand Marina stands at the forefront of Thailand’s luxury yachting scene—an ultra-modern deep-water marina designed for superyachts up to 100+ meters. Located at the entrance of Phang Nga Bay, one of the world’s most iconic cruising grounds, Ao Po has become a preferred home base for yacht owners seeking year-round cruising, seamless services, and access to Thailand’s most beautiful waters.

For investors and long-stay residents, the marina also plays an important role in establishing a lifestyle foundation in Thailand—supporting residency applications, yacht registration pathways, and long-term investment strategies under the Superyacht Owner Program.

Why Ao Po Grand Marina Is Thailand’s Premier Superyacht Hub

1. 24-Hour Deep-Water Access

Ao Po is one of the few marinas in Thailand offering:

  • Zero tide restrictions
  • Minimum depth of 3 meters at all berths
  • 24/7 all-tide access for superyachts

This makes it ideal for larger vessels and captains who require operational flexibility.

2. Berths for Superyachts up to 100m+

The marina accommodates:

  • 300+ berths
  • Dedicated superyacht berths
  • Floating concrete pontoons designed for stability and safety

This infrastructure positions Ao Po as a true superyacht-friendly base in Southeast Asia.

3. Direct Gateway to Phang Nga Bay

Ao Po’s location offers unmatched access to:

  • Phang Nga Bay
  • Phi Phi Islands
  • Similan & Surin Islands
  • Koh Yao Noi & Koh Yao Yai
  • Krabi, Railay, Koh Hong

This makes it one of the best departure points for day trips and multi-day voyages.

4. World-Class Marina Facilities

  • Customs & Immigration support
  • Refuelling dock with high-speed pumps
  • Dry dock & technical services
  • Pro provisioning & chandlery services
  • Restaurants and on-site hospitality
  • Private parking & 24/7 security

For yacht owners, Ao Po offers the complete ecosystem needed for long-term marina residency.

5. Ideal Marina for Long-Stay Thailand Residency

When paired with Thailand’s yacht-related investment pathways, Ao Po serves as:

  • A secure home berth
  • A tax-efficient regional base
  • A support hub for annual compliance and crew management
  • A lifestyle anchor linked to long-stay visas

This aligns with Thai Investment Visa’s Superyacht Owner Investment Program, which allows investors to obtain long-term residency benefits in Thailand with structured investment and compliance support.
