Bali Gapura Marina Expands Indonesia’s Luxury Maritime Gateway

Bali Gapura Marina has marked another milestone in its development as Indonesia’s first international superyacht gateway with the inauguration of its new Welcome Station and Dock C.

Held on 16 July 2026, the occasion also saw the launch of the Bali Gapura Marina Ocean Challenge 2026 and a series of strategic partnerships aimed at strengthening Bali’s position on the global luxury yachting map.

The new Welcome Station serves as the first point of arrival for international yacht owners and guests, bringing together Customs, Immigration, Quarantine and Port Clearance (CIQP) services with premium hospitality and streamlined arrival procedures. Designed and built by 2M Associate, the facility reflects the marina’s vision of combining efficient infrastructure with a more seamless guest experience.

Among the event’s key announcements was a new partnership with Fly Odisi, making Bali Gapura Marina its official seaplane berthing location and passenger embarkation and disembarkation hub. The collaboration creates an integrated air-and-sea gateway, connecting travellers with superyachts and destinations across Indonesia.

Further partnerships with Pacific High Group and Luxe Horizon, SEABOB, Vedanta, Vivre and Lago Resort Nusa Lembongan will expand the marina’s offering through bespoke travel experiences, marine recreation, yacht charters, culinary services and curated island escapes.

The inauguration culminated in the Bali Gapura Marina Ocean Challenge, a flotilla sailing from the marina to Lago Resort, Nusa Lembongan. Against Bali’s coastline, the experience showcased how yachting, hospitality and island exploration can come together, offering a glimpse of the island’s evolving role in Southeast Asia’s luxury maritime landscape.
