Located in the resort city of Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa province, Ana Marina Nha Trang was recently granted the international port code VNANA, officially designating it as Vietnam’s first international marina.

Dang Bao Hieu, chairman of Focus Travel Group, welcomed this milestone, noting it reflects the potential for Khanh Hoa to emerge as a premier destination for superyachts in Asia.

This development is in line with Vietnam’s broader efforts to implement administrative reforms and foster private sector growth, Hieu said.

According to the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the superyacht’s arrival, just over a week after the marina received its international designation, underscores the city’s strong potential for developing high-end cruise tourism.

Spanning 89 hectares, with 68 hectares of water surface, Ana Marina Nha Trang is equipped with a comprehensive array of facilities. These include a commercial area for yachts, service zones, technical infrastructure, piers and floating docks, a boat maintenance area, dedicated waterway channels, breakwaters, and various leisure and entertainment complexes.

The marina boasts the capacity to accommodate 110 yachts, with a maximum potential of 220. Strategically located, it enables seamless maritime connections between Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia, offering easy access to Hong Kong (China), Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and other Vietnamese ports.

Vietnam sees opportunities to become regional cruise tourism hub

With a coastline of 3,260 kilometres, over 4,000 large and small islands, many beautiful bays and a deep-water port system suitable for large ships, Vietnam has great potential to develop cruise tourism.
