The Pinetree Marina Puteri Harbour in Johor was officially launched recently.
Johor Menteri Besar of Johor, Dato’ Onn Hafiz Ghazi was on hand to officiate the ceremony.
Also present was the state exco for Tourism, Unity and Heritage, YB Raven Kumar Krishnasamy, Datuk Pandak Ahmad, state assemblyman for Kota Iskandar and Ong Yoong Nyock, Group Managing Director of Tiong Nam Logistics Holdings Bhd.
This significant event marks a new chapter in luxury hospitality and marina services within the southern region of Malaysia.
The grand launch event showcased a series of captivating highlights, including a ceremonial balloon release, the symbolic release of 162 red groupers into the marina waters and an exhilarating jet ski demonstration.
Senior General Manager of Group Hotel & Hospitality, Johnny Lau, shared his excitement about the marina’s transformation, stating, “Our vision is to establish this marina as a premier destination that will not only enhance the boating experience but also contribute to the growth and vibrancy of Iskandar Puteri. Its prime location offers seamless access to key Southeast Asian maritime corridors, making it an ideal hub for boaters traveling from Phuket, Langkawi, Pangkor Island, Kota Kinabalu and Singapore.”
Since taking stewardship of the marina in April, Tiong Nam Hospitality Group has undertaken a comprehensive revitalization, blending sleek, modern design with upgraded facilities to elevate the docking experience to premium standards. Nestled along the scenic Straits of Johor, Pinetree Marina now offers 76 berths in its public marina, catering to a diverse range of vessels.
As part of its active engagement with the regional boating community, Pinetree Marina recently hosted over 30 boats participating in the annual Sail Malaysia rally, a journey from Johor to Rebak Island Resort & Marina in Langkawi.
This prestigious event highlights Pinetree Marina’s role as a key stopover for international boating enthusiasts, offering a welcoming haven equipped with all the necessary facilities for both short and extended stays.
To ensure comfort and convenience for boaters and visitors alike, the marina provides an array of practical and leisure facilities.
These include a fuel dock, buggy service, metered power supply (up to three-phase 425Amp), 24-hour security with CCTV surveillance, gated marina access and Wi-Fi connectivity. Visitors can also enjoy shower and toilet facilities, a laundry room, recreational amenities such as a swimming pool and gym and a convenient shuttle service.
Complementing the marina, Pinetree Resort boasts 107 contemporary serviced apartments housed in a 25-story building. Each unit is thoughtfully designed with a fully equipped kitchenette, laundry room and Internet TV to provide a home-away-from-home experience.
Looking ahead, plans are already in motion to expand Pinetree’s Private Marina, further reinforcing its position as a top-tier destination for boating and leisure activities.
