Ports and Popular Stops

Marinas & Yacht Clubs

  • The Subic Bay Yacht Club operates a resort and marina.  Reported (Winter 2013) to be undergoing some kind of management or financial distress but was open for business.
  • Watercraft Ventures Corporation operates a boat yard and small marina frequented by cruisers. Yard is equipped with a Marine Travelift. Contact Sanky Perez (0917) 565 3405 or [email protected]
  • The entrance to the basin containing the Subic Bay Yacht Club and Watercraft Ventures marinas is at 14 49.21N 120 17.47E. Watercraft reported their depth to be generally 3.3 meters (11 feet). Cruiser reports less at the fuel dock.

Anchorages

  • Port Binanga, on the east shore just outside the harbor proper. Well protected. Sandy bottom shoals slowly to the E and N.
  • Gaviota Rock, Barrio Barretto, 014 50.61N 120 15.88E Good anchoring in rocky bottom E and W of Gaviota Rock, which has an abandoned castle upon it. During Blue Rock Bar hours the floating bar makes a convenient dinghy dock. However that end of Bo. Barretto lacks any useful cruiser services other than restaurants, but it a short ride to central Barretto.
  • Arizona Bar, Barrio Barretto. Moorings available. Good access to the retail district of Bo. Barretto. Jeepneys to Olongapo 12PHP 15 minutes. Anchoring in the vicinity is reported to be poor as the soft sand bottom is steep-to. 0.85nm 075d from Gaviota Rock (above).
