News: Philippines’ yacht clubs and marinas

(read the full article on: http://www.europayachts.net/philippines-yacht-clubs-and-marinas/)

While sailing in the Philippines you might need to visit the nearest yacht club, marina, or sailing club for refuelling, resupplying or just taking a break. Knowing that the Philippines comprises 7017 islands, yacht clubs and marinas are still in limited number and far apart.

Until the realization of big marina projects planned for the next few years, yacht clubs, marinas and sailing clubs already operating around the Philippines offer various services and activities to the visiting yachts such as short or long stay berthing, mooring, boat launching ramps, fresh water, fuel etc…

In order to help you prepare your sailing cruises, Europa Yachts Philippines keeps an updated list of the operating yachts clubs, marinas and sailing clubs around the Philippines and the services they offer. We would like to share this useful information with you and will keep you informed about any update on new marina projects or services offered to help you enjoy sailing around the Philippines!
