Desaru Coast, the premier coastal destination in Johor, Malaysia, announced an exciting new strategic partnership with ONE°15 Marina. The collaboration will see ONE°15 Marina Desaru Coast operate wet and dry berths at the Desaru Coast Ferry Terminal and the introduction of a suite of sailing experiences for guests at the destination.

The partnership is a strategic step in Desaru Coast’s long-term plan to enhance its tourism offerings and to optimise its key infrastructure assets like the ferry terminal. By enabling seamless maritime access and offering new experiences, Desaru Coast aims to reinforce its position as a vibrant lifestyle destination for both leisure travellers as well as the yachting community in the region.

Expanding Its Maritime Presence

For those arriving by sea, Desaru Coast is more than just a stopover—it’s a vibrant beachfront resort destination along Johor’s southeastern coast. Home to acclaimed resorts, award-winning golf courses, tranquil wellness retreats, and a dynamic calendar of lifestyle events, the destination offers a refined blend of leisure, adventure, and Malaysian culture.

For guests staying at Desaru Coast, the sailing experiences curated by ONE°15 Marina including sailing events and private yacht charters, open up a world of sea-bound activities to enrich their stay.

The announcement was made at the Desaru Coast booth on the second day of SYF 2025, attended by partners and industry stakeholders. The event also served as a preview for Ombak Festival 2025, Desaru Coast’s marquee cultural and lifestyle event, set to return this September.

As the yachting and marine leisure sector continues to grow across Southeast Asia, Desaru Coast’s collaboration with ONE°15 Marina signals a commitment to innovation, access, and guest-centric development.

This partnership marks a significant step in enhancing connectivity between Singapore and Johor, while unlocking new premium lifestyle and tourism offerings. It also reflects a long-term commitment to community development through access to maritime education and opportunities for local talent.
