Port Klang - Yacht Clubs
The Royal Selangor Yacht Club is the oldest in Malaysia with a rich history. It is the host club for the Raja Muda Selangor International Regatta from Port Klang to Langkawi, held annually in late November.
The Club welcomes visitors but as there are a limited number of berths available for visitors, booking ahead of arrival is recommended. Call on VHF Channel 72 for berthing advice prior to arrival.

Message in from Deb Bot of SV Matilda (5 June 2018)
The message is as follows:
While sailing along heading towards Port Klang, we took note of a serious hazard approx 3 nautical miles offshore. The position is 03 38.8705N, 100 54.9071E where there are some concrete & steel rotting pylons. They have no lights on them and wouldn’t do any of us any good if we ran into them.
We could also see some further in the distance. We did notice on the chart that in this particular location was a Fish Farm symbol – wondering if the fish farm has decayed and this is all that’s left now? The same fish farm symbol is also on the ones further south – take care.
This is good news Jeffrey – thank you for letting us know. If you have visited recently, please help us update this port page with more accurate information. E-mail me with updates – editor@noonsite.com – Thankyou.
The location information on this page is inaccurate and out of date and needs to be modified. See the press release below from the Royal Selangor Yacht Club:
Sailing yachts have long had to tackle an unofficial obstacle course while sailing close to the Royal Selangor Yacht Club, in the form of floating debris. The good news is that this is no longer the case.
Local authorities in the State of Selangor, who are sponsors of the Raja Muda Selangor International Regatta, have spent millions of Malaysian Ringgit in an attempt to clean up the 110-km long Klang River.
Barriers have been installed at strategic points to gather the rubbish that floats down from Kuala Lumpur and beyond. This has led to a marked difference in the condition of the water downstream of the last boom.
“Having clean waters for yacht racing can be a challenge, as evidenced here and in the recent Rio Olympics. We would like to thank the state authorities for the efforts taken to address the issue.
The shorelines around the RSYC are no longer extensively rubbish-strewn and areas of the river surrounding the club now show a healthier colour,” said Royal Selangor Yacht Club Commodore Jeff Harris.
Nobody will claim that the Klang river is pristine – no leaping salmon so far! – but the difference since February 2016 is significant. RSYC intends to maintain close contact with the contractor employed to operate the scheme to ensure that high standards are maintained, so the club members and regatta visitors can enjoy sailing in a healthier environment.
