Update 16 July 2013
The public marina is still closed, but we were welcome to leave our dinghy there when we went ashore, and have access to the showers as well as get water and drop garbage. No fee for any of those services. With the limited access and a gate guard, it is more secure than the beach landing. That fantastic Indian restaurant is still on the premises!

The Labuan Public Marina is undergoing a major redevelopment which will temporarily affect its services.
Works officially commenced on 1 September 2011, at which time the marina was closed to access for an indeterminate period. Boats already tied up were allowed to remain, but arriving boats should contact the helpful staff at the marina (details as below) to ascertain whether they can access the marina, and what services are available eg. pontoon, freshwater and/or electricity.
The scheduled completion date is December 2012.
It might still be possible to take dinghies into the marina and leave them there – a more secure option than others if people aren’t going to use the water taxi from their boat if they anchor in the harbour.
Readers familiar with the Labuan Marina should note that the BK Maya Marina restaurant, serving great Indian food located at the Marina building, will remain open and a very good meal can be had there at a reasonable price under the care of the generous and welcoming hosts, Balwinder and Mukah Kaur.
