Description

Bass Harbour is the main anchorage for Kuah Town, it is formed between the S coast of Pulau Langkawi and the N coast of Pulau Dayang Bunting, is 7 miles in length with an average breadth of 1.5 miles and a general depth of 5.5 to 7.5m, mud bottom..
The harbour has two main areas to anchor: just west of the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club (RLYC) or in front of the Bella Vista Hotel.

At two hours either side of high tide, it is very handy for provisioning  by dinghy, either directly to Teow Soon Huat supermarket in the NW corner of the bay, or to any suitable location on shore.

If attempting to land dinghy at low tide, it's best to go Jetty Pelancongan, situated halfway between RLYC and Kuah Town. 

This anchorage is only suitable for doing your shopping then moving out if you want to swim or be assured of a good night's sleep.

BEWARE: The holding ground here is poor and your anchor will drag  in SW squalls of over 20 knots that occur frequently during May-Nov.

DANGER: A dangerous unmarked rock lies just beneath the surface  at Lat: 06.15.10'N  Long: 99.44.90'E (SE of P. Selang at end of Bass habour).

Best months for anchoring:  Dec - April.  Not so good: May - Nov.
