What’s Included in Kura Kura Marina Berthing Fees?
If you are comparing moorage options in Bali, here is the short answer to what is included in Kura Kura Marina berthing fees: the base rate typically covers your berth space, mooring infrastructure, 24-hour marina security, access to waste disposal, and use of general marina facilities, while shore power and potable water are usually metered and billed separately, and services such as fuel, provisioning, and customs clearance agency are always extras. As of 2026, Kura Kura Marina on Serangan Island is part of a phased Special Economic Zone development, so the exact inclusions can change as new facilities come online — always confirm the current package before you commit. This guide breaks down what the base fee normally covers, what gets metered, and which surcharges catch visiting captains off guard.
A note on who we are: this is an independent information and marine services resource covering the Kura Kura Bali development — we are not the official site of the Kura Kura Bali developer. Fee structures described here are indicative, based on how the marina and comparable Bali facilities structure their charges, and should be verified directly at the time of booking.
What Is Included in Kura Kura Marina Berthing Fees?
Berthing fees at Kura Kura Marina, as at most Indonesian marinas, are quoted as a base rate calculated on your vessel’s length overall (LOA), usually per day for short stays and per month for longer contracts. That base rate is essentially paying for three things: the physical berth, the safety of the environment around it, and access to the marina’s shared infrastructure.
In practical terms, a standard berthing contract typically covers:
- Berth space and mooring infrastructure — the pontoon or dock space itself, cleats, and mooring points appropriate to your LOA and beam.
- 24-hour security — gated access, CCTV coverage, and marina staff presence, which matters in a location like Serangan where the marina sits inside a controlled development zone.
- General waste disposal — access to bins and basic garbage handling for normal liveaboard or crew waste.
- Use of common facilities — walkways, dock carts where available, and shared shore-side areas that are part of the marina precinct.
- WiFi in common areas — most marinas in Bali include shared-area WiFi in the base fee; dedicated high-bandwidth connections to your berth are usually a paid upgrade.

Do Berthing Fees Include Electricity and Water?
This is the single most common question we get, so here is the direct answer: usually not as unlimited inclusions. At Kura Kura Marina and at comparable facilities around Benoa and Serangan, shore power is typically metered per kilowatt-hour and billed on top of the base berthing fee. Potable water is handled one of two ways — either metered per cubic metre, or included as a modest allowance with overage billed separately. Air-conditioned motor yachts running shore power around the clock in Bali’s tropical climate can accumulate an electricity bill that rivals the berthing fee itself, so budget for it explicitly rather than treating it as a rounding error.
Two related points worth checking when you book:
- Shore power capacity. Confirm the amperage and connector type available at your assigned berth. Larger vessels needing three-phase supply should verify availability in advance, especially while the marina is still building out in phases.
- Water quality. Ask whether dock water is potable or utility-grade. Many crews in Bali still prefer to run watermakers offshore or buy drinking water separately, and provisioning services can deliver bottled supply to the dock.
Inclusions vs Extras: Comparison Table
The table below summarises how charges are typically structured. Treat it as a checklist for your booking conversation — anything in the right-hand column is a line item you should price before arrival.
| Item | Typically in Base Fee | Typically an Extra |
|---|---|---|
| Berth space and mooring points | Yes | — |
| 24-hour security and CCTV | Yes | — |
| General waste disposal | Yes | — |
| WiFi (common areas) | Yes | Dedicated berth-side connection |
| Shore power (electricity) | Connection point only | Metered usage per kWh |
| Potable water | Sometimes a small allowance | Metered usage or delivery |
| Waste pump-out (black/grey water) | Rarely | Per-service charge |
| Tender and dinghy storage | Varies by contract | Often billed for dedicated space |
| Fuel (dock or bunkering) | No | Market price plus service |
| Customs, immigration, and clearance agency | No | Agency fees per formality |
| Provisioning and deliveries | No | Per order |
| Hull cleaning, diving, technical work | No | Quoted per job |
If you are running the numbers for a season in Bali, the realistic budget is the base berthing rate plus metered utilities plus whichever services your vessel actually consumes — not the headline rate alone.
What Are the Typical Surcharges Beyond the Berth?
Customs and clearance agency
Foreign-flagged yachts entering Indonesia deal with customs, immigration, quarantine, and harbourmaster formalities. These are never part of a berthing fee anywhere in Indonesia — they are handled by a licensed agent for a separate fee that varies with vessel size, flag, and the formalities required. Requirements and costs change, so verify the current process with your agent before arrival rather than relying on figures from older cruising guides.
Fuel
Serangan’s existing marina infrastructure includes fuel dock capability, which is one of the practical draws of the location. Fuel is always charged at prevailing market prices plus any service or delivery component, and larger bunkering requests should be arranged in advance.
Provisioning and crew logistics
Provisioning, laundry, crew transport, and technical trades all sit outside the berthing fee. The upside of Kura Kura Marina’s location is proximity: Serangan connects by causeway to Denpasar, so supplies and contractors reach the dock faster than at more remote Indonesian anchorages. Our marine services page covers the support available to visiting vessels, from routine maintenance coordination to yacht agency assistance across Indonesian waters.
Tender storage and ancillary space
Small tenders kept on davits or on deck cost nothing extra. Dedicated dinghy dock space, dry storage ashore, or trailer parking is usually a separate line item — worth clarifying if you run a substantial tender or plan to leave one behind between passages.
How the SEZ Development Affects What You Get
Kura Kura Bali received Special Economic Zone designation in 2023, and the marina is being developed in stages as part of that master plan for Serangan Island. For berth holders, this cuts both ways. The near-term reality is that some facilities you would expect at a mature international marina — full-service yard capability, extensive shore-side amenities — are arriving in phases rather than all at once. The medium-term upside is that the SEZ framework is explicitly designed to make Bali a more capable yachting gateway, alongside the established Benoa Marina nearby, and inclusions tend to expand as each phase opens.
The practical takeaway: a berthing quote from 2024 or 2025 may not describe what is included today, and today’s package may improve again within the same contract year. Confirm inclusions in writing, per 2026 conditions, at the time you book.
How to Confirm What Your Berthing Fee Covers
Before signing any berthing agreement in Bali, get written answers to these five questions:
- Is shore power metered, and at what rate per kWh? What amperage is available at my berth?
- Is water included, allowanced, or metered — and is it potable?
- What waste services are included, and is pump-out available on site or by arrangement?
- Are there separate charges for tender storage, liveaboard status, or additional crew?
- What notice and pricing apply to fuel, provisioning, and agency services?
If you want help getting those answers — or a berth secured before you arrive — our berth booking service handles the enquiry, negotiation, and paperwork on your behalf.
