A representative from Focus Travel Trading and Tourism Co., Ltd., the developer of the Ana Marina Nha Trang Yacht Harbor, announced that the harbor has been assigned the port code “VNANA” by the General Department of Vietnam Customs, becoming Vietnam’s first international yacht harbor after a two-year trial.
Spanning over 89 hectares, including 68 hectares of water surface, the Ana Marina International Yacht Harbor can accommodate 220 yachts, including five-star yachts and sailing boats.
During its trial operation since April 2023, Ana Marina has served over 2,000 domestic and international vessels and welcomed more than 60,000 passengers.
The harbor meets the standards set by the International Marina Industries Association and features an integrated entertainment complex, five-star hotels and restaurants, a convention center, as well as international-standard fuel services, food supply, repair, and maintenance.
Dang Hieu Minh, co-owner of Focus Travel Group, shared that the official recognition of Ana Marina as an international port with the “VNANA” code lays a solid foundation for developing international sea routes and positioning Vietnam on the global luxury marine tourism map.
Nguyen Van Nhuan, Director of Khanh Hoa Province’s Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, confirmed to Sai Gon Giai Phong that the Vietnam Maritime Administration has assigned the port code “VNANA” to the Ana Marina Nha Trang Yacht Harbor. This is Vietnam’s first internationally-standard yacht harbor to commence official operations.
Mr. Nhuan assessed that with the country’s first international yacht harbor, Khanh Hoa Province is poised to become a new destination for luxury yachts and sailing boats, both domestic and foreign. It will also propel Nha Trang and Khanh Hoa Province to the forefront of hosting international sports events and sailing competitions.
Additionally, the harbor will cater to the growing demand for sea tourism in Nha Trang and Khanh Hoa, especially with the temporary closure of Nha Trang Port to international cruise ships for maintenance.
“The Khanh Hoa Province tourism industry is actively promoting and diversifying its international markets while organizing cultural and entertainment events of national and international stature,” said Mr. Nhuan. “Our goal is to attract 11.8 million staying visitors in 2025, including 5.2 million international visitors, with a tourism revenue target of VND 60 trillion.”
Developed by Focus Travel Trading and Tourism Co., Ltd., the Ana Marina Nha Trang Yacht Harbor is located north of Nha Trang City and spans over 89 hectares, including 68 hectares of water surface. It comprises commercial yacht service areas, infrastructure and technical service areas, and a comprehensive area with piers, floating docks, yacht maintenance areas, a dedicated maritime channel, breakwaters, and entertainment complexes.
With a capacity to serve 110 yachts, expandable to 220, the harbor enjoys an ideal geographical location, facilitating maritime connectivity between Southeast Asia and North Asia. It offers convenient access to Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and other Vietnamese ports.
Marina Market Could Reach $25 Billion
According to Researchandmarkets, the marina market has witnessed robust growth in recent years. It is projected to increase from $18.28 billion in 2024 to $19.47 billion in 2025, attaining a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. This historical growth can be attributed to the recreational boating trend, riverside real estate development, tourism, economic growth in coastal regions, and maritime events and competitions.
The marina market is expected to expand significantly in the upcoming years, reaching $24.38 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. Key trends during the forecast period include safety and security measures, environmental compliance, infrastructure upgrades, destination marinas, community focus, and events.
The projected growth in the marina market is driven by the expanding boating industry.

Marinas, which provide comprehensive services such as maintenance, part replacement, cleaning, fueling, and secure mooring, are integral to this industry.
The marina market is also expected to grow due to the increasing trend of urbanization. Urbanization involves the migration of populations from rural to urban areas, leading to urban expansion and economic development. This shift fuels higher living standards and stimulates demand for recreational activities like boating, facilitating the expansion of the marina market.
