Kuala Rompin Malaysia - The Jetty

Kuala Rompin Malaysia - The Jetty

By : chuangsp@gmail.com


The sailfish fishing jetty from where you depart to the sailfish spot is not far from the Kuala Rompin town.

The Jetty is situated between Lanjut Beach & Golf Resort (Serai At Lanjut - Please refer tripadvisor for rating under the name of ketutubud) and the Kuala Rompin Town. And its about 1km away from the main road.

Kuala Rompin is a small town situated along the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Assessing to Kuala Rompin is either from Singapore airport or Kuala Lumpur Internationa Airport if you are arriving outside Malaysia. Travelling is almost 4 hours from either of these two airport in a luxury MPV.

There are two restaurants besides the jetty one serve chinese and non-chinese food. Of course there are other restaurants besides these two at Kuala Rompin Town. Fishes that besides sailfish that can be bring on shore can be cooked by any restaurants in Kuala Rompin.

The jetty is make of mangrove woods tree (which is traditional way of making jetty in Kuala Rompin) and its can last a long times.

The Jetty is unlike any luxury marina that you seen round the world. Its just not more than a place for those roughly 30 boats to be parked and tie together.

Evening around18:00 is the most busier times at the jetty when all the sailfish boats are back. When everything are being off load from the boat by those anglers, its the turn for the boatman to clean up their boat in preparation for different group day after. Whereas anglers are busy counting the catch (besides sailfish which is catch and release) and watching them before its being brought to a restaurant near by or back home.

There are also a role of chalets with attached bathroom besides the jetty. Those chalets belong to the owner of the chinese restaurant.

Those who stays at the chalets would usually hang around and have their dinner and beer around the restaurant till times go to bed. They are many from different part of the globe that converge at this Asia Capital Of Sailfish and share among each other their angling experience before they call it a night.
