Budai Yacht Port Introduction
Budai Yacht Harbor is located in the coastal area west of Budai Township, Chiayi County, on the northern side of the first phase of the reclaimed land, adjacent to the Budai Domestic Commercial Port to the southwest and separated by a 60-meter waterway from the Budai Third Fishing Port to the northeast, collectively known as the "Three Ports of Budai." The harbor currently has a water area of about 5 hectares and a land area of approximately 6.7 hectares, which includes a yacht service center, a scenic plaza, restrooms for men and women, a yacht docking area, and parking lots. Budai Yacht Harbor opened in October 2009 and aims to maximize its function by allowing the public to enter for recreational and leisure activities, as well as to conduct related experience activities and water training sessions to foster public interest in water recreation and enhance awareness of water safety. To improve the quality and standards of recreational services at Budai Yacht Harbor, a BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) and ROT (Rehabilitate-Operate-Transfer) privatization plan was initiated, and in November 2017, Taiwan Princess Yacht Co., Ltd. obtained the rights to operate for 35 years. The first phase involved an investment of over NT$40 million to renovate the yacht service center, merchandise exhibition center, and service clubhouse, as well as beautifying the harbor area, presenting a brand new look. Current services include floating docks, rental of berths, land-based docking rental, powerboat training classes, yacht sales and management, repairs, and venue rental for banquets, parties, and wedding photo shoots.
