The destination guide
Subic Bay is one of the Philippines’ most practical yacht destinations, known for its sheltered bay, marina potential, service history and location northwest of Manila.
For yachts, Subic can work as a logistics, service and cruising base for Luzon, Manila Bay, northern Philippines and onward routes through Southeast Asia.
Guest appeal is more operational than glamorous, but the area offers beaches, forested surroundings, diving, regional resorts and access to wider Philippines itineraries.
