Rockbund Fishing Chalet in Lumut, Perak
Did you know that there is a beautiful and modern fishing resort located in Malaysia? The place is called Rockbund Fishing Chalet in Lumut, Perak and was formerly known as Coral Fishing Resort.
This fishing resort has been around since 2007 and the location is at the southwest of Marina Island Lumut, which is a 1,301-hectare manmade island that is connected by a 400-meter bridge to the mainland.

This is the kind of place that anglers or those who want to experience sea fishing should visit. I would call this the new concept of fishing chalets, which have a very lifestyle and modern look and feel.
Judging from the photos here, you can easily see how the new management has improved this place to cater to all walks of life. As a former fisherman, I must say that looking at these photos makes me want to pick up my fishing rod and head here for old-time’s sake.
Well, if you are an avid angler, you may have heard about this place; if not, it is time you start planning to visit this place for a weekend getaway. This is also a great vacation concept for families to bond and teach the kids about fishing.
After all, the fish you will catch here are not regular pond fish like talapia or carp. You will go for quality seafish like groupers, barramundi and even mackerel.

Who is Rockbund Fishing Chalet?
This fishing chalet has been around since 2015 and was recently taken over by new management, who renamed this place Rockbund Fishing Chalet.
The company has been around since 2008 and was founded by Mr Timothy Ding. Originally, this resort opened as Coral Fishing Resort in 2007 and was highly popular among the anglers.
In a turn of events, the resort was taken over and given a beautiful facelift with a splash of pastel colour on the chalets. Improvements were made to the interior of the rooms and the landscaping.

What is there to do at Rockbund Fishing Chalet?
Well, it is no-brainer that fishing is the number one activity at this resort, but from a traveller’s perspective, I think coming here to relax could be a reason, too. For example, the resort also caters to weddings, and they have a beautiful setup available for this. However, it could be an angler’s dream wedding location.
The resort offers bicycle rental services where you can rent bicycles and cycle around Marina Island. For food, there is a cafe available that serves breakfast and local food. If you explore Marina Island, there are, of course, other things that you can do around here, so let your wanderlust lead the way around the island for you.
Optional tours to Pangkor Island or even island hopping activities can be arranged with the resort and if you are up for a sunset cruise, that too can be arranged.
For company trips, the resort is open to team building package,s which include land and sea activities. This can be a full packaged event for small to medium companies as the resort has a multi-purpose hall.
What types of chalets are available here?

| This is how close the chalets are located to the sea. |
Three types of chalets are available depending on your travel style and budget. In total, there are 21 chalets at Rockbund Fishing Resort. The chalet types are;
- Standard Chalet
- Superior Chalet
- Suite Superior Chalet
The resort also practices the no television concept, so do not expect one in your chalet. You can rent a TV if you like, but the objective of coming here is to fish and take a vacation to relax.
Each general chalet has two rooms and one common bathroom and is standard without any minibar or other general hotel facilities. There is air conditioning so you need not worry.
As simple as it can be, the layout is planned for rest, not a luxurious holiday. There is no fridge, water kettle, telephone, cutleries, glasses, or hand towels, and the Wi-Fi is pretty weak.
You only get towels and the standard soap dispenser in the bathroom, so if you are used to your own resort living style, you should bring your amenities.

How much do the chalets cost here?
Well, it all depends on the season and where you book from. You can book directly with the resort operator or go to OTAs like Agoda and Booking.
The average price for the standard chalet is around RM290 per unit. Sometimes, you may even get a good deal for a 2D/1N package at around RM330, including a local and simple breakfast.
Is there any Fishing Equipment Rental available here?
Sadly there is none, therefore you need to bring your fishing equipment and bait when you visit this chalet.
For bait, you can stop at the local market in Lumut or any other town on your journey here. Since it is sea fishing, squid, prawns, or fish is good enough bait. This means you must bring a small icebox to store them.
There is a fishing tackle shop called A2A Fishing Sports Shop (+6 016 536 9500) in Setiawan if you use this way to get here. They also sell live prawn bait; you can use Waze to locate them on your way here.
Lumut has a fishing tackle shop called Kedai Pancing Cheng Hao Enterprise located along Jalan Lumut Indah, so this is your last choice. I recommend bringing spares for everything like weights, hooks and leader line. This is because you never know when you may hit a snag and snap your line.

Conclusion
If you have been thinking about that fishing holiday and need to include your family, this is the place to visit. Alternatively, you could gather your group of anglers and head here too.
This place is a standard resort-style concept with beautiful fishing platforms that are safe for everyone, including kids. I believe this place is very suitable for those who enjoy fishing and not those who want to come here for a typical resort getaway.
