Our Malaysian Connection

Based In Miri- Borneo

  •  Southern Sun is now based in Miri Sarawak Borneo. Miri is a fast growing oil town with a new marina. In the 4 years we have been there we have become involved with the local business community the expat community as well as the yachting community.

  •  Southern Sun is equipped with Side Scan Sonar , Magnetometer and ROV.

    We have been successfully using the equipment on board to look for World War ll and Historical ships lost off the Coast of Borneo, while keeping involved in other archaeological finds in Indonesia

  •  Southern Sun is based in Miri Marina and we assist other yachts when they arrive by providing them with a network of local businesses who can assist them with their repairs and improvements.
