Baung Utara, Sdn. Bhd.

Founded in 1998, Baung Utara Sdn Bhd (100% bumiputra) started as a Riverine Excursion company cruising along the historical Kedah River, in Alor Star, Kedah. While originally using ex military boats, we discovered that we were unable to replace this boats with newer models suitable to operate in a shallow water environment while capable in handling high seas along the costal waters. This cause our founder, to conceive, designs, and built our range of boats with unique capability and features after years of Research and Development as well as years of operating boat. Initial the boats were built by others, we now have our own Fiber Manufacturing Factory in order for us to maintain strict quality control and to ensure that our unique design is applied properly to each and every boat we produce and sold. Our Research have develop our own range of Anti Slip Decking which was develop initially for our boats decks, but now have found fresh use at Marine Docks to replace wooden decking , as well as replacing Metal Man Hole covers which command a high resale value. While we have move on from running simple river rides and excursion, we still maintain our River Cruise (Eco Ride) along the Nipah Forest and Many Fishing Villages of Kedah River, and have expended to providing Dive Charters & Day Snorkeling Excursions to Pulau Payar from the port of Kuala Kedah, the jump of point to Langkawi using our very own demonstration Ranger 1/Sea Devil. Pulau Payar is a short ride away from Kuala Kedah, Making this National Marine Park (the oldest in Malaysia) assessable in a simple day trip, for many Malaysians who have not visited this beautiful island before, for Scuba Diving, Snorkeling, or Simple Relaxation.
