Between Oryukdo and Gwangan Bridge: Diamond Bay Boarding Route and Yacht Tour
Diamond Bay is a yacht tour facility near the Yongho Bay Cruise Terminal in Yongho-dong, Nam-gu, Busan, where you can board Midas 722 and enjoy views toward Oryukdo, Gwangan Bridge, and Haeundae. Since the building and the actual pier are separate, first-time visitors should check the boarding location, scheduled departure time, and advance reservation requirements beforehand.

The Actual Boarding Dock to Find First at 101 Bunpo-ro
Diamond Bay's address is 1F, 101 Bunpo-ro, Nam-gu, Busan (Yongho-dong, Yonghoman Cruise Terminal). However, reservations and boarding procedures are handled at the Diamond Bay dock across the road on the pier side, not inside the Yonghoman Cruise Terminal building. Enter “Yonghoman Cruise Terminal” into your navigation system, but after arriving at the building, cross the road toward the sea and proceed to the dock.
Reviews repeatedly point out that the dock signage is unclear and that the location is on the waterfront rather than inside a building. Therefore, after receiving your reservation confirmation message, check the dock location on a map again. On weekends, at night, and during peak seasons, it is safest to arrive at least 30 minutes before departure, as officially recommended.
Travel Time from Kyungsung University·Pukyong National University Station and Namcheon Station
From Kyungsung University·Pukyong National University Station on Metro Line 2, you can take the Nam-gu 2 village bus from the Kyungsung University entrance, get off at the stop in front of LG Metro City Building 133 shopping area, and walk for 2 minutes. Another option is to take buses 20, 22, 24, 27, 39, or 131 near the same station, get off at Yongmun Middle School, and walk for 20 minutes.
From Namcheon Station, transfer to bus 583 near Daenam Intersection, get off at the Yonghoman Cruise Terminal stop, and walk for 2 minutes. For drivers, the official directions recommend setting Yonghoman Cruise Terminal as the navigation destination, passing through Hwangnyeong Tunnel and the Daenam Underpass, continuing straight for 500 m at Daenam Intersection, and turning right.
Regular Departures Starting at 3:30 p.m. on Weekdays
As of August 18, 2026, regular private-tour departures are at 15:30 and 16:30 during weekday daytime, and at 18:30, 19:30, and 20:30 on weekday evenings. On weekends and public holidays, daytime departures are at 13:30, 15:30, and 16:30, while evening departures are at 18:30, 19:30, and 20:30. No separate general daily opening or closing hours or regular closing days could be confirmed in publicly available information.
Charters can operate from 10:00 to 22:00, and voyages lasting more than 50 minutes can be extended for an additional fee. All products require 100% advance reservations, and boarding is permitted only after a reservation confirmation message is sent following payment. The yacht departs punctually at the scheduled time and does not wait for other passengers, so allow time to find the dock rather than calculating only 2 minutes of walking after getting off the bus.
Boarding Fees Listed as KRW 30,000 for Adults and Reservation Contacts
Existing tourism information lists the boarding fee as KRW 30,000 for adults, KRW 20,000 for teenagers, KRW 10,000 for children, and free for infants aged 35 months or younger. These rates are based on previous tourism information rather than the latest fare table on the official reservation page, so confirm the price for each product during the reservation process. Public information does not confirm whether only cash is accepted or which courses are included in the current fare.
The official website is https://diamondbay.co.kr/, and the main telephone number is 051-200-0002. The operating company is Samjoo Diamond Bay Co., Ltd., its representative is Baek Seung-yong, and the reservation inquiry email is listed as [email protected]. Foreign travelers should note in particular that this is a facility for boarding a reserved tour, not a place for freely sightseeing after purchasing a general admission ticket.
Busan's Coastline Seen from the 72-Foot Midas 722
Diamond Bay operates the Midas 722 catamaran yacht. According to the official introduction, the vessel is 72 ft long, weighs 54 t, and can accommodate up to 92 people, with a passenger capacity of 88. The Midas 722 is a large, double-deck yacht with a layout extending from the B1 level to the second floor above ground and amenities including a stage, minibar, and gallery.
The yacht has spacious indoor and outdoor areas, as well as spaces suitable for meetings and banquets. It is a twin-hull catamaran and is introduced as operating at a low average speed of 5–10 knots. Daytime tours are described as maritime journeys from Oryukdo to Haeundae. Existing tourism information separately introduces a daytime Oryukdo course and a nighttime Haeundae course, so confirm the course included in your reserved product.
What to Prepare When Going Out on Deck for 40–60 Minutes
Reviews mention a viewing duration of approximately 40–60 minutes, while another review records that a 50-minute course listed in the information actually lasted about 40–45 minutes. In reviews written after visits during good weather, passengers report enjoying the night view from the deck for about 50 minutes. Some also mention that departing around sunset made it possible to see both the sunset colors and the night view.
On the other hand, a February review advised bringing enough clothing because it can be very cold inside the vessel. The yacht operates normally in rainy weather as well, but if safety risks such as a high-wind or rough-seas advisory arise, the operator contacts passengers regarding cancellation, refunds, or schedule changes at least 2 hours before departure, according to the official guidance. Public information does not confirm whether photography is prohibited or whether English guidance or an audio guide is available.
Boarding Conditions for Infants, Older Adults, and Pets
According to the official guidance, pregnant passengers, infants, and older adults may board, but boarding may be decided on-site depending on the weather. Companions with motion-sickness or mobility concerns should therefore plan to use the indoor areas first rather than the outdoor deck and consider the waiting and boarding route before departure. Public information does not confirm whether wheelchairs and strollers can be moved around inside the vessel.
Pets are not permitted on regular boarding products. Small dogs may accompany passengers in a carrier on private charter products after advance inquiry, so avoid bringing an animal to the site after booking a regular tour. Parking is available at the Yonghoman Cruise Terminal parking lot, but public information does not confirm parking fees or discount criteria for cruise passengers.
Cancellation Refund Rates That Change Starting 7 Days Before Departure
The official cancellation policy provides a 100% refund 7 days before departure, 80% 6 days before, 70% 5 days before, 60% 4 days before, 50% 3 days before, and 40% 2 days before. Cancellations on the day before departure receive a 30% refund, while refunds or cancellations on the day of departure are not permitted. Before booking, read the policy carefully and distinguish between schedule changes made by the operator because of weather and cancellations made by passengers for personal reasons.
Reviews describe the 92-passenger yacht as large and spacious, with relatively few passengers on weekday evenings. Conversely, arrival at least 30 minutes before departure is recommended on weekends, at night, and during peak seasons. For first-time foreign visitors, booking a weekday evening and allowing ample travel time is therefore the more practical choice.
How to Combine It with the 0.6 km Igidae Coastal Walking Trail
Near Diamond Bay, the Dongsengmal Observatory in Igidae Park is 0.6 km away, and the Igidae Coastal Walking Trail is also 0.6 km away. The cloud bridge is listed in public tourism information as 0.7 km away, and the sea cave as 0.9 km away. If you want to walk along the coast before the yacht departs, secure time first to find the dock signage rather than creating a tightly packed schedule based only on walking distances.
Unlike land-based observatories, the yacht tour is a program for viewing Oryukdo, Gwangan Bridge, Nurimaru, and the Haeundae area from the sea. When combining the coastal trail and yacht tour on the same day, count backward from the departure time stated in your reservation confirmation message. Because the yacht departs punctually, avoid walking for too long and returning late to the dock.
