The harbor functions as a designated port of entry with CIQ (Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine) facilities for international pleasure craft.
The development is part of the larger Nusajaya master plan, designed to serve as the administrative center of Johor.
It was specifically engineered to accommodate mid-sized luxury yachts and sailboats traveling between the Malacca Strait and the South China Sea.
The architecture reflects a modern maritime aesthetic intended to mirror developments like those in Singapore's Keppel Bay.
Puteri Harbour is an integrated waterfront precinct located along the coastline of the Johor Strait in Iskandar Puteri. The area features a public marina designed for private yachts alongside a multi-level pedestrian walkway known as Marina Walk. The development serves as a hub for waterfront dining, boutique retail outlets, and residential suites. It previously hosted themed attractions, though the landscape has transitioned toward a lifestyle and maritime-focused commercial space. The location provides direct views of the strait and proximity to the Port of Tanjung Pelepas logistics area. It is situated within the wider Iskandar Malaysia economic development zone.

Walk the entire length of the Marina Walk to find the quieter dining spots tucked away from the main entrance.
Check the weather forecast for high tide times, as the harbor aesthetic changes significantly when the water levels are at their peak.
Carry an umbrella for sun protection, as the promenade has limited shaded cover during midday hours.
Avoid visiting during extreme mid-day heat due to the lack of sufficient overhead shelter along the outdoor promenade.
Casual beach-appropriate attire is standard, but modest dress is advised when entering surrounding residential or business lobbies.
