Pulau Duyung is an island which is located at the Terengganu River and is accessible by road or by boat. Unlike the islands of Redang or Perhentian, this island is not well known for the beaches or scuba diving.

It is well known for traditional boat building in Terengganu. Most of these boats are built for the fishermen in Marang. The Custom Made Wooden Yacht on this island is owned by Pakcik Haji Abdullah. He receives order for the boat making from the locals as well as from overseas.

As the number of cengal trees continue to deplete and the rising labour cost, this industry is not thriving but rather it is slowing down.

Cengal wood is a type of hard wood that is found in the jungle of Malaysia and the market demand for it has caused the price to escalate. Over here, you will be able to see the boats that are being built at the workshop.
