Malaysia

If you seek an enchanting yacht charter cruising ground, the islands off Malaysia’s northeast coast are ideal. Among the archipelago’s hundred islands, Langkawi and Penang stand out, located just south of the Thai border. Exploring these islands by luxury yacht charter is best, as many are only accessible by boat. While some islands offer peaceful seclusion, Langkawi has seen a tourism boom, bringing luxury resorts, international cuisine, and ultra-modern marinas for yacht charters.

Despite increased tourism, Langkawi retains its charm with largely unspoilt surroundings. Inland, the breathtaking landscape of rainforests, wildlife, and native fauna awaits exploration. Numerous coves feature brilliant white sand beaches and turquoise waters, perfect for escaping and exploring caves, lakes, and limestone outcrops.

The clear waters around Langkawi delight marine life lovers with diverse marine life, coral cliffs, and colourful fish, making it ideal for diving and snorkelling. The east coast offers emerging sailing areas like Tioman and Sabah, with Kota Kinabalu’s sailing waters and the Celebes Sea’s top diving sites, such as Sipadan.
