 South East Asia Thailand, the Malay Peninsula and Indonesia are also opening up to yacht charter and the best time to visit is between November and March when the north-east monsoon brings ideal sailing conditions.
The lush tropical area with dense forests, mangrove swamps, colourful coral and exotic marine life has much to offer the adventurous traveler. Ashore a rich blend of culture and history make for fascinating excursions.
 Phuket and Bali are perhaps the best-known places in South East Asia.
Bali is still an idyllic island away from the frenetic capital.
Phuket suffers slightly from over exposure but can provide good facilities for those who want a good night life and enjoy some bustle. If a quieter and more slow paced embarkation port is more to your taste, Langkawi has an attractive and exclusive airport where it is possible to embark at your own pace.
The whole north west coast of the Malay peninsular is then easily accessible for a ten day to two week charter. Embark in Singapore or Kuala Lumpur to cruise the Tioman islands an idyllic set of islands with rugged formations created by volcanic activities in the area, a gentle and pleasant population, and a sea full of coral, and all manner of exotic sea creatures to snorkel amongst. Indonesia and Borneo offer exotic areas to explore from the comfort and security of your charter yacht from which a pampered adventure can be planned. |
