Sailing Area Malaysia - Sailing in a paradise island world

The main Yachtcharter Malaysia areas are Langkawi, Tioman and their surrounding islands. The Langkawi Archipelago is located in northwest Malaysia near the Thai border. The sailing area is north of the Strait of Malacca in the southern Andaman Sea and includes a group of 99 islands. Langkawi is significantly affected by tourism. The island is a free trade zone and there is a tax exemption that makes the berths for yacht owners very inexpensive. There is also a very good sailing infrastructure. On the southeast coast of Langkawi near the Kuah in the island's capital there is the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club. This charter base has 200 berths and is located 30 minutes away from the airport. The lively Langkawi is surrounded by beautiful islands. The sailing area is incredibly scenic and geologically interesting. There are white sand beaches, coconut trees, rock formations, rain forests, mangrove forests, coral reefs and waterfalls. There is a wide range of exotic wildlife and you can see iguanas, sea eagles and monkeys in their natural habitat. Tioman is located in the Gulf of Thailand, about 30 nautical miles east of the mainland of the Malay Peninsula. The sailing area covers the entire archipelago between Tioman and Aur, and the islands off the coast of Mersing. The islands in the vicinity are all close together and ideal for island hopping. Pulau Rawa, Seri Buat, Tinggi, Sibu and Pemanggil are some of neighboring islands. The islands have long sandy beaches and are surrounded by turquoise waters. You will find lush green vegetation, exotic plants and an abundance of wildlife. Tioman is listed as one of the 10 most beautiful islands in the world, and along its coastline there are several villages made up of simple huts. In many places you can go on excursions into the tropical rain forest and hike through the mountainous land. Due to the warm, clear waters and stunning marine life, Tioman is also a paradise for divers.
