MALAYSIA
Emerald seas and deserted beaches combine to make the islands of Malaysia a natural paradise and an intriguing yacht charter destination. With two idyllic cruising grounds centred around the Langkawi archipelago on the north west coast and the Tioman Islands on the south east coast, take your time to discover the true beauty of this unspoilt yachting haven.

Langkawi, with its hundred or so islands, is a year round destination where you can drop anchor off pristine beaches which are only accessible by boat or explore lush tropical rain forests filled with abundant wildlife. The peaceful charm of the islands also encompasses world class resorts where you can sample Malay cuisine – an exotic combination of Thai, Indonesian and Indian - allowing you to enjoy your time ashore as much as the relaxed lifestyle onboard.
There are several good marinas on the islands which offer charter yachts the flexibility and convenience of a berth for the night or opt for a secluded anchorage where dreams are created against the myriad colours of a tropical sunset. Romantic and welcoming, Langkawi is a natural haven for anyone who wants a vacation away from the crowds.
Weather in Langkawi
Malaysia has a warm climate year round and two distinct monsoon periods. During the north-east monsoon from November to April Langkawi is consistently sunny and dry with calm seas and winds between 10 to 15 knots. During the south west monsoon, the winds are a little stronger, however most of the cruising area is still well protected.

Tioman, a bewitching vacation paradise sits off the east coast of Malaysia in the South China Sea. Translucent waters, teeming with colourful sea life and corals surround exquisite granite peaked islands framed by blue skies. Diving here takes you to an enchanted world where Bumphead Parrot Fish drift among beautifully sculptured sea sponges. And when you are finally ready to come back onboard, relax with a book and a cool drink and then let the sound of the waves simply lull you to sleep.
Weather in Tioman
The best time to visit Tioman is between May and October when the south-west monsoon predominates and the weather is calm and sunny.
