10 day sample Mergui Archipelago Cruise

Sailing the Mergui Archipelago Enjoy a trip you to The Mergui Archipelago (Myanmar), a unique area both above water as well as below. There are over nine hundred islands , all but two of them uninhabited, scattered over an area of some 12000 square miles. You will never forget the breathtaking scenery and virgin rainforests.

The Archipelago was strictly closed to all foreigners until in 1997. To sail in this remote area all yachts require a special permission and a burmese guide on board.

Some of our boats do have this liscence and can charter the Mergui (Myeik) Achipelago on skipper only or crewed charter basis.We have built up a wealth of knowledge about the area which is rivaled by very few others. Because of it's isolation, this place is only superficially charted, the interior of many of the islands has never been surveyed at all. Wildlife is abundant, as is the vegetation on the rain forest -clad islands. Beaches are clean and stretch for miles.Pure nature!

Under water there is world class diving to be found. Reefs, drop- offs, sea mounts, caves and tunnels, which sometimes cut right trough an island with exits on both sides. Enough to keep every diver and snorkeler very happy.
Fish life is abundant.

Where can we go?

Our sailing charters in Myanmar take you to remote areas where you will rarely see any other yacht. The only humans you are likely to encounter are the friendly Moken Sea Gypsies who roam the area in their small boats, like their ancestors have done for centuries.

You can only go there from November to May due to the seasonal weather. If you like to come at another time please have a look at the sailing options in Thailand.
