Join your boat and embark on your St Martin sailing itinerary at Anse Marcel Marina, located in an isolated and beautifully developed beach on the north of the island. Embraced on either side by hilly terrain, Anse Marcel beach has calm waters popular with families, who also enjoy wandering around the marina and its shops.
Heading south, to Carlisle Bay. Home to Carlisle Bay Resort, here you will find plenty of activities and amenities. They are very welcoming to charter guests, and their facilities give you everything you need for a relaxing day, and maybe a special evening. Snorkeling is a great way to spend the day, and then you can head to the resort for a delicious dinner on an Antigua sailing itinerary.
Dayang Bunting is the second largest island in the collection and is a great place to moor up and explore the region's largest fresh water lake in the area. A lake which is well known for its mystical stories, mysteries and legends, along with being a great place to hike and cool off from the heat.
Upon departing Dayang Bunting our Malaysia Sailing Itinerary proceeds back towards the island of Langkawi and the island's capital Kuah Town. Kuah Town is a duty free heaven and a great place to stock up on tax free products. Upon arriving at the marina you maybe required to show your passports and you are restricted to the amount of alcohol, cigarettes and tobacco you can take out of the city. Bass Harbor is located just outside of Kuah Town and is a commercial centre. While it is possible to moor in the marina, it is also possible to anchor just off the harbour where the sea bed is 6 meters of mud. There is a pontoon located close to shore to allow boats to moor up while exploring the town.
Ko Adang is another island located within the Tarutao National Park, but this island is uninhabited. The island is one of the best places in the area for diving or snorkeling with its brightly colored coral reef and ancient waterfall waiting to be discovered.
Day 12 of our Malaysia Sailing Itinerary takes our itinerary to the lush forests on the island of Ko Butang. The island is the ideal place to sail around in the turquoise waters, stopping to snorkel and swim off your boat within the tranquil environment. Here you can drop anchor and spend the night; 20 meters off the west side of the island is the perfect anchorage spot, allowing for swinging room when the winds change.
Ko Rawi is located close to Ko Adang and is another beautiful uninhabited island. It has superb snorkelling spots, ravishing white sandy beaches, and unspoiled jungle to embark on a hike through. Anchorages can be found 20 meters off the east of the island.
