There are a growing number
of marinas and yacht clubs throughout Malaysia where it’s possible to tighten
the mainsail, tug on a halyard, hoist a spinnaker and let the tropical breezes
take you to new and exciting destinations.
Recreational sailing in Malaysia is expanding, affordable and a wonderful
way for visitors to discover Malaysia’s island and extensive coastline.
There are many places to hire powerboats and Luxury cruisers for making
discoveries in style. For those who like to sail the open waters for several
days, cruise liners pull into several Malaysian ports and islands.
Several major sailing events highlight Malaysia as an exciting boating destination.
These include the Raja Muda International Regatta, the Asean Regatta and
the Royal Langkawi International Regatta.
Langkawi is a great place to start a sailing holiday as the waters of the
Andaman Sea are superb, the sailing infrastructure is excellent and it is
a resort island with abundant attractions. Alternatively, there are many
East Coast islands where safe anchorages are assured and along the busier
West Coast the min ports of call include Port Dickson, Port Klang, Lumut,
Penang and Langkawi.
East Malaysia offers more adventurous sailing with excellent marina facilities
at Kota Kinabalu’s, Sutera Harbour. Some sailors arrive on the east coast
of the island of Borneo and then make their way from Tawau to Sandakan,
Kudat, Kota Kinabalu, Labuan Island and then to various ports along the
Sarawak coast before heading westward to Peninsular Malaysia.
