YACHT CHARTER & BORNEO WILDLIFE
Though Borneo invokes images of pristine jungle and untouched islands, it is very rarely talked about as a potential yacht charter destination. Yet the seas surrounding Borneo are home to coral atolls, oceanic islands, pristine beaches, crystal clear waters, and some of the best dive sites in the world. Even Borneo's interior is accessible for yachts by sailing up giant rivers that meander through dense tropical jungle where an abundance of nature & wildlife await.
A yacht charter holiday in Borneo could feature destinations such as Sarawak and Sabah (Malaysian Borneo), Brunei (Bruneian Borneo) or East Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo), and among renowned islands such as Mantanani, Sipadan, Layang-Layang, Sangalaki and the Derawan islands.
These island explorations can be combined with a vast range of natural, cultural and historical adventures awaiting on mainland Borneo. Cruising up the rivers of Borneo with Raja Laut one can explore prehistoric jungle, and visit local tribes to discover their traditions.
The Malaysian state of Sabah is an ideal departure point for yacht charter expeditions (read more about Sabah at www.discoverborneo.com)
Bounded by 3 seas: the South China Sea, the Sulu Sea, and the Celebes Sea, and known as the “Land Below the Wind”, this lush corner of Borneo lies outside of the typhoon belt making it free from any major climatic disturbances.
Furthermore Sabah is now an established yachting destination thanks to the opening of several marinas including the Sutera Harbour Marina in Kota Kinabalu.
A Borneo yacht charter must be planned well in advance due to the time and logistics of relocating from our home base in Langkawi. For more details please Contact Us.
