Area information
Malaysia offers many interesting areas to sail.
More than 90 islands and islets are grouped around the main island of Langkawi, off the north-west coast of Malaysia.
On the programme for this destination, you will discover many islands with very impressive, unique scenery. From mangrove swamps to sumptuous beaches, bathed by warm, emerald-green waters all the year round.With incredible nature that is really Impressive!
Wind and WeatherMalaysia has an equatorial climate with maritime influences. The country has two monsoon periods. Result: there is no real dry season: it is hot and wet practically all the year round. On the other hand, the water is at an almost constant temperature, between 26 and 29°C.- The north-easterly monsoon (winter monsoon): it dominates from November to February, and brings rain to the east coast of the peninsula and to the coastal regions of Sabah and Sarawak. It also waters the centre and the west coast, but in a less abundant way.
- The south-westerly monsoon (summer monsoon): it dominates from August to November, and sweeps the west coast, but with less abundant rains than those of the winter monsoon on the east coast.
The ideal thing is to sail at Langkawi between November and April, as the winds, generally from the north-east (between 5 and 20 knots), are more favourable. And small anchorages in superb creeks bordered by immaculate white sand, and swimming in the middle of a multitude of fish are yours for the choosing... Distances between anchorages are very short, encouraging you to discover new islands and islets. In these conditions, it is impossible not to find the anchorage or the island of your dreams, with your catamaran anchored in translucent water.
Finally, note that Langkawi is also a stopover renowned for itsī duty-free shopping and inexpensive top-quality crafts. In short, a destination which will definitely please the whole family.
If you want to go to Malaysia between May and October, you will have to go to the base at Tioman, on the south-east coast. This is also an exceptional destination, where certain scenery will remind you of the Seychelles. Dream Yacht Charter moves itsī fleet from Langkawi to Tioman in May.
