As one of Southeast Asia’s largest and most powerful countries, Malaysia is endowed with both economic prosperity and natural bounty. This makes Malaysia a great place to start a long and luxurious yacht charter vacation.

The country’s tourism industry is one of the biggest contributors to its economy. Receipts from tourism amounted to RM 53.4 billion in 2007 and rose steadily to RM 86.1 billion in 2019.

The country’s diverse natural attractions are of particular interest to tourists coming to Malaysia.  Among these are famous islands and beach destinations — some of which are renowned across Southeast Asia.

Which is the best yacht charter to book in Malaysia?

While Malaysia is home to some world-class islands, travel a little farther from its shores and you can come to equally fascinating places such as the world-famous Phuket in Thailand and the gorgeous and secluded Mentawai Islands of Indonesia.

With a flourishing yacht charter sector, the country serves as a perfect springboard for exploration of many famous islands of other countries in the region.

A specially rented luxury vessel is one of the best ways to explore these gems of Southeast Asia, as they come equipped with five-star comforts and toys to ride the waves.

The Yacht Club has its own dedicated Malaysia section for booking yachts from its fleet of comfortable and fast vessels.

Charter World has a number of superyachts in its fleet, and they offer remarkably luxurious facilities. Many of these sleek vessels come with their own set of toys such as water skis. Among these are the 74-metre-long Lady E, a superyacht that can be rented for USD 595,000 (RM 2,531,427), and the El Aleph, a traditional sailing yacht complete with masts.

Bookings based on the number of passengers and season of travel can also be done on Yacht Charter Fleet. The user-friendly website has several customisable options to help select the best yacht in their fleet, which includes superyachts and sailing yachts.

If opting to sail in Malaysian waters, Platinum Charters can be a good option. Its highest priced vessel, Liquidity (Princess 52), will cost RM 144,000 per person per week and is a perfect yacht to explore the shores of the country.

Additionally, Y.CO provides a private yacht charter on rent in South East Asia, details of which can be sought on request via their official site.
