Charter a superyacht in
Malaysia has many faces, and a superyacht allows you to experience them all. Float through the emerald islands of Langkawi, scattered like jewels in the Andaman sea. Hike through ancient rainforests —home to monkeys, tigers, leopards and elephants, or explore UNESCO-listed Penang, where colonial mansions lie between skyscrapers and temples and rickshaws rattle along ancient laneways. From the cities to the beaches to the deep, dark jungle, Malaysia is a foray into other worlds.
A superyacht in Malaysia is a vehicle for adventure. A yacht allows you to travel in the lap of luxury to parts of the country that would normally require you to rough it, returning to the glamour and ease of the yacht after thrilling days climbing mountains, bathing in forest waterfalls, and spotting orangutans and sun bears in the trees. Promising some of the best diving on earth and an exotic gourmet experience that reaches from the heights of fine dining to mind-blowing street food, this is a country that is born for exploration by private yacht.

Those wanting adventure further afield have the entire east coast of Malaysia to explore, with highlights including the stunning diving of Tioman Island, the undeveloped beauty of the Perhentian Islands, and Redang’s superb beaches. Across the South China Sea on the island of Borneo, Sarawak and Sabah offer a different side of Malaysia altogether. Experience off-the-grid cruising as you drop anchor off empty beaches and biodiverse rainforests where orangutans hang from the trees and Mount Kinabalu towers over the landscape. Offshore lies the island of Sipadan, considered one of the best diving destinations in the world.
Malaysia has a tropical climate, but the climate plays out in different ways in different regions. Malaysia is separated into two separate areas of land: Peninsula Malaysia and East Malaysia on Borneo. The Peninsula west coast on the Andaman Sea enjoys lovely cruising weather between November and April, when the seas tend to be calm and there’s plenty of sunshine. On the Peninsula’s east coast and East Malaysia, the peak ‘dry’ season is almost the reverse, running from March to October. Overall, the west coast receives less rainfall than the east coast, while Sabah is the wettest. Malaysia is not in the cyclone belt, but East Malaysia in particular can experience high winds and rain events from typhoons in the region, most commonly late in the year.
Most yachts who visit Malaysia centre their cruising in the Langkawi archipelago. However, for those turning south, there are so many wonders in store. On Penang Island, Georgetown offers a UNESCO-listed melting pot of culture, architecture and extraordinary food. A little jump down the coast is Lumut, gateway to Pangkor Island, and deeper south still is the gleaming city of Kuala Lumpur. The southern city of Malacca has been UNESCO listed for its fascinating history and architecture, and from there it’s just a short hop across to the glittering marvels of Singapore.
On Langkawi, superyachts are accommodated at Royal Langkawi Yacht Club (70m), or Rebak Marina Resort (35m). In Penang, superyachts can dock at Tanjong City Marina (70m) or Straits Quay Marina (25m). On the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, superyachts can berth at Royal Selangor Yacht Club (80m), or at Admiral Marina & Leisure Club in Port Dickson (65m). Deep in the south near Singapore, yachts can tie up at Puteri Harbour (100m), or Sebana Golf and Marina Resort (80m). In Sabah in East Malaysia (Borneo), Sutera Harbour Marina, Golf & Country Club accommodates yachts up to 55m.
