Yacht Charter Holiday

Sailing and exploring in Langkawi“As well as the Island of Phuket, Simpson Yacht Charters also help yachters explore the wonderful sailing in Langkawi.”

“It is on the North Western coast of the Malaysian Peninsular in the Malaccan Straits. It is very close to the equator too!”

Langkawi is home to some of the most stunning beaches in Malaysia – its cluster of 99 islands which means there are ample shorelines to explore whilst yachting.

Langkawi is officially known as Langkawi the Jewel of Kedah – 30km off the coast of Malaysia the islands form part of the state of Kedah (hence the official name).

Some of the mysticism of Langkawi lies in the legends of the kingdom of Kedah. These legends talk of a snake known as Ular-besar, to which the King must sacrifice a virgin daughter upon ascension or also when a war was declared as a sacrifice to the gods. 

The economy of the islands is mostly agriculturally based.

The islands were given a World Geopark status by Unesco in 2007.

The Kilim Karst Geoforest is home to the Kilim River. This is an area particularly rich in wildlife and a perfect spot for animal lovers. There are the really interesting hairy nosed sea otters, monitor lizards, and macaque monkeys that swim in the waters there – which is pretty amazing.

Due to the waters calmness, there is plenty of opportunity to enjoy water sports such as banana boating parasailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, jet skiing and more!
