Over 900 islands to explore

Enjoy a trip  to The Mergui Archipelago (Myanmar), a unique area both above water as well as below. There are over nine hundred islands , all but two of them uninhabited, scattered over an area of some 12000 square miles.

You will never forget the breathtaking scenery,virgin rainforests and diving on reefs that have never been explored before.



Because of it's isolation, this place is only superficially charted, the interior of many of the islands has never been surveyed at all.

WILDLIFE is abundant, as is the vegetation on the rain forest -clad islands.

BEACHES are clean and stretch for miles.

PURE NATURE!

No other yacht around

Our diving and sailing charters in Myanmar take you to remote areas where you will rarely see any other yacht.

The only humans you are likely to encounter are the friendly Moken Sea Gypsies who roam the area in their small boats, like their ancestors have done for centuries.

Underwater there is world class diving to be found.

Reefs, drop- offs, sea mounts, caves and tunnels, which sometimes cut right trough an island with exits on both sides. Enough to keep every diver very happy.

Fish life is abundant. Scuba diving in the Mergui Archipelago usually means frequent encounters with sharks, manta rays, large swarms of eagle rays, and occasionally, whale sharks. The reefs are in excellent condition . All of yachts like exploring and, if guests want to, new sites which have never been dived before are tried out.

divesites

The Archipelago was strictly closed to all foreigners until in 1997. We were among the first yachts which were granted permission to undertake diving charters in Burma / Myanmar. Since then we have built up a wealth of knowledge about the area which is rivaled by very few others..

The duration of the trip is of course determined by our guests.
