YACHT CHARTERS
Myanmar
Myanmar lies along the eastern edge of the Bay of Bengal and is home to the Mergui Archipelago, a vast collection of over 800 islands. This region remains one of the least developed cruising grounds in Southeast Asia, defined by dense jungle, empty beaches, and untouched reef systems. Its isolation and limited access make it a rare yacht charter destination focused on exploration.
A Myanmar yacht charter centres on remote cruising, with access to quiet anchorages, coral reefs, and islands with little to no infrastructure. You can snorkel, dive, fish, and move between islands with minimal traffic. Crewed charters are essential here, handling permits, logistics, and navigation while allowing for flexible, tailored itineraries.

YACHT CHARTER HIGHLIGHTSMyanmar offers raw cruising across the Mergui Archipelago, with a strong focus on seclusion and natural environment. The region is known for clear water, reef systems, and low-density tourism, making it ideal for private yacht charters. Routes often include island hopping, snorkelling, diving, and cultural interaction with local sea communities.
Mergui Archipelago
The Mergui Archipelago is the core cruising region, made up of hundreds of islands spread across the Andaman Sea. It offers remote anchorages, reef access, and wide cruising space with minimal development.
Kawthaung
Kawthaung is the main entry point for charters in Myanmar, located near the Thai border. It serves as the starting base for permits, provisioning, and access into the archipelago.
Lampi Marine National Park
Lampi Marine National Park is a protected area within the archipelago, known for mangroves, coral reefs, and biodiversity. It offers structured cruising with opportunities for guided exploration and wildlife observation.
Nyaung Wee Island
Nyaung Wee Island is one of the few islands with limited development, offering a balance between comfort and isolation. It provides anchorage, beach access, and a base for exploring nearby reefs.
Great Swinton Island
Great Swinton Island is a remote and uninhabited island within the archipelago. It offers quiet anchorages, clear water, and strong snorkelling conditions, ideal for off-grid cruising.

5 Day Lagoons & Reefs Adventure
Discover the remote beauty of Myanmar’s Mergui Archipelago on a five-day luxury yacht charter through emerald lagoons, secluded beaches and tropical islands. Beginning and ending in Kawthaung, this journey takes you into the Andaman Sea, where limestone formations shelter hidden waterways and coral reefs invite underwater exploration. From the remarkable lagoon of Cock’s Comb Island to the white sands of Nyaung Oo Phee, each day combines adventure with peaceful cruising in one of Southeast Asia’s most secluded island destinations.

7 Day Archipelago Adventure
A seven-day charter provides enough time to explore a broader cross-section of the Mergui Archipelago, moving from small reef islands into larger jungle-covered landmasses, protected channels and traditional coastal communities. Established seven-day yacht itineraries have followed a route through Island 115, Nga Mann, Great Swinton, Clara Island, Salet Galet, Ko Phawt and Bo Cho before returning to Kawthaung. This is the most expedition-oriented of the three programmes. The route combines underwater exploration, rainforest landscapes, kayaking, remote beaches and cultural encounters, creating a stronger sense of journey than the shorter southern and central itineraries.

6 Day Wildlife & Island Discovery
The central Mergui Archipelago offers a different charter experience, shifting the emphasis toward mangrove forests, birdlife, jungle-backed anchorages and culturally significant island landscapes. Historical six-day sailing routes from Kawthaung have linked Barwell Island, Tang La Bo, Pony, Nyaung Wee and Lampi National Park in a journey built around nature and slow exploration. This six-day itinerary therefore focuses more heavily on forest, wildlife and kayaking than the five-day southern route. It progresses through a completely different set of destinations, culminating around Hastings Bay before returning toward Kawthaung.
