Malaysia Yacht Charter FAQ

Malaysia is a great sailing destination for first-time yacht charters, offering beautiful islands, calm waters, and stunning natural scenery. However, to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, consider hiring a skipper or opting for a crewed yacht charter if you're unfamiliar with the area.
Prices displayed only include the base yacht rental fee.

For a bareboat rental, you'll have to add the operating costs and the skipper daily rate should you need one.

For a crewed yacht charter, you need to add the Advance Provisioning Allowance aka APA (20 - 40% on top of base fee), taxes and tipping to the crew.

Contact us if you want a more detailed quote for yachts that match your criterias.
Crew members included in your yacht charter in Malaysia depend heavily on the length of your boat.

Bareboat rentals can include one professional skipper.

Smaller yacht charters typically include one captain and one or two stewardesses.

Bigger yachts can include chefs, deckhands, engineers, cleaning staff and even watersports guides.

Get in touch with our team for more details about a yacht you've seen.
In Malaysia, it is ideal to book a yacht charter 3 to 6 months in advance to secure the best options, especially during peak season from November to March when demand is high.
You are free to customize your sailing itinerary as long as it meets the sailing safety criterias from your captain. You can also ask us to make a specific itinerary based on your wishes and islands or landmarks you'd like to include.

The remaining 50%, the APA, taxes and delivery charges are due one month before the start of the cruise.
