Penang has an ideal location in the tropics with a delightful atmosphere. Yacht rental from Penang allows you to enjoy dry spells and stable weather for most of the year as it is located on the Malaysian Peninsula and covered by the Island of Langkawi to the West. There are two main seasons for yacht charter seasons in Penang; the South West (wet) or North East (dry) monsoon seasons that occur from May to October and from November to April. During wet monsoon, there is slightly more wind, which can make your yacht charter sailing even more fun, and during the dry season, there are lighter wind speeds that range from force 2 to 5 from the North East.

South of Penang and just a short distance from the Straits Quay Marina stands two iconic Penang bridges. A perfect yet undemanding way to cruise around the clear water close to the city sprawl. Monkey beach is another short sail along this pristine coastline, located in the Penang National Park. Monkeys mostly inhabit the beach but look-out for the green turtles and white-bellied sea eagles too.

The tax-free island of Langkawi is within easy reach of Penang by yacht. You can make it a long day trip but why rush, relax on holiday! Why not spend a leisurely day sailing to this archipelago, then you will have the whole evening to enjoy the sunsets across the myriad of islands. You could even go onshore on the main island for some vibrant nightlife and tax-free drinks mixed with an exotic dinner. As you head home to Penang, your second day will be full of great memories of your sail across the sparkling sea to the tropical paradise of Langkawi.

Yacht rental for a week (or longer), what a good idea!

Penang offers convenient reach to a myriad of Islands in Thailand to the North, including Koh Lipe. If you miss the hustle and bustle of the city after a few days, go ashore at Phuket for a nightlife refresher.
