Malaysia is a cruising destination for
Australian and New Zealand yachties - sort of like the Caribbean is for the USA.
Very nice people, interesting culture, and low costs make it ideal for the
cruiser on a budget. For circumnavigators, it is a civilized spot for
low-cost provisioning and sightseeing.
The Malacca Straits coast of Malaysia has a lot to offer the
cruiser: low costs, sheltered waters, and marinas scattered along the
coast at frequent intervals. Facilities range from the basic to downright
decadent. We have collected information on:
- Sebana Cove - a
low-cost alternative to Singapore with easy access to the big smoke
- Port Dickson - very
sheltered marina with a great pool and nightly movies and easy access to
Kuala Lampur
- Port Kalang - a working
port with anchorages and a cozy yacht club with moorings - and strong
current!
- Lumut - no information at the moment.
- Penang - no marina at the
moment, but a tolerable anchorage and interesting town
- Langkawi - duty-free
haven for liquor buyers, it has a couple of marinas and the best anchorges
on the Malacca Straits.
