please read the rally notices below (updated 22 June 2009)
From the unique unspoiled places waiting to be discovered to world-class marinas, you will find Malaysia full of wonderful surprises. Malaysia is blessed with a combination of diverse heritage, natural beauty and excellent infrastructure.
Visiting Malaysia is hassle-free and ideal for a long-term stopover. Customs and immigration procedures are straightforward and uncomplicated. You are able to live freely and safely in Malaysia with the world easily accessible from any of our marinas. Cruisers will also find that Malaysia is an ideal place to stay during these adverse economic times where the living is still relatively affordable.
Our role in Sail Malaysia is to introduce and welcome you to the many exotic destinations in our country, coordinate the events and festivities for your enjoyment with a touch of our own Malaysian hospitality.
We invite you to join the events below and to DISCOVER MALAYSIA BY SEA!
