Sail Malaysia

The WEBLINKS page has just been updated.  We have also added a 'Stories & Articles' page where you can view Malaysia from past participants as well as some newspaper articles.  It's taken some time for us to find your pages (we are still continuously searching) and we want to thank David Woodhouse from Sail Indonesia for work he did to unearth some of your stories.  For all past participant's, if you wish to include your blogs/websites, please email to us and we will be glad to link them here.

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.
