There are number of yachts and boats that cruise the Myeik Archipelago, most of which sail from Kawthaung at the southern tip of Myanmar. These vessels range from elegant, teak-decked schooners to boats designed specifically for scuba diving groups.
You can either take part in larger groups on board, or charter your own private cruise; bookings should be made at least one month in advance.
SY Raja Laut
The Raja Laut is a magnificent two-masted, gaff-rigged, wooden schooner. Although a classic design inspired by trading ships of the 19th century, she is in fact a modern luxury sailing yacht constructed in 2006, with en-suite bathrooms, A/C, hot showers and comprehensive scuba diving facilities.
SY Scame
Perfect for small groups or families, this elegant, one-mast wooden cutter was constructed at the famous Sangermani Shipyards in Italy.
SY Sunshine
Built in homage to an original 1900 design by Glen F. McAndrew of Largs Castle in Scotland, Sunshine is a luxurious two-masted gaff rigged schooner.
