Sunsail’s base is located on Langkawi, the largest of the 99 islands that make up the cruising area. Coupled with natural white sand beaches, lush jungle foliage and craggy mountain peaks, the island has been called Malaysia's best-kept secret.

The cruising area is characterized by island hopping amid fantastic tropical scenery. Although there are some 5-star resorts and fabulous duty-free shopping, this is truly a place to escape and get away from it all.

Our cruising ground is the Andaman Sea including the 99 islands which make up the Langkawi group and also the southern Thai islands of the Butang group and Turatao. Clients can sail to the Butang group and Turatao, but not to Phuket. Clients chartering for just one week are recommended to stay within Malaysian waters, but for those on a longer visit, a trip to Thailand is well worthwhile. The border with Thailand is only two miles north of Langkawi and the cruising area extends approximately 24 miles into Thai waters. Entering Thai waters requires entry stamps that sometimes take between 24 and 48 hrs to arrange and cannot be pre-bought.
