Sailing & Photography
This trip has been revived and will be open for the next week if you are interested you need to contact us immediately to book your spot on this fabulous trip...
Photo Sailing Trip to Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar 11/23/2013.
We will sail into the Mergui Archipelago, a group of 800 deserted island, located in southern Myanmar, November 23rd - 27th, 2013
Be one of the first to explore one of the planet´s most unspoilt destinations under the guidance of three professional photographers:
The Yacht
This beautiful sailing yacht
measures 85 feet in length (25 meters). That's longer than the Santa
Maria, the boat that Christopher Columbus sailed into history when he
discovered the Americas. In fact, with all her space, you could
almost forget you were holidaying on a yacht. The sheer size, and the
facilities on board, make for a holiday getaway that you and your
friends won't forget.
It's your trip of a lifetime. And
the crew will do everything possible to make it an amazing
experience.
Cabins & Quarters
The yacht has four guest
cabins, each fully air conditioned with ensuite bathrooms and
electric toilets. Two of the cabins boast queen-size beds, while the
other two feature twin beds. Behind the cockpit is the triple
stateroom. The entire aft of the boat is shaded and fitted with
multiple dining spaces and sunbathing areas.
The boat's centre is dominated by
the generous galley and saloon dining area. But chances are that
you'll be enjoying most of your meals outside in the sun or in
Myanmar's mild evenings.

Our Sailing Area, the Mergui Archipelago
Think white beaches lined with
palm trees and dense jungle. Think swimming in azure water amongst
colorful reef fish, spotting corals, and collecting seashells. Now,
picture eagles circling above, gibbons and monitor lizards eyeing you
from the thickets, while a sundowner is being mixed for you on board
the luxury 85 feet yacht. And best of all, you have this entire
experience to yourself.
On Land
Due
to government neglect and the region’s long isolation, its 800 plus
islands have remained virtually untouched. They are composed of
limestone and granite and vary in size from tiny to islands larger
than Singapore. Most of them (we have yet to find one that isn’t)
are covered in thick jungle growth, which drops into azure waters,
interrupted only by beaches, rocky headlands, tidal rivers, and
mangrove forests. Lampi, the largest of the islands, is part national
park and home to some of the planet’s oldest mangrove forests.
Animals on the islands include
gibbons, pythons, civet cats, huge monitor lizards and the
rabbit-sized mouse deer. Hornbills are a common sight, while kites
and white-bellied sea eagles circle above every island and
kingfishers dart around quiet mangrove forests. Frigate birds,
pacific reef egrets, green imperial pigeons, and emerald doves are
just some of the birds native to this diverse archipelago.
Snorkeling and Diving
The whole area is an underwater
paradise. Extensive coral reef landscapes provide a home to sea
creatures: sea turtles, lion fish, cardinal fish, rays, triggerfish,
surgeonfish, puffer fish abound, and, with some luck, you can spot
the world’s largest fish, the plankton-eating whale shark. Further
out west, where the continental shelf drops off into the deep sea, a
range of underwater mountains called the Burma Banks are a thrilling
diving area for the experienced. We provide you with snorkeling
equipment at no extra cost.
Meet the Sea Gypsies
The traditional inhabitants of
the Mergui Archipelago are the Moken, a people who live off and on
the sea. Sometimes called "sea-gypsies", this ethnic
minority group leads a traditional, semi-nomadic lifestyle, dominated
by diving for sea cucumbers, fishing and bartering.
UNESCO examined the Mergui
Archipelago as a potential World Heritage Site for its biodiversity,
and the organisation's report concludes:
“While the biodiversity is
largely unknown, the intact vegetation on such an array of islands,
with associated marine habitats and spectacular geomorphology, is
likely to be of high global biodiversity significance. The
biodiversity values of this set of forested continental islands, and
the limited protection afforded such coastal islands elsewhere in the
region, indicates that they are likely to be of global priority and
form a potentially important trans-boundary World Heritage
inscription."
Let's hope for the best. But
don't miss out now:
Come before the area gets too famous!
We
will meet you at the Ranong airport at 8.00 am. You will need to have
a valid Burma visa (Myanmar embassy Bangkok).
The
government of Myanmar charges a fee for visiting the Mergui
Archipelago and the Marine National Park, depending on the number of
people and days. At present we are in negotiation with the government
to work out a fixed price. Currently you have to calculate
approximately 150 USD per person. We'll inform you as soon as we have
confirmed information.
This chance of a lifetime is limited to only 7 participants and requires a minimum of 4 participants
Price for 5 days:
- 7 participants = 60,000 THB or $1990 USD per person
- 6 participants = 68,000 THB or $2,250 USD per person
- 5 participants = 79,500 THB or $2,600 USD per person
- 4 participants = 97,000 THB or $3200 USD per person
- We will require a deposit of 50% (30,000 baht based on 7 participants) by August 31st with the balance due on Oktober 1st. (The balance due will reflect the number of participants)
