Langkawi is a world-class sailing
destination. The island's waters are ideal
for sailing as distances between islands are
short, waters are warm, winds are favourable
and there are many quiet sandy bays for
mooring, swimming and picnicking. The island
also offers sailing in sheltered inlets as
well as on open seas. Because of favourable
winds, sailing is best from November to
April. Marina facilities too, are second to
none. Telaga Harbour Park Langkawi near
Pantai Kok is a 32-acre Mediterranean-themed yachtie's haven - the first of its kind in
the region.
Stroll along the boardwalk or hang out at
the Telaga Cafe, whilst marvelling at the
plush mega-yachts and elegant sailboats
docked at the marina. After weeks at sea, yachties can drop by the post-office and
bank, stock up on groceries and tuck into
hearty meals. After dark, the place comes
alive with yachties and locals converging at
the Mare Blue Italian Restaurant, Restaurant
USSR, Pulau-Pulau Chinese Seafood Restaurant
or the music club at the other end of the
marina.
Developed to cater for sailboats and
mega-yachts, as opposed to other marinas in
the region, the park has good depth and
draft, good astern mooring for yachts 50m
long and excellent quality floating docks.
Also, the harbour is sheltered from erratic
winds and tide conditions. Other notable
marinas include the Royal Langkawi Yacht
Club at Kuah, the Awana Porto Malai
near Tanjung Malai and the Rebak Marina Resort
on Pulau Rebak Besar. All have first-class
accommodation with excellent dining,
entertainment and shopping.
