Get away from the crowds
on the Trimaran "Aquila".
Join in
on a truly international voyage visiting an excellent array of pristine
islands, most of which are uninhabited. You will be totally removed
from the regular tourist path once clear of the northern islands groups,
visiting areas that can only be gained by private charter yacht.
Robinson
Crusoe would have felt at home in these islands. Life today is not as
hard though, you can spend your days snorkeling, kayaking, lazing around,
swimming and enjoying the sumptuous meals prepared aboard by your crew.
In the evening once clear of the city lights the heavens open up with
a kaleidoscope of lights in the night sky. Falling stars can be often
seen whilst lying in the bow nets if you keep a keen eye out.

Langkawi
Arriving
at the capital Kuah Town with a population of a small town you are now
in Malaysia. Langkawi is called the island of mysteries. Many myths
relate to the forming of the islands. Only recently a curse for 100
years has ended. Masuri, a woman who was wrongfully condemned to death,
put the curse upon the island. The island is duty free. Religion on
the island is mainly Moslem so a conservative dress code should be adhered
to. Links by fast ferry to mainland Malaysia, mainland Thailand and
Penang operate every day. There is an international airport with flights
to Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore and direct charter flights to
England.

"thank you" in Malay is "Tera Ma Kasih". You voyage
