Overview
The Mergui Archipelago is Southeast Asia's last great yachting frontier. 800 islands stretching along Myanmar's Andaman coast, most of them completely uninhabited. Closed to visitors until 1997 and still requiring special permits, the Mergui offers a genuine expedition experience: pristine mangrove forests, untouched coral reefs, and encounters with the Moken. Southeast Asia's last sea nomads.
For superyacht charters, the Mergui represents the kind of exploration that has largely disappeared from the modern world. Anchor in bays where no yacht has visited before, dive reefs untouched by tourism, and experience a marine wilderness that rivals the Galápagos in its pristine beauty. The archipelago is accessible from Thailand's Andaman coast.
