Established in 2005 by Eva & Gerd Zimmermann, an adventurous German couple that circumnavigated the world on their 46’ sailing yacht Daddeldu prior to settling down in Langkawi, Blue Water Star Sailing quickly became Langkawi’s premium yacht charter agency - enticing sea enthusiasts with the largest and most varied fleet of yachts in entire Malaysia! 

There is ‘Freedom’, a luxury motor yacht luring with the thrill of speed. ‘Naga Pelangi’, a traditional junk-rigged schooner that brings back the memory of explorers who challenged the seas centuries ago when looking for jewels and spices. And if you are planning a lavish wedding celebration, the elegant 3-mast barquentine, ‘Lili Marleen’, is without a doubt the venue of your dreams. With 20 yachts of different sizes and styles - there is an ideal match for any taste and budget!  

With a passion to provide a truly unique and carefree vacation experience, all cruises are meticulously planned and tailored to suit your individual needs - so all you have to worry about is which way to relax!

ROBINSON CRUSOE FANTASY 

An advertorial by Kamila Delart

For more information about
'Crystal Yacht Holidays'
see crystalyacht.com

Having spent far too much time in front of my computer lately, it’s about time I took a proper day off.  I close my eyes, picturing a picnic on the beach, a hike through the jungle… But the enchanting beauty of the Langkawi Archipelago with its 99 islands seem to have casted a spell over me. So I quickly decide to treat myself with a leisurely day on the Andaman Sea.  I enjoyed quite a few wonderful cruises in the past, so this time I am looking for something special. And then I remember.  CRYSTAL YACHT HOLIDAYS, an innovative charter company specialized in quality sightseeing and adventure sailing, is supposed to be offering a rather unique Geopark Day Cruise with a BBQ on a deserted island. Robinson Crusoe for the day? Sounds perfect!

THE POETRY OF RIDING WAVES

Exploring Langkawi's Nature on Jet Skis

An advertorial by Kamila Delart

MORE ABOUT MEGA WATER SPORTS SEE HERE
    

Geysers of water bouncing off the bow. The thrill of speed. Conquest of the ocean…  Images that come to my mind when picturing a jet ski adventure. I have to admit, an adrenalin-kick does have its own appeal. But then - I am not the most daring person. So when I come across MEGA WATER SPORTS that offer apart from the ‘hard core’ jet ski trips also guided sightseeing tours through the breathtaking Langkawi Archipelago, I am truly intrigued.  What an original idea!
