Mergui Archipelago
The Mergui
Archipelago comprises hundreds of islands and
stretches some 200 miles north from the Thailand border.
It is one of the most beautiful and untouched areas
in the world and is only accessible by sailboat. The
area has some world class Snorkelling and Scuba Diving
and is perfect for those who want to have a go. The ancient
mangroves that line the rivers and inlets on Lampi Island
provide a great opportunity for exploring with Sea Kayaks.
 |
The area is truly all the things that
postcards promise. If you could paint a picture
of paradise, the islands of Mergui Archipelago
would be it.
|
| These are the islands
you'll never find in any travel agents' window...
some 800 of them, almost all uninhabited, covered
in rainforest and fringed by white sandy beaches.
Most are surrounded by pristine coral reefs and
all are lapped by the warm turquoise Andaman Sea.
They are preserved in the truest sense, boasting
a variety of wildlife including monkeys, wild boar
and even Elephants. Bird life is prolific, with
over 50 species including Hornbills, Egrets, Kites
and Fish Eagles. |

Sailing the Mergui Archipelago is
what Sailing Thailand was like 20 years ago; easy,
gentle cruising and no other boats!!
|
Although the islands are almost all uninhabited,
there are sea gypsies (Moken) who are indigenous
to the Mergui Archipelago.
These people have lived their nomadic existence
in the area for hundreds of years, effectively
cut off from the outside world.
During the trip we often encounter these fascinating
people and have the opportunity to see how they
live, despite the modern world. |

Adventure Sailing Trips
 |
The "Adventure"
tag applies not only to the fun, freedom and excitement
of being out on the ocean on your own yacht, but
also to the Stressbreaker get-involved approach,
where everyone is part of a real "crew"
- not just passengers to be ferried about according
to some strict itinerary, or the whim of the captain.

There's no obligation to pull on ropes if you
don't want to - but if you'd like to learn more
about sailing, we'd love to teach you. For already
experienced sailors - hey, great! - come take
the helm and tweak the sails as much as you like!
"Adventure"
also applies to the sort of places we go and the
things we do. Each day we visit a different island
and try and do something "out of the ordinary".

Whether :
- Snorkelling among pristine coral reefs
- Sea Kayaking through ancient mangroves
- Exploring uninhabited islands or
