Yacht Charter in Penang

Penang yacht rental

George Town is the bustling capital of the Malaysian island of Penang. The North West coast of the Malaysian Peninsula was once an important trading hub for the Straits of Malacca, renowned for its British colonial buildings, Chinese shophouses, and mosques. It is a multicultural melting pot. Beyond the old town, George Town is now a modern city with skyscrapers and shopping malls that still retains its older charms. In days gone by, it was the first port of entry for foreigners in Malaysia, so why not make Penang your first choice for yacht rental on your holiday in Malaysia.

Why rent a yacht in Penang?

The Penang Yacht Club marina is conveniently located in George Town. It has a moderate capacity for super yacht size boats and is well connected, accessible by sea, and close to the airport. With ample capacity for numerous sailboats, yachts, and speed boats, it offers an ideal setting to choose from different types of yacht rentals and boat charters. Within easy reach of the tropical, tax-free haven of the island of Langkawi and many other islands and national parks around the Peninsular coastline, Penang offers an abundance of short and longer sailing itineraries within Malaysia and to further afield to islands in Thailand. What better place for a holiday break with a historic yet modern city stay and a first-rate yacht rental to take you away on the dreamy blue calm of the Andaman Sea.

What are yacht rental prices in Penang?

Crewed yacht rental in Penang or a catamaran average rental price is around 5,000 USD per day. Take the hard work out of your day trip, make sailing life easy with a crewed yacht charter, the yacht rental prices are not much more than bareboat sailing and you can sit back, relax, sip on a drink and enjoy life at sea without any distractions at all. Speed boat rental prices average around 1,000 USD per day for the trip of a lifetime.

When is the yachting season in Penang?

Penang has an ideal location in the tropics with a delightful atmosphere. Yacht rental from Penang allows you to enjoy dry spells and stable weather for most of the year as it is located on the Malaysian Peninsula and covered by the Island of Langkawi to the West. There are two main seasons for yacht charter seasons in Penang; the South West (wet) or North East (dry) monsoon seasons that occur from May to October and from November to April. During wet monsoon, there is slightly more wind, which can make your yacht charter sailing even more fun, and during the dry season, there are lighter wind speeds that range from force 2 to 5 from the North East.

Penang yacht rental for a day

South of Penang and just a short distance from the Straits Quay Marina stands two iconic Penang bridges. A perfect yet undemanding way to cruise around the clear water close to the city sprawl. Monkey beach is another short sail along this pristine coastline, located in the Penang National Park. Monkeys mostly inhabit the beach but look-out for the green turtles and white-bellied sea eagles too.

Penang yacht rental overnight

The tax-free island of Langkawi is within easy reach of Penang by yacht. You can make it a long day trip but why rush, relax on holiday! Why not spend a leisurely day sailing to this archipelago, then you will have the whole evening to enjoy the sunsets across the myriad of islands. You could even go onshore on the main island for some vibrant nightlife and tax-free drinks mixed with an exotic dinner. As you head home to Penang, your second day will be full of great memories of your sail across the sparkling sea to the tropical paradise of Langkawi.

Penang yacht rental for a week

Yacht rental for a week (or longer), what a good idea! Crewed yacht rental average prices for a week should start from less than 10,000 USD depending on size, and if you are entertaining a VIP, the sky's the limit with many world-class high-end yachts to rent equipped with every luxury you can imagine and a crew to go with it. Penang offers convenient reach to a myriad of Islands in Thailand to the North, including Koh Lipe. If you miss the hustle and bustle of the city after a few days, go ashore at Phuket for a nightlife refresher.

Wedding yacht rental in Penang

Looking for the perfect setting for your wedding, look no further than a luxury yacht charter or a sunset cruise from Penang. To ensure that everything goes smoothly on your big day, why not charter a power catamaran with wide twin hulls that will keep you all on an even keel while you party with your family and friends afterward. There are plenty of day charters available to make it a day to remember in real style. Celebrate your wedding with a sunset cruise, soaking in the spectacular sunsets of the Malaysian Peninsula with a backdrop of historic George Town - what better memories could you wish for.

Penang  is still a little lacklustre but maintaining it’s quaintly and charming old school way of life. Most people coming here tend to experience a nostalgic feeling especially when they start exploring George Town. Walking down the old reminiscence streets like Acheen Street, Armenian Street, Muntri Street, Market Street all with individualist atmosphere is like stepping back in time. Within these enclaves there are a few exquisite building like the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Pinang Peranakan Mansion and Moorish like Kapitan Keling Mosque. Another spot worth visiting is the Clan Jetties, settlements built on silts by the shores. Away from the town is the famous pagoda in Kek Lok Si Temple at Air Itam, the reclining Buddha in Pulau Tikus and the Snake Temple at Bayan Lepas.

Some of the most famous beaches in Penang are Batu Ferringhi and Tanjung Bungah, both of which boast five-star hotels and beachfront resorts with breathtaking views.The clear waters are popular spots for a wide array of recreational activities such as parasailing, jet skiing, and windsurfing. If you prefer soaking up the sun in a more tranquil setting, there are plenty of remote and quiet Penang beaches such as Monkey Beach and Pantai Kerachut which is accessible by boat. Chartering a yacht would be the best way to see these places.

Straits Quay is Penang’s first and only seafront retail marina. Here, seafood brunch on the promenade is served against scenes of sailboats and emerald seas. If you intend to charter our yachts, they are berthed at this prestigious marina. Platinum Charters offers various charters for private and corporate functions. Whether it’s going to be a full day charter or just an evening champagne cruise, you will be awed by the lovely coast line of Penang.

Georgetown is a special place and well worth a stopover. It is slowly being submerged under high rise development, but there is still more than enough of the old town to see and really the best thing to do here is just wander around and poke your nose into shops and markets. The sights and smells of the predominantly Chinese community are everywhere from steaming soup and noodle shops to stalls selling market produce to stalls selling cheap radios to joss and incense shops to vast department stores. This is a prosperous community dedicated to the dollar of whatever origin.

"Big Nude Boat" offers a trip to "bare-adise" on a naked cruise from Florida

By Li Cohen

Updated on: May 2, 2024 / 8:20 AM EDT / CBS News

Like to travel light? One cruise ship soon to set sail from Florida is making sure all you need is the bare necessities – no shoes, no clothes but plenty of service. 

" The Big Nude Boat " will take travelers from Miami to the Caribbean on "an 11-day adventure back to Bare-adise," the website says. Setting sail from Feb. 3 through Valentine's Day 2025, the trip offers a "stress-free, clothes-free experience" during which up to 2,300 passengers can roam the ship in the nude while out at sea. 

"It's our pleasure to provide you with the luxury of deciding what NOT to wear," Bare Necessities Tour and Travel says. 

@cbsmornings Would you dare to set sail on a nude cruise? 🚢 Cruisebare's upcoming full-ship nude cruise, departing from Miami in February next year, is making waves. Even #TonyDokoupil is down to go. 🌊 #cruises #vacation #experience #miami #sail ♬ original sound - CBS Mornings

Passengers won't be allowed to be naked when the ship is docked, but can ditch their usual attire once they are anchored or out on the water. And when clothing is optional, standard nudist etiquette must be abided by, the website says. When sitting, nude passengers must either wear a thong or sit on a towel or some kind of fabric. And while the self-serve buffet on the pool deck is a clothes-free area, passengers must be dressed for all dining room meals – and no, bathrobes don't count. 

Photos and videos will also not be permitted unless all individuals being documented give consent. 

"The Big Nude Boat" is just one of the cruises offered by Bare Necessities, which says on its website that the company has been "working to break down the barriers against social nudity and make clothing-optional vacationing a viable and acceptable option for all." 

"Social nudity is not a sexual activity, and we strive to dispel the misconception that it is anything but natural and beautiful," the company says. "We have made strides in the acceptance of nude vacationing and our wide range of cruise charters are a testament to our success."

Nude cruise to set sail from Florida next year: Here are the starting costs, itinerary

The "Big Nude Boat" cruise, which allows passengers to bare all − yes, even at the buffet − is set to sail from Florida next year.

The "11-day adventure" to the Caribbean is set for the first two weeks of February on the Norwegian Pearl, according to the Bare Necessities Tour & Travel website.

"Bare Necessities’ newest nude cruise is a private island double-dip with a brand new travel partner!" the company wrote on its website.

The trip which embarks from Miami, includes "an exclusive visit to an idyllic private island" in The Bahamas as well a another exclusive stop on the way back to the Port of Miami.

"Two opportunities to enjoy a new slice of Bare-adise, coupled with a beautiful selection of Eastern Caribbean island stops, will make this a can’t miss Big Nude Boat experience," the travel company posted.

Big Nude Boat cruise sailing dates and destinations:

The ship departs from the Port of Miami on Feb. 3 and returns to the same port on Feb. 14.

The itinerary includes stops at the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, Dominica, Martinique and St. Lucia.

How much does the Big Nude Boat cruise cost?

Rates for an inside cabin start at $2,000 per person.

They stretch as high as $33,155 for the top room on the ship: a Haven three-bedroom garden villa.

Laws of the land (and sea)

Guests are encouraged to park their bare behinds on towels provided on board in areas including the pool deck and the buffet area, according to the website.

"Passengers can easily follow our rule on nudist etiquette by always placing a towel down before sitting," it reads. "Remember to pack a swimsuit; not all excursions are clothing optional."

An ultra-luxury cruise line wants to attract wealthy Americans with its all-inclusive 'yachts' — see what the new 128-guest ship will be like

• Ultra-luxury cruise line  Emerald Cruises says its third ocean ship will debut in 2026.
• The all-inclusive vessel, which Emerald calls a "yacht," would accommodate up to 128 people.
• Emerald, known for river cruises, has been investing more in its ocean-based business.

Over the last few years, the mass-market cruise industry's larger-than-life mega-ships — outfitted with loud waterparks and more dining options than you could eat in a week — have dominated the spotlight.

But in the ultra-luxury cruise market, it's been the opposite. The smaller and more exclusive the vessel, the better. So much so that Emerald Cruises' next ocean-based ship, launching in 2026, plans to accommodate no more than 128 travelers.

It's a far cry from Royal Caribbean's new 7,600-guest cruise liner . And the price difference is just as steep: almost $250 per night on Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas versus more than $720 per night on the upcoming ultra-luxury Emerald Kaia.

"When people think of cruising now, they automatically think of these large ships ," Robert Castro, the vice president of marketing for Scenic Group, Emerald's parent company, told Business Insider. "There's a market for that, but we're in a unique position."

If you’re familiar with river cruises, Emerald might ring a bell.

The cruise line, owned by Scenic Group, only offered river cruises for its first nine years.

But lately, its biggest growth and investments have been in oceans, not rivers.

In 2022 and 2023, the Switzerland-based company launched its first two ocean cruise ships, which it calls "yachts." Each accommodates a maximum of 100 guests . And so far, they've been hits, with the cruise line experiencing record-high bookings in 2023.

Yes, the ships look like yachts. And yes, they're marketed as such.

But because Emerald's vessels operate group itineraries, they still technically count as cruise ships, albeit really nice ones.

So instead of paying hundreds of thousands of dollars a week to charter a yacht, as is traditional with these high-end vessels , travelers can spend less than $800 a day for a traditional cruise on said yacht-like ship.

While it's not nearly as exclusive, it sure is a hell of a lot cheaper, "bringing the charter yacht experience to reach for people who would never even imagine," Castro said.

Emerald’s upcoming 393-foot-long, 128-guest Kaia would be perfect for fans of small, high-end ships.

The 64-cabin Emerald Kaia would have a larger guest capacity than its two predecessors but would still be tiny compared to most cruise ships, including some of the most luxurious ones.

Regent Seven Seas' new Grandeur can accommodate 746 guests, while Ritz-Carlton says its next ship will sail up to 448 travelers.

Even Four Season's upcoming vessel — with fares up to $350,000 a week — would have a larger guest capacity of up to 222 people. However, it would be almost 290 feet longer than Emerald Kaia.

Like traditional cruise ships, Kaia would have amenities like a spa, two lounges, and three dining options.

The top deck would also have a cabana and bar-lined pool, one of three swimming holes on the ship.

But unlike its mass-market competitors, Kaia would have an open-air marina that would give travelers direct access to the water.

Water platforms are typically only common on yacht-marketed ships, such as Emerald's, Ritz-Carlton's, and, someday, Four Seasons'.

This means guests on the upcoming Kaia could dip in the Mediterranean, Adriatic, and Aegean seas — as is included in its 2026 and 2027 itineraries — without disembarking the ship.

According to the cruise line, Emerald Kaia's future itineraries include an 11-day sailing from Cyprus to Greece and a 20-day one from Seychelles to Kenya.

Its cheapest itinerary is currently an eight-day roundtrip Seychelles vacation in 2027, starting at $5,055 per person.

As an all-inclusive cruise line, amenities like alcohol, WiFi, and excursions would be included in the base fare. However, unlike all-inclusive competitor Regent Seven Seas , guests must pay for their flights to and from the ship.

To compare, itineraries of the same length on Regent's Seven Seas Grandeur and Ritz-Carlton's Ilma would be $36 cheaper and $120 more expensive, respectively, per day.

But the fares aren't stopping travelers from gravitating toward Emerald. Before it unveiled Kaia, its parent company announced a record number of bookings in January — up 67% compared to its previous record in January 2020.

Castro said about 20% to 35% of its guests are American, typically well-acquainted with luxury travel.

The company's goal has been to increase its number of American customers. So far, it's working and is now "on track to be Emerald's No. 1 market," Castro told BI.

The new vessel is being built at a great time for the cruise line.

Strong demand, compounded by a small fleet of small ships, has led to fewer available cabins for its upcoming summer Mediterranean cruises.

Several of these sailings are now fully reserved. The cheapest remaining fares start at $4,570 per person for an eight-day November sailing from Athens, Greece, to Dubrovnik, Croatia.

It's great news for Emerald as it considers a future with more ocean "yachts." "The sooner we fill the ships, the sooner we start building new ones," Castro said.
