The Myeik ( Mergui ) Archipelago, located in southernmost part of Myanmar, comprises of over 1000 gorgeous islands and covering an area of ten thousand square miles. These totally untouched and pristine islands have been closed to all foreigners until 1997.

With effect from January, 1997 Directorate of Hotels & Tourism issued the licenses to the yachting tour companies, who want to operate yachting tours around Kawthaung and Myeik Archipelago. Uptil now, 51 companies, mostly based at Phuket, Thailand have been issued licenses.

If the company owns more than 3 yachts, we will collect USD 300 per extra yacht.
