Explorer yachts are built for exactly the kind of cruising that Myanmar demands: remote anchorages, shallow reef passages, and the freedom to range far from marinas and provisioning stops. Myanmar’s Mergui Archipelago, stretching across more than 800 islands along the southern Andaman coast, is one of the last genuinely frontier charter destinations in Asia. An explorer vessel brings the range, tender capacity, and self-sufficiency to make the most of it.
The explorer fleet for Myanmar carries extra fuel, substantial water-making capacity, and tenders suited to beach and reef exploration. Guests typically number six to twelve, housed in three to six well-appointed cabins. Crew are experienced in passage-making and will often have specific route knowledge in the Andaman and Bay of Bengal.
Weekly rates for explorer charters in Myanmar start at around 45,000 Euros and rise to 390,000 Euros for the largest, most capable vessels. The advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covers fuel, food, and any specialist guide or dive equipment hired locally.
The northeast monsoon, running from November through April, provides the most settled conditions for the Andaman coast. Visibility underwater reaches 20 to 30 metres at its peak, drawing divers and snorkellers to the reefs around Lampi Island and the outer archipelago.
