An eclectic mix of sublime beaches, beautiful national parks, and sunken shipwrecks, the boating places in Malaysia are a sailor’s dream. Often overlooked in favor of its northern cousin, Thailand, Malaysia possesses some of Asia’s best sailing grounds. With almost 1,000 islands surrounding its majestic mainlands, getting around by boat is the best way to explore its volcanic islands and pristine beaches and for indulging in excellent snorkeling and scuba diving pursuits.
