Yacht rental in the Philippines
The Philippines is a name of the large island country. The catamaran rental in the Philippines is an eventful adventure for an experienced yachtsman. No other country has such a variety of waterbodies, nature, and culture fusion for the holiday on a sailing yacht. Why?
1. The Philippine archipelago is the second by size in the world. It consists of 7,600 islands. Due to the volcanic activity in the region, the number of islands is growing. The archipelago is washed by the Pacific Ocean and by 12 seas. The Sulawesi, the Philippine, the South China are the outer ones. The Negros, the Samar, the Palawan, the Mindoro, the Panay, the Leyte, the Sulu, the Cebu seas are interior.
2. The central and southern islands are highly recommended for a cruise if you charter a boat in the Philippines. Here, the weather is perfect, the sailing season is windy. From May to November, the south-west monsoon blows. In the north, the tsunami and the typhoon could occur at any time of the year.
3. Dozens of yacht clubs and marinas with the developed infrastructure are functioning here. The main point where they are collected is the island of Luzon. In the capital, there is the Manila Yacht Club & Marina, considered one of the poshest world yacht clubs.
4. The local yacht rentals is a good idea for the water sports fans. There are the excellent conditions for:
- diving (every island has its own lures, for example, the legendary park “Puerto Galera”, situated on Mindoro);
- surfing (the World Cup stage is held annually in September on Siargao).
5. Mostly, the sights can be reached only by sea. It means the catamaran charter in the Philippines is of high demand. For example, such sights are the virgin nature of the uninhabited islands with the exuberant jungle wilds and the ancient temples, located in the most remote corners of the country. To top it off, there is a variety of “urban” landscapes from the skyscrapers with the megalopolises to the villages with a tribal way of life.
