This time our guests came from the Andaman resort. They originally wanted to go on a motor yacht but I managed to convince them to go with us. Of course our sailing boat has a strong engine – 90 horsepower, excuse me! Often the wind in Langkawi comes either from the wrong direction or we have no wind at all; in other words we have to use the engine anyway.

The Bon Ton gave as a call a few days ago and asked if we would be willing and capable to take a family with 5 little children. Of course this is no problem at all for us and we always see a chance to make future captains out of the little ones and to open their eyes for the beauty of being on the water with a yacht, especially in Langkawi.

Today I met an English lady that I met first about a year ago. She lives here on the island since a couple of years, built her own house and enjoys her life.
When I had met her the first time, she told me that she was in the process to built 3 little houses to rent them out. Her place is ready now and I think it is a great value for money! The garden is still in work but I would say that this place is a very nice alternative to a normal resort.

The following post has been written by Lesley, an English friend that loves Langkawi since many years. Read her own words about “her” island! Eva
Friends,
After Baskie’s lovely post, I thought I would try to sum up Langkawi from my own PERSONAL point of view as a tourist. This is a short version and here goes:
I first developed “Langkawi-itis” back in 2002 after an extremely difficult year from a personal point of view. The personal problems have been easier to cure than the “Langkawi-itis” which returns, as I do, every year.

A few weeks ago we received an inquiry from Sonya, a girl living in KL. She told us, that she was organizing the wedding for some of her friends. For the last day of their stay in Langkawi, the couple wanted to invite their guests for a luxury cruise. They opted for the Yacht SABRINA and booked the yacht for 4 hours.
We decided to get the catering for the party done by Alex. He runs the Tapas Bar at Telaga Harbor and definitely is a professional when it comes to catering on yachts.

After living here all these years, we are still moved by how beautiful the sunsets are in Langkawi. To give you a taste of it, we have put together a 3-hour sunset cocktail cruise aboard the lovely Damai Indah–and it’s guaranteed to soothe your soul.
We will cast off from the scenic Telaga Harbour, and from there we will pamper you with a non-stop flow of quality wines and a delicious selection of tapas (Spanish appetizers).

We are happy to announce that we have an office at the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club in Kuah by now!
If you come by car, you just drive to Kuah, the little, charming capital of the island. Follow the signs to “Jetty Point” and then just follow the road further up and you will see the Yacht Club on your right side. In case you come by taxi, tell the driver to take you to the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club. Our office is right opposite of East Marine Divers.

Isn’t it a wonderful feeling when our time and hard work pays off?
I spend a lot of time writing for Tripadvisor (www.tripadvisor.com), especially in the Forum, and I’ve had a number of people contact me privately after reading them. In fact, I’ve even held a couple of tours with some of them on chartered yachts. It is indeed a great way to get to know other people and get the Blue Water Star Sailing (BWSS) network to become stronger. Three ladies that had contacted me via Tripadvisor have become my friends. They are Jill and Claire from

As I live on my own boat since March 2000 and here in Langkawi since November 2005 you would expect that a person like me would not come to the idea to charter and pay money to go on any other boat. But I did so just a few days ago.
I wanted to go around the island Tuba again to see some property that are for sale. And to go there I wanted a speed boat and combine the tour to with the chance of exploring new territories for our own tours and have a relaxed day for myself for a change; I had been working hard during the last few months and deserved a day off.
