Discover sparkling South-East Asia with your Sanlorenzo 460EXP

Mergui Archipelago, Burma

South East Asia offers beautiful and untouched cruising grounds and, thanks to the Sanlorenzo 460Exp’s 4,000nm autonomous range, you are free to explore them all. Start your adventure in Burma’s majestic Mergui Archipelago. Cruise through the enchanting limestone islands and meet members of the indigenous Moken tribe. The Mergui has been open to tourists for only the past decade and the Moken, the so-called “sea gypsies”, still move between the islands and survive by fishing.

Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Distance covered: 317nm

Cruise across the Andaman Sea to arrive at the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, famed for their pristine white beaches and crystal clear waters. The islands have a strong focus on developing environmentally friendly tourism and fortunately the Sanlorenzo 460Exp has excellent green credentials. It offers superb fuel economy, yet its engines produce just over 1,300 horsepower apiece. This is just one of the reasons that it is RINA Green Plus certified.

Similan Islands, Thailand

Distance covered: 682nm

Head south-east across the Andaman Sea to reach the Similan Islands, renowned for their world class diving. The Sanlorenzo 460Exp’s vast main deck means that it has space for a 10 metre tender – perfect for jetting off to discover secret diving spots. This is also a great place to make the most of the huge array of water toys that your Sanlorenzo 460Exp can carry.

Singapore

Distance covered: 1,290nm

After the serene solitude of the Andaman Sea, make your way to the vibrant atmosphere and soaring skyscrapers of Singapore.

Wildlife continues to be the theme at the next stop of this tour – in Sabah, Borneo.

The Sanlorenzo 460Exp’s modest 2.55m draught means that you can make your way up the Kinabatangan River to see proboscis monkeys, orangutans and, if you’re lucky, the Borneo pygmy elephant.
