Cruising in the Andaman Islands from India to Thailand

A Journey Towards the Sun
Join us on the journey of your life and cross the Andaman Sea. Sail between Thailand and India’s incredible Andaman Islands and explore this unique archipelago. Ecologically, culturally, and for its pure beauty and remoteness, the Andamans are among the world’s most extraordinary regions. You will join dolphins and whales migrating across the open ocean. For the remainder you’ll discover paradise beaches and unique wildlife, swim with elephants, and visit the last remaining home of our Palaeolithic ancestors. While getting spoiled by your private chef.

A World Away
325 tropical islands covered in lush forest. Buzzling Indian village life, endless beaches and unspoiled wildlife without mass tourism. The Andamans are part of the great arc created by the collision of the Indo- Australian and the Eurasian plates, which runs from the Himalayas via Burma to the Indonesian island chain. This is where Arab, Persian, Indian and European merchants stopped on their journeys to Burma and further east. Various South Asian empires, the British and the Japanese had established bases on the archipelago to rule the surrounding seas but none of them lasted. It was so remote that it became the penal colony for Indian freedom fighters under the British. And in between all that, the world’s oldest indigenous tribes hold up against modernity.
Ptolemy and Marco Polo documented the isles as home to fierce manhunters and Jean-Jacques Cousteau dedicated a movie to them called “Invisible Islands”. Stories and legends aside: sailing the Andaman Islands combines everything you could possibly desire from an exotic and truly stimulating yachting destination.

Taste of Freedom
Commercial fishing has been banned around the Andaman Islands for more than 40 years: in these waters, fish now die of old age. 360 nautical miles lie between Thailand and the Andaman Islands and they are teaming with sea life. There is an abundance of dolphins, whales, dugong, sea turtles, sailfish, tuna, and other fishes and marine cultures. If you love nature, you should join us. We’re only sailing to the Andamans during the calm southeast monsoon, well-known for its dry, warm and pleasant conditions. Discover what freedom tastes like and sail across the big blue in the comfort of a fully-crewed catamaran. Whether you want to take the helm and navigate yourself or kick back with a cocktail while watching the dolphins – this is your dream time on the ocean.

Time travel across the sea
The Andaman Islands are key to understanding human history. Five tribal groups populate the islands, partly in complete isolation from outside influence.
Amazingly, their members are black and resemble African Pygmies. These people are direct descendants of the earliest humans to migrate out of Africa. Having lived in protective seclusion for at least 60,000 years (possibly for much, much longer), they form the only known Palaeolithic societies remaining on earth. How and when they arrived in the islands still remains one of today’s biggest unsolved mysteries. As one eminent anthropologist put it: the Andamans
are home to hunter-gatherers caught in a time-warp. One of the most secluded tribes are the Sentinelse, living on a small forested island called North Sentinel. They continue to resist all contact with the outside world. Their hostility to outsiders, though, is easily understandable, for the outside world has brought them little but violence and contempt. In 1879, for example, an elderly couple and some children were taken by force and brought to the islands’ main town, Port Blair. The colonial officer in charge of the kidnapping wrote that the entire group, ‘sickened rapidly, and the old man and his wife died.’
In the days after the 2004 tsunami, the Indian army sent a helicopter to the island to deliver water and food. A Sentinelese man rushed out on to the beach, aiming his arrow at the pilot in a gesture that clearly said, ‘We don’t want you here’.

From february to april 2017. 11 or 13 days Cruise. Join us on the journey of your life and cross the Andaman Sea. Sail between Thailand and India’s incredible Andaman Islands and explore this unique archipelago. Ecologically, culturally, and for its pure beauty and remoteness, the Andamans are among the world’s most extraordinary regions. You will join dolphins and whales migrating across the open ocean. For the remainder you’ll discover paradise beaches and unique wildlife, swim with elephants, and visit the last remaining home of our Palaeolithic ancestors.

Come arrivare

Come arrivare

Per il nostro tour delle isole Andamane, abbiamo pensato a due porti di imbarco e sbarco: Port Blair, capitale della provincia indiana Andaman e dell'isola di Nicobar, e Ranong in Thailandia.

Arrivo da Port Blair - Port Blair è ben collegata con svariate compagnie aeree che offrono viaggi giornalieri dal continente indiano. I voli durano circa 2 ore da Chennai e 3 ore e 20 minuti da Dheli.
Arrivo da Ranong - La piccola cittadella di pescatori Ranong nel sud della Thailandia è l'altro porto di arrivo e partenza. Ci sono svariati voli tra Ranong e Bangkok, pianificati dalla compagnia aerea Nok Air. L'aeroporto internazionale di Phuket è la scelta più conveniente ed è un luogo facilmente raggiungibile via aereo. Da qui si può raggiungere Ranong in auto, in una tratta panoramica di 3-4 ore.

Faqs

E' sicuro viaggiare nelle isole Andamane?
Si, ovviamente! Non ci sono conflitti nella nostra area di navigazione, e nemmeno pirati. C'è un lieve rischio di malaria per questo è consigliabile fornirsi di precauzioni come l'utilizzo del repellente per le zanzare e indossare pantaloni e magliette lunghe se si sta a terra la notte (cosa che difficilmente farete).
Cosa mi devo portare d'altro?
Non ti servirà molto. Porta i tuoi costumi, protezione solare, cappello, occhiali da sole, una macchina fotografica e sei praticamente apposto! E' utile portare anche il repellente per le zanzare e meglio considerare anche di prendere delle pastiglie anti malaria. Ricorda di fare un'assicurazione di viaggio prima di partire. A bordo non ti serviranno scarpe, ma puoi portare delle infradito o delle scarpe di tela leggera per le escursioni sulla spiaggia.
Quale stagione è migliore per visitare le isole Andamane?
Offriamo viaggi nei mesi di Febbraio, Marzo e Aprile. Ma la stagione dura in realtà più a lungo e inizia a Novembre.
Che temperatura aspettarsi?
Durante il giorno ci saranno circa 24-31°C. Le temperature dell'acqua si aggirano sui 26-29°C.
