Brunei Yacht Charter
Contact us here for a Brunei yacht charter. Brunei, officially known as the State of Brunei Darussalam is located on the northern coast of the Island of Borneo, in South-East Asia. It is a sovereign nation and the Sultan of Brunei has been among the richest men in the world. The popularity of Brunei tourism has increased many folds in the recent past as it offers all comforts and varieties required for a relaxing and unwinding Brunei yacht holiday. Luxury yachting is so far a rare and special treat in this part of the world and there are only a handful of superyachts available to charter here that pass through on any given year. On a crewed Brunei charter yacht vacation you can enjoy the dense rain forests, serenity of religious heritage and delectable food. The calmness of sea and beautiful beaches of Brunei provide ideal conditions for an exotic South East Asian yacht charterer.

Your Brunei Yacht Charter Vacation
The weather in Brunei is generally hot as it is located near the Equator and also the sea water is very calm here. This is the reason why many yacht charterers are attracted to this place to be a part of the exotic experience of yachting in this region. In the last couple of years, the luxury yacht cruises have gained popularity in Brunei as all the yacht charter companies have acquired additional fleets. This region’s uninhabited coasts and the absence of commercial ships or ports make it a great destination for water recreations. Many Brunei yacht rental companies provide super yacht or luxury yacht with a professional crew service.
The 35 km wide cruise along the Brunei bay is lined with myriad of white beaches, coral reefs and umpteen islands. The dawn of the Keraman Island is absolutely mesmerising. During the day you can indulge yourself in beachcombing, fishing, swimming, snorkelling and diving, while in the evening you can either enjoy onshore at the numerous clubs, bars and cafe or just stay on-board your yacht and relax under the stars. In short, you will never be disappointed on a yachting trip to Brunei.

Popular Holiday Attractions In and Around Brunei
As Brunei is an Islamic country you should not miss the beautiful age old mosques like Omar Saifuddin Mosque. This mosque is located in the capital city of Bandar Seri Begawan. If you are a gold lover then a visit to the Royal Treasurers Museum is a must, as it displays the coronation regalia of the monarch and other gifts offered to His Majesty. To enjoy the peculiar sight of a water village you can stopover at the Kampung Ayer. These are centuries old water villages built on stilts on the Brunei River.
Wasai Kandal, a forest area with beautiful waterfalls and pools is an excellent picnic spot, just 12 km away from Bandar Seri Begawan. You can unwind around the ponds and relish the delicacies of Brunei. Food here is very much similar to neighbouring countries like Malaysia and Singapore. You can enjoy mouth-watering Chinese dishes, toothsome Malay food and spicy Indian cuisine. Keep in mind Brunei is a dry country hence you won’t find alcoholic beverages on restaurants’ menu, though non-Muslims are allowed to purchase limited amount for their private consumption.
For those of you who love to get inspired by Mother Nature, drive 40 km southeast of Bandar Seri Begawan to Batang Duri and there are boats available to take you to Kuala Belalong Field Study Centre. It conducts researches on animal species prevalent in the rainforest.
One of the major attractions for tourists in any monarch nation is the palace of the Royal family. On your visit to the royal palace don’t forget to stop by at Pulau Ranggu, it is the home to a large settlement of proboscis monkeys. This place is located in the middle of the river and the tour on a water taxi provides an exalting experience.

Client Testimonials
What our clients say about their charter experience.
Dear Martha, We got back to New York last night and wanted to thank you for finding us such a great boat and crew. A top of the line sailboat, in great condition, between 80 and 90 ft, at the right price ( no more than this year, and less better) is our sweet spot and we may be interested in chartering again next year. It will only be the two of us again so that should be a plus for the charterer. Thanks again! V.H
Hi Trina, O’Mega – just lovely. The overhaul in 2011 has been tastefully done and many appreciated her glossy internal finish. Very well appointed and maintained. We were all very proud to be on-board her that is a definte! The Crew – what a group of professionals. They did an outstanding job. Yannis and Maria in particular were a huge help to me. Everyone spoke good English which encouraged general conversation and interaction with the crew. We all fell in love with Paulo the laundry fairy! The watersport team were very attentive and provided the appropriate instruction and guidance. So much so some guests tried some sports for the first time successfully. The guests very much enjoyed their time with the crew in all its forms. Charter on O'MEGA in Croatia, Jun
Dear Amanda, The yacht was fitted to a very high standard and in great condition. The crew were exemplary attending to our every needs whether requested or not. It was a great trip. What more can I say . Thank you so much for arranging this for us. My wife was very very happy.
Nick, we had a very nice boat trip in Komodo. Arie and his crew where amazing, we were very pleased with everything, food was great, water sports were great and very fun, the diving instructor was super, 6 of us got there PADI and are very proud. Also the masseuse was superb. Thanks a lot and if we will have another boat trip in the future we will surely think of you. Greetings from all the members of our family and many thanks.

Dear Josh, Thanks a lot for your kind help with the charter in Indonesia. When we got there, we understood how difficult it was for you to find a yacht there! Everything worked perfectly. Emi is the Treasure of Salila. That goes without saying. She was our good angel for the whole trip. And she was perfect in anything she did. She was amazing. The crew was also always friendly and ready to help! And we generally felt very well taken care of. The towable arrangements worked perfect! Exactly as I wanted :-) The diving courses: The ratio of instructors per capita was excellent! All the instructors were knowledgeable, enthusiastic and generally very pleasant people. We enjoyed our time with them. Diving there in Indonesia was spectacular! And Salila is very well prepared for anything related to diving! Alcohol arrangements worked perfect, thanks to Emi :-))))) The food was adequate, given the number of people, different tastes and the one-week-no-harbour travel :-) The boat quality. I would say it was a precise match for an expedition tour. Salila exactly met our expectations. It was not a luxury yacht, but we were not disappointed a single moment :-) Spacious, comfortable, honest, we liked it a lot! And two master-cabins worked sooo well!!! We had our parents and ourselves treated to those rooms, while other guests did not feel downshifted in any manner. So, overall that was a fantastic trip! We ticked all the boxes! - Deserted Islands – yes, - Island with the lake inside - please! - Volcano island - enjoyed! - Comodo dragons - two times - Manta rays - wow! - Hiking, beach combing, snorkelling, kayaking – super - waterfall jumping - yep! So the tour was really rather an adventure for the active people like us! We liked it a lot. Thank you once again. We really appreciated your advice and more and more relied on your opinion when choosing the boat. We will keep bothering you with our future requests. SALILA / Indonesia / July 10-23
Dear Trina - We had a wonderful trip on Contessa—will send you a copy of the recommendation we sent to Richard. We had quite rough weather, and it was impossible to fish at Anegada because the water was so roiled up from the storms. But Richard got us there and it was one of the high points of the trip. I also want to tell you that I appreciate the very professional and conscientious job you did in arranging the charter, vetting the boat (Contessa was everything we wanted—big, roomy, beamy, and very stable) and the crew for us, organizing the fishing licenses, etc. It was a pleasure to work with you/Charter World and assuming we decide to charter again next year will call you. Jim Kelley, Sailng Yacht Contessa, BVI, March
