Indian Ocean motor yacht charter

The Indian Ocean is a vast region, and different parts of it experience varying weather patterns. In the northern part of the Indian Ocean, such as around the Maldives or Seychelles, the best time for sailing is during the winter months, from November to April. This period corresponds to the northern monsoon season when the weather is relatively dry and stable, and the winds usually blow from favorable directions.Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia are popular year-round sailing destinations, as the wet season (June to October) can be quite humid and rainy with stronger winds, but there are no typhoons in the area and only mild seasonal monsoons. The best time for sailing in these destinations is during the dry season (November – March), just like in the Emirates, but here the other periods are not recommended in this area, because the summer months are extremely hot and humid, and sandstorms often occur.
