Boat rentals in the Philippines
Are you planning a South-east Asian trip? You’ve found the best spot! In the Philippines, Yachtco offers a wide choice of yacht rentals, making it easier than ever to discover these magical islands by sea.
The Philippines is an archipelagic nation of islands located in the magnificent Pacific Ocean in Southeast Asia. It contains over 7,000 islands and islets about 500 miles off Vietnam’s coast. You will discover a rich past here, a fascinating community of beautiful people, delicious food, incredible sights, and, of course, a stunningly beautiful island environment just waiting to be explored by you.
And like other stunning seaside destinations around the world, the wondrous Philippines have no better way of meandering than by renting a yacht.
If you’re a seasoned sailor or just dipping your toes in the sea, using Yachtco’s website to find your perfect yacht rental is convenient and straightforward. In the Philippines, we sell regular motorboat rentals.
Benefits of regular rental of a cruise
In the Philippines, we sell regular yacht charters that offer you the opportunity to charter a boat. A four- or six-hour rental is ideal if you want to spend the middle of your day snorkeling or traveling locally by sea. And if you’re going to spend an entire day exploring the islands, the best alternative is an eight-hour rental.
But no matter what, we strongly suggest speaking with the our rental representative of the boat you are interested in and discussing your trip plans. On your Philippines adventure, you will get ideas about what to do, let the boat representative know what you are most interested in experiencing, and get tips for your visit.
Top spots to explore
Although you can get plenty of ideas by messaging the boat representative about what to do on your visit to the Philippines, we thought we would give some of our top places that you should make sure you check out during your South Asian adventure.
It would help if you went snorkeling around the incredible islands of the Philippines, no matter how much experience you have. We suggest snorkeling around El Nido at the north end of Palawan Island, Bohol Island, and Puerto Galera for some great sea life amid crystal clear seas.
We suggest visiting Danajon Reef as well. This is a terrific must-see spot on your private charter yacht. It stretches between the islands of Cebu and Bojol for about 90 kilometers and has plenty of beautiful scenery to keep you occupied for hours. It’s a beautiful place to stop for a while, smell the ocean, and be a must-see for any visit.
Finally, we highly suggest going to Carabao Island for some beautiful beaches, cliff jumps, and sunsets. The scenery here is fantastic – like on a postcard, the island itself might be sufficient. On your trip to the Philippines, this is a perfect place to relax and unwind.

With its crystal clear seas, white-sand beaches, and thousands of islands waiting to be explored, the Philippines’ beautiful archipelago is the ideal place for sailing and cruising.
The archipelago of the Philippines is the second-largest in the world. It is made up of more than seven thousand islands of various sizes and types.

Two official languages exist, Filipino and English, respectively. Filipino is based on Tagalog, the country’s main dialect, which, like Spanish, consists of numerous dialects and even languages. For almost 350 years, this country has been a part of the Spanish empire, so Spanish names are prevalent in this region.
The best time to charter a yacht in the Philippines is from November until the end of April, with predictable winds and temperatures ranging from 28 to 30 C (80-86 F). The local “Tagin” summer runs from March until late May. This is the Philippines’ hottest time of the year. In May, the “habakat” of the southwest monsoon season arrives, bringing humid weather and heavy, gusty winds. This season lasts between June and November.
The Philippines can be divided into three major regions: the northern part-the capital of Manila is located in Luzon; the middle part-the Visayas, where the main tourist attractions are, and the southern part of the country, next to Borneo, is located in Boracay, Bohol, Palawan or Coron.
Sailing holidays can be very varied in the Philippines. For example, for those who are looking for fun and busy nightlife, Boracay is a great destination, Sibuyan offers fantastic nature, Sibale is an excellent place for peaceful, personified rest.

Getting to Philippines
With some direct flights to Manila from the West Coast of North America and Australia and some direct flights from Amsterdam, there are various routes to get to the Philippines.

Flying to Cebu is a decent choice for direct access to the islands, with several regional airlines flying to smaller airports. Chartering a yacht to sail to the islands outside the Philippines is also possible on some of our larger yachts.

With the wet season running from May to October, the Philippines has a hot, humid, and tropical climate. The dry season is the time to visit and lasts from November to April, with cooler and excellent travel in January and February; March, April, and May may get very hot, hitting temperatures of up to 36 degrees Celsius! Typhoons can occur periodically in the Philippines, but they are far more likely in June or July at the beginning of the wet season.
