In the months of February to April every year, the Andaman Islands become a popular yachting destination for worldwide enthusiasts. During this time, a number of yachts sail to the Andaman Islands – most of
them from Thailand or other Asian countries. February & March are considered the best months for cruising in the Andaman Islands when the sea is calm and the weather is gorgeous. The islands have a unique appeal for being exclusive, remote & of course stunningly beautiful.
The Andaman Islands in the warm, tropical waters of the Indian Ocean are one of the world’s newest yachting destinations. These islands in the Bay of Bengal of the Andaman sea are territorially a part of India, but geographically closer to Myanmar or Thailand. After a 50-year period of virtual isolation from the outside world, the Indian government has made a decision to allow limited, environmentally conscious tourism development in the islands. Visiting the Andaman Islands really is a special adventure. Only 26 of these 576 islands are inhabited. Beneath the waves lie reefs barely touched and hardly seen by other divers.
Yachts & other vessels with foreign flags are permitted to come into the Andaman Islands for up to one month at a time. Sailing yachts, high end yachts, motor yachts & live-aboards all make their way here during the season months. The yachts offer activities such as cruising, game fishing, angling, scuba diving, or surfing.
Now for the first time, there is also an Indian yacht that is operating in the Andaman Islands – the Infiniti Live-aboard. The Infiniti is a brand new, high quality luxury live-aboard fully equipped for a very comfortable onboard stay and cruising. It is a 39m live-aboard vessel with four decks, 8 guest rooms, lounges & a full onboard crew. The Infiniti is specialized in scuba diving with state of the art diving equipment and crew; and does trips all over the Andaman Islands including remote destinations such as Barren Island.
Sunil Bakshi, founder & CEO of the Infiniti Live-aboard said,” We are getting divers from Europe, America, Middle East & other countries in this time period. The Andaman Islands are acquiring a reputation for their natural beauty and exclusivity. Not only are they beautiful & peaceful for just cruising but there is also amazing diving here, especially at the more remote islands like Barren, Sisters etc. We have encountered whales, Manta Rays, sharks, dugongs, dolphins, sting rays & more and the underwater visibility is incredible right now.”
The INFINITI is India’s pioneering scuba diving “live-aboard” – a passenger vessel fully equipped for comfortable & luxurious onboard stay and sail around the sea. The Infiniti is a brand new live-aboard that sets new global benchmarks for design, engineering and onboard facilities. It takes passengers to the doorstep of the best dive spots in the Andaman Islands waters including remote islands such as Barren & Narcondam.
The Infiniti features guest rooms with en-suite bathrooms, a kitchen, a diving platform, an indoor dining room and relaxation areas including a large sun deck, an indoor lounge & an outdoor lounge. The vessel has been built to IACS class and RINA certified to reflect its highest quality and standards.
Andaman Islands, off the coast of India, are emerging as the world’s new favorite dive destination. It features several unique diving attractions including volcanic diving, frontier diving, bioluminescent night diving, etc. The Infiniti Live-aboard facilitates peaceful & exclusive diving here for enthusiasts of the underwater world.
