Sailing Sri Lanka

Sailing Sri Lanka

Sailing in Sri Lanka is a year round affair thanks to different coasts experiencing sunny, dry weather and calm waters at different times of the year. Whether you’re looking for just one cabin or to charter the entire yacht (catamaran) what better way to see the beautiful bays, fishing villages, towns and archipelagos of the Pearl of The Indian Ocean than with Sail Lanka. We’d recommend spending an additional week or so exploring the rest of the island. Have a look at our Classic Sri Lanka Tour or our Summer Months Sunshine for inspiration.
