World Water Cruise Book

In all kinds of waters around the world you will find Yamaha outboard motors in use for both leisure boating and commercial use.
In this series we will introduce locations from around the world where Yamaha outboards are in use and the people who live and work there. Come join us on these virtual voyages.

The sea is the “oasis”
Kuwait, KUWAIT

Like other countries that border the sea in this region, the summers in Kuwait are scorching, with the sun raising temperatures to 40° and sometimes even 50° C. On top of that, fierce sandstorms assail the cities. In such a harsh climate, people love to head to the sea to escape from their daily lives and the intense heat.

Asian resort, the luxury of simplicity
Redang Island, MALAYSIA

There are a lot of resorts on a myriad of islands in the area from the Philippine Sea through the East China Sea, lying off the southeast coasts of the Asian continent, as well as in the coastal areas from Thailand down to Malay Peninsula. Facilities and personnel more than sufficient to enjoy the simple life are waiting for you with the superb and gorgeous ocean.

Freedom of the open sea around a fortress town
Cartagena, COLOMBIA

Colombia is a country with coasts on both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The city of Cartagena on the Caribbean attracts the most tourists of any city in Colombia. There are several marinas in the harbor full of motor cruisers and sailboats that add an attractive highlight to the modern cityscape. In contrast to the modern city, many of the resorts scattered along the peninsula retain an almost rustic simplicity and make this area a perfect destination for a two or three day cruising trip. We left the marina in Cartegena in a convoy of three boats and two personal watercraft and headed out to the islands of the southwest Caribbean Sea.

Blue oasis of Central Asia
Kapchagay, KAZAKHSTAN

Looking across the blue waters of Lake Kapchagay in the Republic of Kazakhstan, we see the Alatau range extending from the Tian Shan Mountains. In the clear blue skies of mid-summer its peaks are still graced with white snow banks. This lake is located some 80 km north of the old capital of Almaty. By car it is a trip of about two hours. Here we spend a holiday on the shores of this lake in the center of Central Asia.
