Philippines gay cruise Join us on this unique HOT BuOYS gay sailing cruise from Palawan, Philippines to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia! Puerto Princesa is a coastal city on Palawan Island in the western Philippines. It's a base for boat trips through the massive limestone caves and underground river of the biodiverse Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. Dive sites are dotted around Puerto Princesa Bay, home to long-nosed dolphins, turtles and rays.

Balabac is one of the hidden places in the Philippines that's worth a spot at the top of your bucketlist. These remote islands are located in the often skipped southern half of Palawan.

Kota Kinabalu is the capital of Malaysia’s Sabah state in the northern part of the island of Borneo. Often referred to as KK, it’s a coastal city partly surrounded by rainforest. It's known for its bustling markets, modern boardwalk, beaches and waterfront Kota Kinabalu City Mosque. It is also a gateway to Kinabalu National Park, the home of 4,095m-high Mount Kinabalu.

Philippines to Thailand gay sailing cruise map

This is the first leg of our Philippines to Thailand gay sailing cruise and we sail from the city of Puerto Princesa, Palawan to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.

Day 1 , September 30, 2018
Arrive in Cebu, Philippines
We sail from the city of Puerto Princesa, Palawan. However, we must first all meet in the City of Cebu on Cebu Island. The reason is there is a chance immigration may need to take your photograph when they stamp your passport. The vessel must clear out of Cebu, since the vessel cleared into Cebu. The good thing about this is you get a chance to see two of the most popular cities in the Philippines.

Arrive Cebu Mactan airport (CEB). Take a taxi to the Big Dreams Residences Hotel where we will all meet for dinner.

Day 2 , October 1, 2018

Notes: Before you are allowed to board a plane to the Philippines, you may need proof of an airplane ticket leaving the Philippines. Unfortunately, it is one of the costs today of travel by private boat and even yacht owners are not able to escape it without official letters from immigration. Suggest buying a cheap ticket on Air Asia from Cebu (CEB) to Kota Kinabalu (BKI) about 6 months out. It should be the least expensive option. If you are not continuing on the trip after Kota Kinabalu please make your reservations to leave after 5 pm on October 10, 2018 to allow for weather delay or delay in paperwork upon entry.

Hot Buoys Philippines gay sailing cruise

Asia gay sailing trimaran

It’s big! On the sea, size matters.
• Length: 22 meter (65ft)
• Width: 12 meters (40ft)
• Gross registered tonnage: 70 ton
• Anchor: 70 kilos
• Engine: 150 HP

So what do the numbers above mean? More room for you, and a more pleasant ride. We can even put a pool on deck and invite 50 guys from shore for a party.

Hot BuOYS gay sailing yacht

The pilot house and salon down below comfortably protect the maximum 8 guests that we allow per trip. Two king size bunks and 4 single bunks. Every bunk has a cooling fan as well as reading light. We have 900 watts of solar to power the watermaker and your laptops.

Captain Philip does not claim this is a luxury yacht. Instead it is a comfortable cruising vessel. It has kept everyone safe, well fed, and showered, across the Pacific. Safely arriving is of course the primary goal. It also nice not to be hungry or smell like a sailor.

If the winds are low, please be assured there is an adequately sized engine to power us to our destination. The engine is kept in top notch condition with a full set of spares.

The decks are white and insulated. This means the vessel is almost always nice and cool even in full sun. Additionally, the temperature is regulated with fans and evaporative coolers.

Hot BuOYS gay sailing crew - Captain Philip and Noli

Captain Philip purchased HOT BuOYS SV in 2009 and has sailed her 1/2 across the Pacific as well as to and from Thailand several times. He knows every square inch of the vessel and would be happy to teach you as much or as little of the vessel operation as you would like to know.

Thailand gay sailing cruise

Noli and Captain Philip have been sailing together for the past four years and look forward to welcoming you to their floating home on the sea. Depending on the trip, there may be one or two additional crew members to assist in the galley, and to keep the vessel clean.

Abanico Yacht Club

Certainly, everyone likes fine dining. There will be opportunities when we are staying at a yacht club like the Abanico Yacht Club pictured above. Please be aware that when a sailboat of this size travels for an extended period of time, meals have to be kept simple and wholesome out of necessity. This said we will attempt to surprise you with what we can do with our full size galley including an Italian oven. If you want to try your hand and prepare a meal, by all means, tell us so we can shop for the ingredients.

Philippines nude gay sailing cruise

We don’t advertise this as being a “nude” gay trip. The reason is there will be times and places that nudity is acceptable, and where it is not acceptable. Further, some countries frown upon nudity. Captain Philip is a gay naturist. He certainly has no problem with nudity. Noli, his husband, loves his fancy underwear. Just don’t expect to see them off. He is a bit shy.
