Sail Around the MIMAROPA
The scope of "MIMAROPA" embraces four of the most interesting island groups in the Central and Western Philippines: Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan. This page introduces MIMAROPA and provides some insight as to why it is considered to contain some of the most beautiful cruising destinations in the Philippines.
If one was to describe each island in the fewest words they would be: mountainous; mineral rich; diversity; and, endemic habitat. To be more informative then one would have to say that all four groups share most of the attributes that each excel in.
If you only have a couple of weeks available then choose just one island group because to enjoy them all could take you six months, or more.
Mindoro
The island of Mindoro is unique in many respect but primarily for the mountain range that runs North to South along the entire island. The forested mountain sides have offered shelter and home to indigenous species and also to migratory birds seeking warmer climbs during the northern winter.

Marinduque
The island of Marinduque is an island that is rich in copper and nickel deposits. Like most locations with such resources, there have been a few accidents during extraction. Today Marinduque bears a significant scar that somewhat diminished its attraction to visitors. Marinduque however, has other natural attractions that relate to it being at virtually the geographic center of the Philippine archipelago.

Romblon
The Province of Romblon has its capital in Romblon town that is located on Romblon Island. Every major island within Romblon Province, of which there are six, offers either diversity of nature or culture or history or endemic experiences, or a combination of all, to share with yachts cruising the Philippines.

Palawan
Palawan is actually a group of 1800 islands that collectively promote the concept of endemic habitat for all. Not only are some of the World's rarest species living here but Palawan is also home to generations of human that can trace their roots back at least 65,000 years.
