A yacht charter on the West Coast of Thailand is like a yachts mans' favorite dream
The Andaman sea west of Thailand offers you exactly that:
thousands of dream islands in largely unspoilt tropical waters,
ranging from Langkawi (Malaysia) to the south,
up to the Mergui Archipelago (Burma) to the north,
covering 500 nautical miles of coast line
including the world famous limestone islands of Phang Nga Bay directly east of Phuket Island.
Your yacht charter starts in Phuket. A rather well-developed part of Thailand and a perfect holiday destination. It has all the amenities you need and still has all the colourfulness of exotic and surprising Thailand.
How does a yacht charter in Phuket compare with a land-based vacations?
Much better: total freedom and variety in a perfect setting.
Your own personal yacht charter offers you the variety and flexibility that you will not easily find with land-based resorts. You will see beaches and views that you can not see from the shore and in many cases that you cannot even get to. Each charter is totally customized to your requirements,:
no set departure dates and no fixed schedules which you have to adhere to
there are no strangers you have to share your holiday with
you will have anchorages and beaches to yourself when you choose to
you can visit village, bars and resorts from the yacht
The yacht is many things at once: your hotel, restaurant, bar, swimming pool, favourite lounge place, all in a perfect marine setting. And if you wish to go to the next destination: you and your group can decide where to go and when to go, the yacht is yours.
Enjoy a Yacht Charter Phuket
Dive and sailing
What can be nicer than combine the two?
Combine your Phuket sailing and diving holiday on one of the sailing yachts.
Cruising along to your sailing destinations, you will pass many great dive sites in Thailand and Burma/Myanmar .
Sail at your leisure and when the reef looks tempting, stop for a dive or two to explore the underwater world as well.
Diving is offered to beginners and experienced divers.
Many yachts can offer dive instruction from a few introductory dives to a complete PADI dive course at different levels.
Sometimes you wonder. Kids get easily bored and if they don't like it, well... they don't like it, right?
Going on a charter with kids is as easy as visiting Disney-land: they love it! Swimming, snorkelling, exploring caves and waterfalls, scurfing, kayaking, always going places.... no time to get bored. We know, we've done it, many times!
What is a typical day on our Yacht charter Phuket? Relax, Relax, sunbath, sail and discover Phuket, Krabi, Phang Na bay, Phi Phi, or even go further to dive on the Similan islands, or Surin groups and of course you can also freely snorkel, play cards, read, eat great exotic fruits, enjoy Thai and International food, or a body massage. Scuba diving or fishing expeditions can be arranged while others may prefer sailing, snorkeling or going ashore for village exploration, cross-island hike or a day at the spa or night partying.
