Sailing Thailand - Phuket to Phuket

Amazing cruise: serene and stunning destinations, lots of activities but also ample time to relax, great cultural immersion, and absolutely outstanding crew and guide.

Phuket Sailing Adventure

I had a great week exploring the islands around Phuket - the weather was perfect, scenery stunning and felt very lucky to experience this all from a sail boat rather than the crowded day tripper boats! Bruno and the rest of the crew looked after us well, the food exceeding my expectations (still not sure how our cook managed to produce the meals she did from the tiny galley kitchen!) although I think the first half of the week was better than the second. I enjoyed the itinerary, it was a great mix of relaxation and heading off on the kayaks and paddle boards or snorkelling - having all of the equipment on board was a definite highlight. We seemed to depart from the planned itinerary a little, but this wasn’t a problem. All in all would definitely recommend.

Sailing Thailand - Phuket to Ko Phi Phi

Mr. A balanced the expectations and desires of a diverse group to ensure that we had a really fulfilling itinerary. He was a fun and engaging participant in most of our activities, and also helped everyone feel confident that the trip was being managed well.

Sail Phuket to Ko Phi Phi

I thought the trip was amazing and I will definitely be booking another trip similar again. I have also recommended it to many of my friends. The only disappointment regarding the trip was the guide. As he was fairly new he didn’t give any history about any of the islands we visited as his knowledge was very limited. I feel if it was a local guide they would have a better understand and knowledge of the spots we visited. This by all means didn’t ruin the trip. I can’t wait to book my next one!

Sailing Thailand - Ko Phi Phi to Phuket

Amazing trip! Really chill and relaxed. Excellent crew, really friendly and supportive. We had a fantastic time up there.

Sail Ko Phi Phi to Phuket

Pleasant. Don’t expect any sailing, it’s motorboat catered for tourists who want to relax, suntan and read a book and eat lots of good food. The wind wasn’t always there to be true but even when it was we had a scheduled tour so not many tourists were up for it so captain has to follow itinerary. It’s a bit sad as the boat crew are all very seasoned sailors who just make a nice little cruise for the middle aged. It’s 2 and 1/2 days not 4 as advertised. Main company is Intrepid and they have so many safety rules, makes you feel like a child in a holiday camp. I had a good time but definitely I’d like to try a proper sailing boat next time.

Whether you are looking for the ultimate party scene or prefer a more relaxed and tranquil island vibe, Thailand has a whole host of magical locations for you to explore and experience on your yacht charter. To make it a little bit easier, we have compiled a list of some of the best places to visit:

Andaman Sea (Phuket, Phang Nga, Phi Phi Islands, Krabi, Tarutao National Park) Best for : festivities, yacht regattas, luxury resorts, secluded white-sand beaches, rocky monoliths, volcanic seascapes, hidden turquoise pools, world-class diving, whale shark spotting, 

Gulf of Thailand (Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Ang Thong Marine National Park, Pattaya, Koh Chang, Bangkok) Best for : full-moon parties, five-star resorts, waterfalls, diverse wildlife, tropical rainforests, hiking, fantastic diving, secluded coves

North Thailand (Similan Islands, Surin Islands) Best for : scuba diving, fishing, nomadic inhabitants, tropical jungle, crystal waters, ranger-protected areas for tortoises

A Thailand yacht charter vacation offers a mesmerizing selection of things to see and do. Here is our small selection of some of the most outstanding:

• Wat Tham Suea (Tiger Cave Temple) : located north of Krabi. This Buddhist temple is a sacred site, accessed by a steep flight of stairs to reach its summit where the views alone are worth it. 
• Maya Bay, Phi Phi Le : made famous by the Leonardo di Caprio movie The Beach, where powdered sugar-white sands fringe a utopian turquoise lagoon.
• The Big Buddha, Phuke t: located on the west coast, this vast white-marbled statue is perched upon the hills looking out over Ao Chalong Bay, and can also be viewed from the water.
• Ko Poda : a tiny Andaman island encircled by coral white sand and emerald green waters, great for anchoring in its shallow waters and swimming or snorkeling straight off the yacht.
• Nong Nooch Tropical Garden, Pattaya : head inland to experience the 500-acre botanical garden, which is also a major scientific center dedicated to cycads, tropical palm-like native plants.
• Tarutao National Marine Park : consisting of a group of Arcadian-esque islands in the Straits of Malacca, to the south of Thailand’s Andaman Sea, which also hosted the American reality TV series, Survivor.

Thailand’s vast scattering of islands means that there is something to suit everyone; from modern bustling cities to deserted paradise retreats. The region is also ideal for diving enthusiasts, notably the islands of Koh Samui, Surin and Similan, which are widely considered to yield some of the best dive sites in the world.

Phuket on the Andaman Sea is a major superyacht hub, drawing visitors to its golden shores, and is also ideally situated close to Myanmar, Malaysia and the Indonesian archipelago which opens up another world of charter itinerary options.

Thailand has a rich past with evidence of rice cultivation and bronze casting dating back over 5,000 years. Modern Thai’s have their ancestral roots in Southern China, whose people mitigated over between the 10th and 13th centuries. 

A succession of tribal groups, notably the Khmers, established powerful kingdoms, with the kingdom of Ayutthaya becoming the dominant tribe from the 14th century. After a series of conflicts over the centuries with the Burmese and their subsequent expulsion by national heroes Taksin and Chakri in the 18th century, the Chakri Dynasty was established, with Bangkok as the main capital. Chakri became Rama I, the first king of the Chakri Dynasty, which has held power to this day.

As well as its beautiful islands and swathes of beaches, Thailand is widely known for its exquisite silk products and popular dishes such as Pad Thai and Tom Yum Goong, with seafood, tofu, lemongrass and coconut milk being the main ingredients.

Thailand’s religious, political and cultural ideas have also been influenced through its proximity with South Asia which have been instrumental in the development of Thailand’s culture and national identity we see today, with Buddhism as the major religion.  

With its ever-increasing popularity as a yacht charter destination, Thailand has plenty of yachts available for charter that should more than suit your needs. If you’re unsure about whether you want to book a motor yacht or a sailing yacht charter for your Thailand getaway, there are a few things you should consider first.

Motor Yacht Charters in Thailand

Motor yacht charters  are a fantastic way to explore all that Thailand has to offer, and with the extra punch that you get from the high-powered engines, you can cover much greater distances in a shorter amount of time, allowing you to get the maximum out of your yacht charter.

From large superyachts to sleek smaller models, and everything in between, there is sure to be something to suit your needs.

Sailing Yacht Charters in Thailand

If it’s a more tranquil and serene experience you’re after, then perhaps a sail yacht  might be the best fit; allowing you to kick back, relax and enjoy the view. The northwest monsoon during the months of November through to March offer light to moderate north-easterly winds, fantastic for sailing around your chosen destinations. You should note though there may be greater wind inconsistencies either side of these months.

Catamarans are also a very popular choice in Thailand, offering greater stability, ample space and larger cabins, as well as being perfect for navigating the shallow waters and picturesque lagoons.

With a good array of options available, there’s something to suit every type of budget. For convenience we have listed the average prices for motor yacht and sailing yacht charters in Thailand below;

• For motor yacht rentals in Thailand, prices can range from $69,000 to $1.6m per week, plus expenses
• For luxury sailing yacht rentals in Thailand, prices average around $65,100 weekly, plus expenses

In a bid to boost its burgeoning status as a international superyacht hub, The Royal Thai Government has removed the Value Added Tax charge levied on all foreign-flagged yacht charters, welcoming yachts to cruise its waters throughout the season.

Thailand is a year-round cruising destination with temperatures ranging between 25-35 degrees. There are two distinct seasons in Thailand which run concurrent with its northeast and southwest monsoons.

The northeast monsoon is the most favourable for yacht charters as it is generally drier and the winds tend to be more predictable. This season runs from November through March, which coincides with the northern hemisphere winter.

The best conditions for sailing can be found in the Andaman Sea region, which experiences light to moderate winds, with drier conditions and cooler temperatures.

Thailand has some of the most high-tech marinas in South East Asia, boasting a multitude of fantastic amenities and facilities.

For yacht charters in the Andaman Sea on Thailand's east coast, you'll find plenty of options. Phuket, Thailand's main yachting hub, offers 4 marinas:

• Royal Phuket Marina - Centrally located, and home to the King's Cup Regatta. It has 100 berths for yachts up to 144ft (35m) in length.
• Yacht Haven – a quiet and sheltered marina located in the far northeast of the island. This marina has 320 berths and caters for yachts up to 100+ meters.
• Ao Po Grand Marina – a great launching post to the spectacular Phang Nga Bay. It offers 300 berths and can also accomdate large yachts up to 100+ meters.
• Phuket Boat Lagoon – located on the island's north-east coast, and boasts the monika 'Phuket's Most Lively Destination Marina'. It has 180 berths for yachts of up to 120ft (32m)

Marinas outside of Phuket include:

• Krabi Boat Lagoon – located on the mainland, only 15 minutes from Krabi International Airport, it has 80 berths that cater to yachts of up to 80ft (24m) in length.
• Royal Langkawi Yacht Club, Malaysia – with easy access to Thailand's waters on the Andaman Sea. This marina is perfectly equipped to handle superyachts, with 205 berths catering for yachts of up to 197ft (60m).

• Racer Marina, Hua Hin – located on the west coast of the Gulf of Thailand, has 120 berths.

With thousands of miles of coastline and countless islands there are plenty of lovely yacht anchorage spots to be discovered in Thailand. Some of the best can be found around the myriad lush islands in the Andaman Sea. 

For yacht charters commencing in Phuket, there are some gorgeous anchorages to be found, especially along the west coast, including Patong Beach , Karon and Kata . The busiest anchorage is at  Ao Chalong , which incidentally is the only place you can register to cruise outside the borders of Thailand. Located on the south-west peninsula of Phuket you’ll find Nai Harn , one of the most beautiful havens on the island.

Other recommended anchorages in the Andaman Sea;

• Phi Phi Don, Ton Sai Ba y: located on the south side of the two islands. If you prefer to avoid the crowds, the north side is quieter. You can anchor at Phi Phi Le however the water is deep, and the bays are usually quite busy with tour boats.
• Phang Nga National Park:  some easy anchoring can be found in between the sheer rocks. Another splendid anchorage can be found off the east side of Koh Hong.
• Koh Planak:  a popular anchorage spot for exploring the spectacular caves.
• Krabi : there are two good anchorages on the north and south sides of Koh Hong Krabi, plus a pretty anchorage at nearby Koh Pak Bia, off the west coast.
• Koh Lanta:  the best anchorages can be found in the bay at Klong Dao Beach in the north and Kantiang Bay in the south.
• Koh Rok National Park:  you can find good anchorages between the islands, equipped with mooring buoys, but take care as the waters are quite shallow.

Further afield, you will find some of the most sublime anchorages can be found in the Surin and Similan Islands  to the north and Tarutao National Park, near the Malaysian border, to the south. 

With more than 80 islands to explore in this region, there are plenty of magnificent anchorages to be found in the Gulf of Thailand:

• Koh Chang Archipelago:  National Park with over 50 tranquil islands and plenty of spectacular anchorage spots.
• Ko Mak:  an island located to the south of Koh Chang, where there are some lovely anchorages to be found, especially in the northwest. 
• Ko Kut:  Further south lies the breathtaking island of Ko Kut, where you can jump off and hike or kayak to the stunning Klong Yai Ki waterfall.
• Ko Samui:  for an energetic buzz, head to this beautiful island and drop anchor in some of the lovely bays around here, although it does tend to get busy, especially around Christmas and New Year. The southern end of the island is quieter. Head across to Koh Pah Nyang and tie up to a mooring buoy right on the beach.
• Ang Thong National Marine Park: an absolute must for those cruising the Gulf of Thailand, with the most sheltered anchorages found off the bay at Koh Ang Thong.

• Credit cards are only accepted in the large resorts. The Thai Baht is the local tender used throughout the kingdom.
• Both the Surin and Similan Islands in the northern Andaman region are closed to visitors from May to October during the southwest monsoon season.
• Thailand experiences two high tides per day ranging from half a meter to just over three meters which you should be mindful of, especially in some of the marinas.
• Avoid daytrippers around popular hotspots by arriving either first thing in the morning or late afternoon when they all head back to their resorts.
• For sail yacht charters, you'll find optimum sailing conditions tend to be during the evening and in the morning, with winds dying off in the afternoons, especially during the northwest monsoon season.

Andaman Sea

Lying just 8 degrees north of the equator, with clear emerald waters, deserted beaches and world-class diving, the Andaman Sea is a popular year-round destination for yacht charters.

Most yacht charters begin on this vibrant island, which boasts four marinas, a plethora of luxury resorts and spectacular night-life with live music and international DJs, along with an array of beautiful secluded beaches and lagoons. It is no wonder this island has become the superyachting hub of the Andaman Sea.

Anchor off the exquisite Nai Harn Bay, located on the southwest peninsula , and watch the sun set into deep verdigris waters. The next day, head north to Karon beach , where you can grab a bite at Mom Tri's Boathouse , with its extensive wine list and delicious Thai and western dishes.

Asia's biggest and most popular one-week sailing event, the King's Cup Regatta,  is also held annually here in Phuket, attracting the world's glitterati and yachting elites – definitely not an event to be missed!

Phang Nga Bay and Phi Phi Islands

You can't deny the unbelievable beauty of these islands, clustered around the Ao Phang Nga National Park . Their majestic elegance is unrivaled anywhere else in the world, where limestone cliffs climb vertically out of tranquil cerulean waters.

The National Marine Park boasts unspoiled powder-fine beaches, hidden lagoons and mangroves, perfect to explore by kayak. Take the long tail boat over to Gypsy Island , a floating village built on wooden stilts. 

Head south towards Koh Hong , where you can discover secluded beaches only accessible by tender, before moving on to the Phi Phi Islands : one of the most famous locations in Thailand. 

About a 20 minutes cruise from Phuket, you will find the islands of Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Le, characterized by sheer cliffs, stunning beaches and sultry jungles. Phi Phi Le is also home to Maya Bay , the ravishing white-sand beach lagoon made famous by the homonymous Hollywood film. Both islands are interconnected by a sandy isthmus where you will find Ton Sai Bay , a lively hub for restaurants, shops and bars and the beating heart of this small archipelago. For something a bit quieter check out Monkey Bay , a beautiful sandy promontory, abundant with wildlife and tropical birds.

If you're looking for a little extra luxury on your travels, then pay a visit to the islands of Koh Yao Noi where you can treat yourself to a heavenly massage in one of the luxury resorts. Don't miss a trip to Koh Yao Yai , a tiny island, otherwise known as James Bond Island, where they shot scenes from Man with the Golden Gun.

Head to Krabi for amazing snorkeling and diving around beautiful coral reefs where you can discover over 200 species of fish, as well as a host of resorts and good rock climbing areas around the headland.

If it's more serious diving you are after, then cruise south to the remote tiny islands of Hin Daeng and Hin Muang , respectively known as Red Rock and Purple Rock, so-called because of the vivid soft corals that cling to each vertical underwater outcrop. Here you will find shimmering shoals of trevally, redtooth triggers, reef sharks and big morays, as well as the majestic whale shark. Purple Rock is Thailand's highest underwater vertical wall, representing a slightly more challenging dive, especially for novices.

Another must-see destination are the Surin and Similan islands to the north, a beautiful group of islands that offer some of the most superlative diving in the world, thanks to their series of underwater volcanic seascapes, including  Richelieu Rock . This coral-covered pinnacle, located 10km east of the S urin National Park , is undoubtedly one of the most incredible dive sites in Asia, where you will find an abundance of fascinating marine life, such as barracuda, frogfish, manta rays, octopus and whale sharks.

Gulf of Thailand

Bordered by Cambodia , Thailand and Vietnam , the Gulf of Thailand on the kingdom's east flank has always been a popular destination for backpackers.  However, with its surfeit of paradise islands, resplendant national parks and exquisite powder-fine beaches, not to mention fantastic diving, excellent cruising areas and international transport links, this region is fast becoming a popular region for yacht charters too.

Ang Thong Archipelago

Koh Samui is the largest and most popular island in this beautiful archipelago, characterized by dense mountainous jungle, coral reefs, coconut groves and picturesque white-sand beaches. It is also a great base from which to explore the Gulf and boasts a range of luxury five-star resorts and entertainment.

Head north to the beautiful palm-fringed Koh Phangan , Koh Samui's sister island famous for its full moon parties which attract thousands of tourists every month.

Explore the jaw-dropping  Ang Thong National Marine Park , a group of 40 heavenly islands, offering fantastic sailing, exotic beaches and tucked away turquoise-blue lagoons.

Koh Chang Archipelago

Located on the east of the gulf, the Mu Joh Chang National Park is a breathtaking archipelago where you will find everything from hiking trails and waterfalls, to sandy beaches and exquisite aquamarine waters hosting an abundance of tropical marine life. Visit the largest island Koh Chang , also known as Elephant Island, which is covered in steep lush jungle rainforests, unearthly waterfalls and a host of native wildlife, especially monkeys! There are also some fantastic diving opportunities around WWII wrecks nearby.

To the north, you'll find Pattaya , a popular mainland destination and home to the Ocean Marina Pattaya , Thailand's largest marina. Here you can enjoy everything from boutique shopping, deluxe spa treatments, vibrant bars and clubs, along with plenty of tranquil sheltered bays perfect for anchoring.

To the far north in neighboring Myanmar you will find the breathtaking Mergui Archipelago , an untouched paradise characterized by pristine white beaches and dense jungle rainforests. There are 800 or so islands to explore, however the destination is so exclusive visitors will need to arrange a permit before they arrive.

This location is completely off the grid, with no WiFi reception to be found anywhere – your cue to switch off, lie back and soak up the tranquility and primitive beauty of this stunning region.

Also in the Andaman sea, you will find the lovely island of  Langkawi, located in northwestern  Malaysia, bordering Thailand in the south. This island is a popular destination for yacht charters and boasts several marinas, including Royal Langkawi Yacht Club . There are also a number of exclusive resorts on the island, as well as a raft of watersports, entertainment and excellent dining options. 

Thailand is a popular yacht charter destination, especially during the winter season, therefore we recommend that you book your yacht charter well in advance of your trip to secure your perfect yacht. It is also useful to book early in order to secure a date when everyone in your charter party is available as the longer you leave it, the more challenging this will be. 

Your yacht charter broker will also need plenty of time to tailor an itinerary to suit you, including securing any nights that you wish to spend in marinas. Advance booking will allow your broker the optimum time to organize everything down to the last detail to ensure your yacht charter goes smoothly.

Thailand Yacht Charter Q&A

Thailand is a year-round cruising destination which enjoys average temperatures of around 25-30 degrees. However, the best time to visit is during the northeast monsoon season which occurs between November and March.

The Andaman Sea region on the west coast also tends to experience more drier and cooler conditions, with light to moderate winds making for optimum cruising.

There should be plenty of yachts to choose from that suit both you and your budget when booking your Thailand yacht charter.

Before you book, be mindful of the additional charter costs, such as berthing, fuel, VAT, food and drink and crew tips, which are not included in the base rate.

Some of the popular hotspots can get very crowded with day trippers, so arrange to visit these areas either first thing in the morning or late afternoon when they return to their hotels.

The Surin and Similan Islands are closed May to October during the southwest monsoon season.

Winds tend to slack off in the afternoons, especially during the northeast monsoon season, something to consider if you are booking a sailing yacht for your charter.

Most yacht charters tend to begin in Phuket, located on the west coast in the Andaman Sea. The island is a renowned superyacht hub which boasts several marinas and reliable international transport links, making it the perfect place to kick start your yacht charter. Explore the breathtaking Phang Nga Bay, the exquisite Phi Phi Islands and the sublime Surin and Similan Islands in the north.

For yacht charters on the east coast in the Gulf of Thailand, you can fly into Bangkok or to the smaller islands such as Koh Samui where you can meet your yacht before heading off to explore the regions plethora of paradise islands, white sand beaches and incredible national parks.

Thailand has a wide array of yachts to choose from, whether you are looking for a motor yacht, sailing yacht or catamaran. Thailand has become one of the most popular winter destinations to charter, so we do recommend booking well in advance in order to secure your perfect yacht.

Alternatively, please speak with your yacht charter broker , so that they may help you book your ideal yacht and preferred dates for you and your charter party. 

After you have decided on your perfect yacht, your yacht broker will then prepare a legally binding contract for you to sign, which is a standard agreement with conditions set by the terms applicable to the destination. 

MYBA (Worldwide Yachting Association, formerly known as Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association) is the most widely used for yacht charters. 

This "plus all expenses'' contract means you will be required to pay for additional items such as fuel, food and drink, taxes and dockage fees on top of the base charter fee. Typically, guests will incur around 25-30% additional expenses, which are paid upfront, along with 50% of the base rate at least one month prior to your yacht charter. 

Please visit our yacht charter costs explained page for more information.

Yacht Charter in Thailand

Thailand yacht charter

Thailand is the bustling sailing hub of Southeast Asia. Offering the most stunning, vast stretches of coastline and unparalleled tropical beauty, Thailand has become a sailing playground for superyachts from around the world. With year-round perfect sailing conditions, hundreds of smaller islands nearby to each other, the possibilities for yacht charters in Thailand are endless. There are two famous regions for yacht charters in Thailand: the southern Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. Both offer spectacular natural scenery, peaceful sailing grounds, sheltered bays, and the most ideal weather perfect for cruising.

How much to charter a yacht in Thailand?

There is every imaginable type of yacht in Thailand for a yacht charter. Whether you are a couple in search for a romantic tropical getaway, or a group of friends wanting to enjoy endless parties on deck, or a family looking for the most memorable holiday in Thailand, there's a yacht perfect for your needs. A 40-foot, 3-cabin catamaran for two people on board can coast around $4,200 for seven nights, while a 47-foot sailing catamaran with four cabins can cost about $5,000 for a week's rent. Additionally, a 134-foot, 5-cabin motor yacht can cost around $120,000 for seven nights for ten people on board.

What are the most popular yacht holidays in Thailand?

Two regions in Thailand offer the most popular and most visited by yacht enthusiasts: the islands and coast of the Andaman and the Gulf of Thailand. Let's start with the more popular sailing ground, which is the Andaman Sea. Phuket is the jewel of the Andaman, and it's the most famous island in Thailand. Millions of tourists worldwide visit the island each year for its rich culture and history, and the breathtaking natural beauty surrounding the islands on the Andaman. Yacht charters in Phuket have plenty of options for itineraries, which include Phang Nga Bay, a World Heritage Site, and teeming with smaller islets made of limestone that seem to rise from the sea and into the sky.

With emerald green waters, pristine white beaches, and a plethora of secluded coves, bays, secret beaches, and caves, Phuket and its seas are genuinely a playground for water worshippers. Yacht charters can hop from one island to another in the archipelago of Ao Phang Nga National Park, with lush mangrove forests, limestone pinnacles, and hidden coves on the coast. Or they could head to the beautiful and famous Phi Phi Islands, with breathtaking views, powder white sand beaches, and all the shades of blue in its crystal clear waters. Other popular cruising spots include Krabi's islands, with over a hundred to explore, and the world-class dive spots of Similan and Surin Islands.

On the other side of Thailand, the Gulf of Thailand's coastal towns and islands offer a different atmosphere. More laid-back, rustic, and charming, the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Tao, Koh Chang, and the Ang Thong National Park are the most famous cruising spots for yacht charters. Koh Samui is world-famous for its laid back atmosphere but also home to million-dollar villas and 5-start mega-resorts. It's the second most visited island in Thailand but offers a more family-friendly and romantic appeal than Phuket's crowded and tourist spots. Ang Thong National Park, a protected nature reserve, features 40 islands to explore, with each one being close to one another. Other notable cursing destinations in the Gulf of Thailand include Koh Tao and Koh Chang.

Where to go on a luxury yacht charter in Thailand?

Being the sailing center of Southeast Asia, Thailand features luxury yacht charter destinations that offer a plethora of luxury yacht itineraries to choose from. Phuket is the top spot for luxury yacht charters in Thailand, with two world-class marinas: the Yacht Haven Marina, and the Ao Po Grand Marina, offering luxury services and hundreds of berths. Phuket also plays host to international regattas, such as the Phuket King's Cup Regatta, Asia's biggest and most popular regatta. The Phuket International Boat Show also happens once a year on the island, where some of the world's best superyachts are on show.

The seaside resort city of Pattaya is another luxury yacht destination in Thailand. Close to Bangkok, this city is a favorite weekend destination for locals, offering beaches and nearby islands to explore. It is also home to the Ocean Marina Yacht Club, another world-class marina in Thailand. Pattaya also plays host to The Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat Show, another event in Thailand where superyachts from all over the world are showcased. While Koh Samui doesn't have a marina, the islands offer many safe anchorages for luxury yachts to drop anchor.

Koh Samui has become a favorite for luxury yacht charters because of its popularity with the rich and famous. Offering luxury villas, resorts, spas, and indulgent experiences, superyachts have made their way to Koh Samui and called it home during the country's dry season of November to April. Thailand's magical islands and calms seas offer perfect sailing conditions in Southeast Asia. And with bustling tourism infrastructure, luxury villas, and resorts found on the coast, it is no wonder yacht charters are one of the best ways to enjoy an authentic Thai holiday.

Yacht charter in Thailand

An amazing combination of pristine nature, modern pace of life and best traditions of Buddhism is the cornerstone that attracts sailors to this country from all around the world. If you dream about unforgettable yacht charter, it should be in top of your list.

Located right in the heart of Southeast Asia, this country is surrounded by the Andaman Sea on the west side of the Malay Peninsula, and the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea on the east side. Until  1939 it was called Siam, which means "freedom.” Bordered by Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar, Thailand is the only country in Southeast Asia that has kept its independence through the years. As a result, the  traditional lifestyle that has been intact for centuries has been left  almost unchanged. Well known for peace and calmness, the Thai people will make your sailing vacation even more pleasant.

Geographically, Thailand can be divided into 5 distinct regions, but  the southern peninsula of Malay and the eastern part of the country are of the most interest to sailors.

Thailand is washed with two oceans – Pacific on the eastern part and Indian in the western part, Thus while sailing, you may expect moderate breeze, clean tropical waters, number of safe moorings  and anchorages. You definitely will not find here number of equipped  marinas or harbors, but on every mooring or anchorage you will easily find some cozy local restaurant, water supply or grocery store. While Thai cuisine and the hospitality of locals will definitely bring only positive vibes.

Gulf of Thailand boat rentals

Eastern part of country covers several provinces including Trat, Chantburi and Rayong. On the southwest, it reaches the Gulf of Thailand, and it borders Cambodia to the east. The rugged coastline is bordered  with rocky islands and covered with lush green forest. While sailing, you will see many rivers flowing south to create large mangrove forests, followed by pristine white sand beaches. The east coast is very popular for its resort areas, but few sailors know about  the more secluded yacht charter opportunities in Koh Chang.

Sailing in Koh Chang

The Koh Chang yacht charter base is located only 194 miles (312  km) from Bangkok and offers excellent access to the mostly untouched cruising grounds. Being the second largest island in the country (after Phuket), a Koh Chang sailing vacation is a perfect combination of emerald waters, white sand beaches and pristine jungle, waterfalls and stunning lush landscapes. Koh Chang means “elephant” in the Thai language. A fitting name for an island that is shaped like a giant sleeping elephant.

Phuket yacht charter

Phuket is the largest island in Thailand, and is located near the west coast in the Andaman Sea. The east coast of Phuket offers the finest cruising grounds, with easy access to 39 different islands. Discover towering pinnacles of limestone when sailing in the sheltered waters of Phang-nga Bay, set sails to see the famous Phi Phi located to the south of Andaman Sea, or the many beautiful locations in the province of Krabi. Make an offshore trip to one of the National Parks located in the Siliman, or Suring Islands, one of the most famous diving sites in the world.  

The kind and hospitable people will make your sailing vacation and boat rentals in Phuket even more pleasant and memorable.

Best time for yachting in Thailand is from November to April. During this period, the weather is not too hot and there is quite a  small amount of precipitation. However, tropical climate and no typhoons make sailing in this region comfortable and safe all year round.

But even though, we recommend to choose the right time for travel. Favorable  conditions for navigation along the eastern and western coasts are from November to April. If you are looking for some extreme sailing conditions, you may go to the west coast from May to October, during the monsoon season. From November to April the weather is ideal for sailing both on the west and east coast of Thailand. From May to October – is the season of the southwestern monsoon. At this time, it is better to avoid the western waters but there are dozens of different sailing itineraries from the main yacht charter base located on the island of Phuket.

Sailing tips

Phuket is gaining growing popularity among sailors of different levels. It offers great coastline, quite simple navigation and a large choice of sailing itineraries of different duration. So, all this makes Phuket the best starting point for bareboat yacht charter.

This place is so popular that on top of three comfortable yacht marinas, two more were opened in the recent years. One of  the main advantages of Phuket sailing area is that gives you miles of emptiness and relaxing solitude free from big cruising ships.

Sailing grounds

There are two main directions of routes for yachts charter vacation – eastern and western. To the east of Phuket is the Phang-Nga Bay, where the famous Panuk and Hong islands are located. Also, you should pay attention to the James Bond Island, Krabi and Riley Beach, famous among rock climbers. The western shore of the island of Phuket is washed by the waters of the Andaman Sea, which is part of the Indian Ocean. The Similan and Surin are located 100 km northwest of Phuket and included in the top ten places on the planet for scuba  diving. Even further to the northwest are the Andaman Islands, known for their pristine natural beauty, incredible fishing and diving.

During your travel along the bay, you should definitely admire the network of amazing grottoes, caves and tunnels of Koh Panak. Landing from a yacht and having moved to a kayak, you can admire the hidden lagoons and mangrove forests that are in the center of the island.

In this direction is also the island of Krabi, famous for its snow-white beaches and emerald jungles.

During your sailing vacation, it’s worth visiting Phi Phi, a part of the marine national park. Here you will find closed lagoons, calcareous cliffs of striking height and much more.

A smaller Phi Phi Leh, was formed by limestone rocks. In this regard, the water around the island has acquired a unique turquoise hue. Although it is considered to be uninhabited, you can still find lots of interesting things to explore. Famous Viking cave with a picture of an ancient man, numerous swallow nests collected by locals as they considered to be kind of a delicacy.

Koh Hong considered to be one of the most fabulous islands in Krabi area. Here you may take your time and relax contemplating white sand beaches, hidden lagoons with shallow waters beaming with exotic fish. While on the anchorage take a kayak, and explore nearby caves. Up in the sky you will see sea eagles gliding in circles searching for prey while looking down you will find emerald bottom decorated with numerous starfish.

Bareboat charter will give you a chance to visit Koh Pannyi – a sheer rock, with a small fishing village near it built on wooden and concrete piles. Here, among mazes of huts you will find small colorful craft market as well as some bars and restaurants offering variety of fresh sea food dishes from the catch of the day.

It is hard to believe, but there is only one policeman in charge of the island, and couple of years ago there was even no electricity. An  interesting landmark is a football field built by schoolchildren directly on the water. There are no hotels, but you can spend the night on your boat or catamaran on a safe anchorage nearby.

Your next sailing destination is Koh Poda, covered with lush palm trees and surrounded by white beaches. A few meters from the beach there is a coral reef: here you can go snorkeling and admire the diversity of the underwater world.

The other island nearby is Koh Kai – a rock that looks like head and neck of a chicken. Part of it consists of steep rocks, and the opposite shore has beautiful sandy beaches. During strong tides this peninsula is partially flooded.

Phang Nga Bay will amaze you with its unusual, almost mystical beauty. A distinctive feature of this place are steep rocks, protruding vertically from emerald green water. The bay has the status of a marine National park.

Thailand offers great opportunity to combine yacht charter with diving. A lot of coral reefs, as well as a variety of underwater terrain provide unlimited opportunities for diving. Here you have a unique opportunity to meet whale sharks. The best period for diving is November-May. Visibility in water can reach up to 50 meters. Similan Islands are the most popular among divers. Phuket Island in the Andaman Sea is famous for deep-sea fishing and trolling. So, do not forget to rent a fishing kit and you’ll  have a great chance to catch tuna, barracuda, sailfish, marlin and other exotic fish.

Thai Cuisine

Thai cuisine is largely determined by the climate and culture of the country. Tropical vegetation and the proximity of the sea caused widespread use of various fruits, spices and seafood.

Also, migration and contacts with other peoples affected the ways of cooking. For example, the homeland of Thai tribes is mountain settlements in the southeast of China (modern provinces of Guangxi and  Guizhou). Between the 6th and 13th centuries these peoples migrated to the southern lands, where today Laos and Burma are located. Naturally, all this affected culinary preferences. Local  cuisine is a mixture of Chinese and Indian cuisine. Culinary traditions of these countries have had the greatest impact on the formation of local gastronomic predilections.

There are no strict cooking rules in Thai cuisine and taste of any dish depends not only on the set of products and spices, but also on the  personal style of the chef. Very important for Thai cuisine is the balance between food, spices and side dishes. For example, fried chicken with chili is combined with a soup of bitter melon with pork.

Rice in Thai cuisine is the most important product, it’s like bread  in Europe. And if the other dishes are served warm or at room temperature, the rice should be hot enough for you to see a steam.

The second main product is noodles: thin rice (kuaytiao sen lek), thick and nourishing (kuaytiao sen yai), yellow egg (bamee).

Thais eat little, but often. When serving the table, they do not use knives (all products are cut into small pieces). Finish eating usually with fruits. A favorite drink of Thai people is cold water (naam yen).

The main principle of local cuisine is to achieve a balance of five tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and poignant. Various ingredients are used for this purpose.

The two most characteristic of these are curry-based sauce and coconut milk. All kinds of sauces are considered a delicacy, their use depends on the type of dish or meat type. The most famous are kaeng massaman (includes cinnamon, peanuts and nutmeg); kaeng kheow waan (sweet and very hot sauce with greens); kaeng karee (served  with potatoes).

An important nuance of the culinary traditions is the aesthetics of the dish. Making a filigree decor of vegetables and fruits (carving) has become a kind of art here.

All Thai dishes can be divided into four categories:  quick-and well – fried or steamed dishes, as well as soups; spicy dishes – salads or fried dishes with different amounts of spices, often with  the addition of coconut milk; salads – vegetable mixed with meat, the taste can be sweet, and sour but always spicy; cooked vegetables – usually sour, although you can meet them with a sweetish flavor.

Culture & traditions

In Thailand, you will find a wealth of nature perfectly combined with  ancient history, culture and traditions. There are hundreds of islands, beaches, coves and capes. While planning your sailing vacations  Thanks to tropical climate, beaches with  pristine white sand, crystal clear waters, excellent coral reefs and wonderful palm trees. Add to this the friendliness of the Thai people, their magnificent culture and wonderful cuisine. No wonder in recent years it became one of the most popular sailing destinations in Asia.

This country has a long history. And during your sailing trip it may open some of its secrets. Over the long years of existence, the inhabitants of this country honor not only the monarch  and the state charter, but also Buddhist norms. That is why in almost  every part of the country you will meet small churches and chapels with centuries of history. There are a few tens of thousands of them all over the country.

Local people call their home a “land of freedom”, because “thai” means freedom, and it’s not just a coincidence. It is the only country in South-East Asia that has preserved its independence from European states, while all neighboring countries were once colonies of Great Britain or France. This helped to keep its intact beauty and uniqueness.

The main sailing area for yachting is the Andaman Sea, but if you want to get more acquainted with the historical monuments of the  country, then the best choice will be the Gulf of Thailand.

Fans of nightlife should go to Bangkok and Pattaya. Discos, go-go bars, nightclubs every evening are filled with people looking for entertainment. Loud music, bright neon lights, noise and talk of passers-by create a specific atmosphere here.

An important part of Thai culture is traditional music. The Thais also attach great importance to the theater. Modern art (cinema, music)  is very popular too.

An integral part of the way of life of the Thai people is the elephant. In the past, these animals were used in battles, transportation of trees, and today elephants mostly entertain tourists. The image of an elephant can be found even on the Thai flag. Worth  visiting is the island of elephants Koh Chang.

While sailing do not forget to visit at least one the 80 national parks and 32 nature reserves. Khao Yai National Park is the most visited park in country. For those who like to watch birds, it’s  worth going to Doi Suthep National Park, Doi Inthanon, or to Khao Sam  Roi Yot Park in the south. There is the last preserved rain forest in the Khao Yai National Park, which is one of the best parks in the world.

A Guide to Sailing in Thailand

Thailand ’s yacht-charter scene sets sail from the county’s largest island: Phuket . Pinch yourself – because the topaz waters in the surrounding Phang Nga Bay stay warm all year round. The best news? Thailand has over 1,400 other islands scattered across miles and miles of ocean – and only a handful are inhabited. The rest are the domain of macaque monkeys and Andaman parakeets. Make one of them your home from home as you sail around Thailand and its many islands.

What to See and Do in Thailand

Coral Island – a short sail south of Phuket – does what it says on the tin. Anchor offshore beyond the reef for snorkels with nudibranchs and lionfish. Seeking solitude? Coral Island hosts just one rather fancy resort – after day-trippers return to Phuket, the island’s three beaches are all yours.

Shop for far-out souvenirs in the warm night air at Phuket Old Town’s Chillva Night Market. The bazaar’s vibe is boho bling where you’ll find street eats, handmade jewellery, fried insects, silk textiles and cold beer, flogged from repurposed shipping containers.

The Best Mooring Locations in Thailand

Royal Phuket Marina is by far the hottest yachting hub in Thailand. The harbour hosts restaurants, co-working spaces and regular regattas – plus scores of yachts from single-day explorers to 35m (114ft)-long superyachts. It’s little wonder the marina holds the prestigious 5 Gold Anchor Award from the Yacht Harbour Association. Need a mooring? Call VHF channel 79 or book one of the 100 berths online. As Phuket is the yacht-charter capital of Thailand, you’ll find dozens of tiny marinas, restaurant tie-up docks and yacht-friendly islets nearby – such as Ao Po Grand Marina, which leads directly onto the northern islands of Phang Nga Bay and the safe anchorage of Ao Chalong on Phuket’s southern tip.

Where to Eat and Drink in Thailand

Phuket sits at the cultural crossroads of Thailand. The island has welcomed Chinese, Malay, Portuguese and French influences – with each group imparting their recipes, too. Dishes are generally laden with seafood, pork and Thai spices. These include gaeng som , a sour tamarind curry with fish paste and o-aew , a thirst-quenching jelly dessert containing watermelon and shaved ice. Among the most polished addresses is seafood at the Trisara Resort. Expect a Michelin-rated medley of market-fresh amberjack paired with fresh greens from the restaurant’s organic garden – all elevated into time-honoured “Thai Mama” recipes. Rawai seafood market isn’t for the faint-hearted, however – point-and-order at thousands of bubbling aquarium tanks containing giant clams and tiger prawns. An adjoining restaurant will fry up your seafood purchase.

Where to Get Groceries in Thailand

Villa Market near Royal Phuket Marina is where yachties shop for at-sea essentials and cocktail treats. Every international bite – from Bertolli olive oil to Alpen muesli – is readily available from 9am to 9pm.

Key Annual Sailing Events in Thailand

The King’s Cup Regatta – which takes place in Phuket each December – is the most prestigious in all of South East Asia. Count on up to 100 big boats competing in a week of fast sailing around the southerly islands of Phuket. These include Koh Lon – a secluded beachy gem where swings dangle from coconut trees.

Climate and Weather in Thailand

Gentle tides, warm winds and a sandy seabed render Phuket as Thailand’s year-round cruising destination – where the dry season from November to April is best for novice sailors. Northeasterly winds promise dry spells and gentle breezes, although sunny days become scorching by April. More serious sailors select the wetter season from May to October. Southwesterly monsoons usher up to Force 6 winds, with rainy squalls followed by intense heat. That said, there’s always safe sailing in Phang Nga Bay down to the Phi Phi Islands.

How to Get to Thailand

Phuket airport is the intercontinental hub for the yacht charter scene in Thailand – with direct flights from Melbourne, Moscow, Manchester and Mumbai. The airport approach highlights the allure as jets descend over an aquamarine sea, then land just past the golden sands of Mai Khao Beach. Marina and yacht charter options are within an easy 20-30 minute drive away.

Sailing in Thailand – Where to Go & What to See

by Alfredo from Samboat | Mar 25, 2019

Thailand, formerly known as Siam, is a country in Southeast Asia best known for its tropical beaches, ancient ruins, ornate temples, and opulent royal places. Apart from all that, Thailand is also known for some of the greatest sailing destinations that you shouldn’t miss out on! 

When it comes to sailing in Thailand, there are two best spots; the Andaman Sea in the west or the Gulf of Thailand to the east and south. Let’s look at some of the best sailing spots the country has to offer along with things you must see!

Most sailors hit Phuket for chartering yachts because of the large number of boats available. In addition, the stunning scenery that Phuket has to offer is unmatched. It is an island province which is connected to the mainland via the Sarasin Bridge in the north.

While Phuket is the main island, there are 32 other islands as well that you can explore on your boat. After your long day of sailing, make sure you visit Bangla Road, situated only 5 minutes away from the crystal clear waters and stay at one of the unique hostels in the area.

Phang Nga Bay

Phang Nga Bay is primarily characterized by mesmerizing, emerald green waters featuring limestone karsts jutting out the water. This bay comprises of two famous islands that you should definitely visit; James Bond Island and Koh Panyee.

In fact, the James Bond Island is only one of the hundreds island in the expansive bay and is known for being featured in James Bond hit movie, “Man with the Golden Gun.”

However, the majority of tourist boat trips descend on nearby beaches at the same time, making the island very crowded. 

Meanwhile, Koh Panyee is a remarkable village that’s completely built on poles in shallow waters. For shelter, there’s a giant rock monolith behind the poles. The place is home to roughly 1500 people that provide fresh local fish to restaurants and beautiful crafts for the tourists.

Moving south-east down the coast from Phang Nga Bay to the Thai mainland, you will come across the province Krabi, which has a town with the same name.

When compared to the tourist center of Phuket, Krabi seems to have a more relaxed environment with a smaller crowd. Here, you can enjoy an incredible sea along with stunning mountain scenery along with beautiful beaches and colorful, coral-fringed islands. You can also opt for diving and snorkeling here and explore the magical world present beneath the surface.

Two of the must-visit beaches here are Hat Rai Le and Ao Nang, which have shops and restaurants. So, while sailing, you can take a stop here and restock yourselves.

Koh Lanta is essentially an archipelago with approximately 70 islands with most of them housing white sandy beaches. If you love snorkeling or scuba diving, then you must visit Koh Rok and take in the beauty of its stunning colored coral reef.

In addition, there are two dive sites which are termed as highly-rated underwater pinnacles; Hin Muang and Hin Daeng.

Phi Phi Island

If you’re obsessed with Leonardo DiCaprio’s movie “The Beach” and want to see how it feels to stand where he stood and look at the scenery he got to saw while shooting the movie; then Phi Phi Island is the place to go.

Phi Phi has an island called Ko Phi Phi Le which features the beach in the movie; Maya Beach.

Surin Island

One of the most famous island locations of the country is Koh Surin National Marine Park where you have a close up of whale sharks and manta rays and swim among sea turtles. Surin Islands are located in the Andaman Sea which is just off Thailand’s west coast.

Patong, Chaweng and Lamai Beaches are among the most popular, but we also recommend sailing to Koh Hong Island and Lai Bay to relax and enjoy the scenery. However, a sailing holiday in Phuket wouldn’t be complete without a boat trip to the Similan Islands . Similan Islands National Park is one of the best places for scuba diving in Thailand. Discover the diverse and fascinating underwater world of Thailand’s coast with its exotic fish, intriguing corals and granite boulders.
• Head to Chalong Bay , which is another prime spot for diving and not too far from Phuket

Explore historical Thailand

Thailand is a country rich in history, culture, and natural beauty. The country has several ancient temples, ruins, and cities that are situated near the water and make for a perfect stopover on your boat holiday in Thailand . Visit the Ayutthaya Historical Park , the ancient city that was once the capital of the Kingdom of Siam. It was destroyed by the Burmese in the 18th century but the ruins of the temples, palaces, and statues still remain and can be visited.

Sailing conditions in Thailand

Although most people prefer charter a boat in Thailand in the dry season from November to April, it’s possible to sail here all year round. In the dry season, temperatures are still in the high 20s to 30s with similar water temperatures. Winds are calmer, F4 or lower, and make for smoother sailing conditions around the islands. There are two high tides per day, from 0.5 to over 3 meters, meaning that it is best to find a spot for mooring by early evening. Sailing in Thailand is still generally possible in the wet season, especially around Phuket where winds tend to stay under around F6. Though, it should be noted that the most rain occurs during September and October. Rain can persist up to 5 days straight during these particular months. Just something to keep in mind when planning your trip here.

You won’t be able to visit the Similans in the wet season, but experienced sailors may find the stronger winds more thrilling around Phuket . Conditions are generally ideal in the dry season around the Gulf of Thailand too, although the popular moorings can become quite busy around this time. It is definitely best to book your sailing adventure in Thailand ahead of time to avoid disappointment. Remember you can also book a skipper from Zizoo to help you navigate during your Thailand sailing holiday .

How much does it cost to rent a boat in Thailand?

Renting a boat in Thailand doesn’t have to be expensive - unless you are opting for the most luxurious yachts, of course. However, prices can also vary depending on the season, size and type of boat you are looking at chartering in Thailand .

What type of boat is best for sailing in Thailand?

When it comes to a yacht rental in Thailand , the type of boat that is best for you will depend on your preferences, experience level, and the specific activities you plan on doing.

One popular option for sailing in Thailand is a catamaran , which is a multihull boat with two hulls that provides more stability and space for passengers. Catamarans are ideal for those who want a comfortable and spacious sailing experience, with plenty of room for lounging, dining, and socializing.

Rent a catamaran in Thailand

Pros of renting a catamaran in Thailand

A catamaran rental in Thailand is the best choice for anyone who gets easily seasick or simply wants to have a smoother sailing experience. Catamarans are generally more stable than monohulls, which can make for a smoother ride, especially in choppy waters.

Charter a catamaran in Thailand if you want to have more room to stretch your legs and tend to feel quite claustrophobic. Catamarans offer more living space than monohull boats, which can be particularly useful for longer trips or when traveling with larger groups.

A catamaran hire in Thailand is particularly useful if you want to explore the most breathtaking and remote beaches this country has to offer. Catamarans have a shallow draft, which means that you get to sail in shallower waters and reach more secluded anchorages.

A catamaran rental in Thailand is a great choice, because they are generally more fuel-efficient than monohulls, which can save you money on fuel costs and reduce your environmental impact. You can sail with the winds when they are strong enough or revert to using the engine when they are not.

Cons of renting a catamaran in Thailand

One of the downsides of a catamaran charter in Thailand can be the fact that they tend to be a little more expensive to rent than other types of boats, due to their size and luxury features.

Another disadvantage of a catamaran rental in Thailand can be the fact that catamarans are relatively big in size. This can make it more difficult to find a spot for mooring at the marinas and it is also generally more expensive. Their size and the way that they are constructed with the two hulls, makes catamarans also less maneuverable than monohulls.

Charter a catamaran in Thailand

Rent a sailboat in Thailand

Pros of renting a sailboat in Thailand

Rent a sailboat in Thailand, a classic sailboat with a single hull. Monohulls are often preferred by experienced sailors who enjoy a more traditional sailing experience, with a greater focus on sailing performance and maneuverability rather than comfort. However, this also means that sailors who opt for a sailboat charter need to bring more experience than if they would sail on other types of boats.

Compared to renting a catamaran, renting a sailboat in Thailand is generally more affordable. It can be a great option if you are on a budget but still want to experience the thrill of sailing in Thailand . Also, sailboats are only fueled by the wind, which means that you won’t have to pay extra in addition to your bareboat charter in Thailand .

Sailing on a sailboat in Thailand is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to travel by boat. As sailboats are only fueled by the wind, you won’t produce any additional CO2-emissions.

Cons of renting a sailboat in Thailand

One of the downsides of a sailboat charter in Thailand is the fact that they solely run on wind. This makes them incredibly dependent on mother nature and her moods. You might even find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea should the wind suddenly stop blowing and have to patiently wait for the wind to pick up again.

Sailboats generally have less interior space compared to other boats, which could be a disadvantage if you are traveling with a larger group or simply prefer more space. The space on deck is also quite limited as the necessary equipment to operate your boat needs to be stored there. Just something to keep in mind on your sailing charter in Thailand .

Sailboat rental in Thailand

Rent a motorboat in Thailand

Pros of renting a motorboat in Thailand

While sailing and navigating a catamaran or sailboat may require some experience and training, motorboats are often easier to operate and require less experience. So a motorboat rental in Thailand is a great way to explore this beautiful country on water.

Motorboats are generally faster than other types of boats, allowing them to drive from one place to the other in a shorter amount of time. A motorboat charter in Thailand is really great for anyone who is limited in time, but has a big bucket list.

A motorboat hire in Thailand is perfect for those who enjoy the comforts of a home while being on a boat. Motorboats often have more amenities and comforts than sailboats or catamarans, such as air conditioning, full kitchens, and entertainment systems.

Cons of renting a motorboat in Thailand

Motorboat rentals in Thailand tend to be more expensive to rent and maintain than other types of boats, which can be a significant drawback for those on a tight budget. Additionally, some marinas and ports may charge higher fees for larger motorboats, which can add to the overall cost of your trip. This includes the cost for fuel. Motorboats consume a significant amount of fuel, which means that you may have to spend more on petrol than you anticipated, especially if you plan to travel long distances.

Motorboats are known to produce a lot of noise, which can be disruptive to marine life and other boaters. This can also impact your overall experience on the water, as the constant noise can be annoying and you might not be able to communicate with your fellow passengers as much as you would like to while the motor is running.

Motorboat charter in Thailand

Luxury boat holidays in Thailand

Thailand offers a great opportunity for luxury boat holidays with its crystal-clear waters, stunning beaches, and breathtaking scenery. And there are plenty of reasons why a private luxury yacht charter in Thailand is worth considering if you have necessary means for it.

• Privacy and Exclusivity: Renting a luxury yacht In Thailand offers privacy and exclusivity. You can visit secluded islands, anchor in private coves, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings without being disturbed by the masses. A luxury yacht also has the advantage of exclusive amenities and gear on board.
• Tailor-made Itineraries : Luxury yacht charters in Thailand generally offer tailor-made itineraries that are customized to your preferences. You can choose where to go, what to see, and how long to stay at each destination. You won’t have to worry about planning everything yourself!
• High-end Amenities: Luxury boats are generally equipped with high-end amenities such as air conditioning, Wi-Fi, entertainment systems, and gourmet kitchens. You can enjoy a comfortable and luxurious experience while sailing. If you can afford it, it will make your sailing experience even more enjoyable!
• Professional Crew on board : Most luxury yacht charters in Thailand come with a professional crew, including a captain, chef, and other staff. They will take care of all the details, from navigating and operating your boat to cooking delicious meals, allowing you to relax and enjoy your holiday without having to lift a finger.
• Water Sports : Luxury boats often come equipped with water sports equipment, such as snorkeling gear, kayaks, and SUPs. You can explore the beautiful waters of Thailand and indulge in various water activities if you get bored sunbathing on board your boat.

What kind of boat license do you need when renting a boat in Thailand?

Anyone who wants to operate a boat in Thailand needs to be in possession of a valid Thai boating license. The Ministry of Transport is issuing these kinds of licenses. If you are coming to Thailand on a foreign boat and only stay for less than six months, the Thai authorities generally accept that you don’t have a Thai boat license.

If you don’t have a Thai boat license and don’t plan on getting one in the near future, you can always hire a skipper or captain in addition to your bareboat charter in Thailand. This might probably be your safest bet as well, as the authorities are generally not known to be helpful in terms of the bureaucracy.

A culturally rich and naturally diverse country, Thailand offers a vast range of cruising grounds around its many islands. Phuket is one of the most popular destinations for sailing in Thailand , with its crystal-clear waters, stunning beaches, and beautiful islands. Here is a sample 7-day sailing route around Phuket:

Day 1: Sail from Chalong Bay to Ko Racha Yai: Start your trip at Chalong Bay and set sail for Ko Racha Yai, a small island located about 12 nautical miles south of Phuket. Enjoy snorkeling and diving in the clear waters and relax on the beautiful beaches.

Day 2: Sail from Ko Racha Yai to Ko Phi Phi Don: Head to Ko Phi Phi Don, one of the most popular islands in Thailand known for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lively nightlife.

Day 3: Sail from Ko Phi Phi Don to Ko Phi Phi Leh: Visit the smaller island of Ko Phi Phi Leh, famous for its stunning scenery and the location of the movie "The Beach." You can also go snorkeling in Maya Bay and enjoy the beautiful coral reefs.

Day 4: Sail from Ko Phi Phi Leh to Ko Yao Yai: Sail to Ko Yao Yai, a peaceful and serene island located between Phuket and Krabi. It is known for its pristine beaches and untouched beauty.

Day 5: Sail from Ko Yao Yai to Phang Nga Bay: Visit the stunning Phang Nga Bay, which is home to numerous limestone cliffs and hidden lagoons. You can also explore James Bond Island , which was featured in the movie "The Man with the Golden Gun."

Day 6: Sail from Phang Nga Bay to Ko Rang Yai: Sail to Ko Rang Yai, a small island located off the east coast of Phuket. Enjoy the secluded beaches and crystal-clear waters.

Day 7: Sail from Ko Rang Yai to Chalong Bay: Head back to Chalong Bay and end your sailing trip. On the way, you can stop at Ko Mai Thon, a small island known for its beautiful beaches and excellent snorkeling.

Explore the gorgeous Gulf of Thailand on your chartered yacht:

The Samui archipelago is a dream for sailors. Koh Samui is undoubtedly the best starting point for a sailing trip around the Samui archipelago . Samui is Thailand’s second-largest island and is particularly popular among honeymooners. Popular activities include getting a massage at the spa or sunbathing at the beach. Laem Yai Beach , at the northwest end of the island, is one of the most tranquil beaches in Thailand. Bang Rak in the northeast of Koh Samui is home to more great beaches and the famous Big Buddha statue.

Go on a sailing holiday in Phuket with Zizoo, and enjoy exploring Thailand’s largest island:

It’s a seaside paradise with a huge variety of excellent beaches to explore, as well as a range of water sports and historical sights to explore. During your sailing holiday in Phuket , it is suggested to stick to the eastern side of the island to enjoy the best sailing routes. You can head to Phang Nga Bay, then to Koh Lanta and the Phi Phi Islands , and later explore the stunning Similans . Near Chalong Bay , which is Phuket’s main port, is Coconut Island , with some of the area’s quietest beaches. For a livelier experience, Patong is one of the world’s premier party destinations. A yacht rental in Thailand allows you to experience the many wonders that the country has to offer and gives you more opportunity to explore the islands at your own pace.

1998 Thomas E Colvin 85ft Bermuda Rig Ketch

• 31 Mar 2024 : 15:05 pm

Price : USD $ 499,000 Tax Paid, Burma, offers invited It is rare to find such great examples of Thomas Colvin’s well-thought out and quick ketches on the brokerage market. Meta IV was built by one of Phuket’s legendary shipwrights using the local Takin Tong hardwood, which is a renowned wood impervious to 99% of life’s bugs. The builder warrants the wood, similar to well aged teak, with a 99-year life when correctly maintained – that’s many decades more than the modern materials used in other builds. The fact that builder is still in business shows how well his yachts last and is a testament to his build quality. Built with love and attention to detail, Meta IV boasts six spacious cabins with superb headroom in each and ensuites in most. The crew are also well catered for forward, and a full-beam master suite just behind the helm delivers optimal comfort at sea for the owner. Her fine hull lines along a decent acreage of sails translate into a very rapid and comfortable motion under way. An entry, for instance in any of the local regattas such as Kings Cup, would do her owner designer and builder credit with a likely podium result. Currently lying in one of the world’s best cruising areas with most systems in reasonable condition, Meta IV is ready with just minor work needed (eg. galley to complete) to set sail with family or other guests. The Yacht Sales Co can assist with relocation of this vessel to your port of choice, including providing various quotations for shipping or delivery crew and managing the process.

Sailingship for sale

• Pranburi Area, Pranburi, Pak Nam Pran

The Neptunian was sailed from England to India in 1995 in the course of the Cutty Shark Regatta, then still under the name "Sultan ", and then to the Andaman Sea, where it first found its new home in Phuket and then in the Royale Langkawi Yacht Club. The previous owner lived with his wife on Sultan for 10 years before we bought the ship in 2017 and gave it a new name. From now on, she sailed under the name "NOW4NOW". I sailed NOW4NOW single handed around Singapore, Tioman Ilands, the Anabas Ilands, Terrenganu, Songkhla, Koh Samui, Pranburi/Hua Hin to Pattaya. On the way, NOW4NOW got a new engine in the Racer Marina. In 2022, a complete refitt was added, inside and out, whereby the entire ship was gutted and the complete interior fittings in teak were also renewed. No costs and efforts, as well as nerves were spared! Our plan was to sail NOW4NOW for about another ten years, so the effort. In 2022/23 we sailed to Koh Samet, Koh Chang, Koh Mak and Koh Kut. It was nice, without knowing that this should probably be our last trip together. Unfortunately, my health has thwarted the plans, so we are forced to find a new good and loving home that is really close to our hearts. NOW4NOW is a real seagoing boat what give us always a save feeling and we know the new owner will have the same funny times what we have.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Thailand

Embarking on a sailing adventure with Yachting.Rent in the stunning waters of Thailand presents a delightful dilemma – choosing between a sailing boat or a catamaran. Both offer unique experiences and the choice largely depends on your personal preference, group size, and sailing objectives.

Sailing boats are the embodiment of traditional seafaring. These vessels offer a deep connection to the sea, providing an authentic, tactile sailing experience. They are a perfect choice for those seeking the thrill of harnessing the wind and navigating the waves. Ideal for couples, small groups, or those with a penchant for a classic sailing experience, sailing boats offer a blend of adventure and intimacy.

Catamarans, on the other hand, are prized for their stability, speed, and ample space. Their twin-hull design reduces the boat’s tilt, ensuring a smoother ride that’s especially appreciated by those prone to seasickness. Catamarans offer expansive deck space, larger living areas, and private cabins, making them a popular choice for families or larger groups. Their shallow draft allows closer access to beaches and enables exploration of hidden coves and inlets.

Whether you opt for the charm and thrill of a sailing boat or the comfort and space of a catamaran, Yachting.Rent ensures your journey is exceptional. All our vessels are equipped with modern amenities and maintained to the highest standards. Our expert crew is always on hand to guide, assist, and ensure your sailing adventure in Thailand is safe, memorable, and filled with breathtaking experiences.

Death Island ferry fire: Terrified tourists leap into waters off Thailand: video

The boat was carrying more than 100 people when the inferno broke out.

A ferry carrying nearly 100 tourists caught fire in Thailand early Thursday, forcing some of them to jump overboard in fear while others were saved by a rescue boat.

The boat was on its way to the island of Koh Tao, a tourist hot spot known as "Death Island," when the fire broke out in the engine room of the vessel, which was packed with 97 tourists and 11 Burmese boat crew members. All 108 survived.

Dramatic video shows the boat – which was loaded with cargo, at least two vehicles and several mopeds – on fire and becoming engulfed with smoke as terrified passengers flee to the upper floors wearing orange life jackets waiting to be rescued.

Some jumped overboard to escape the hellish inferno with the flames eventually consuming the whole vessel, named the "Ko Jaroen 2" ferry.

Several passengers were taken to hospital for smoke inhalation.

Police Colonel Chokchai Sutthimek, superintendent of the Koh Tao Police Station, said the vessel was mid-sea and approaching the pier at Koh Tao at around 6:30 a.m. local time when the fire broke out.

"The fire originated in the engine room while the boat was mid-sea and approaching the pier at Koh Tao, causing panic among passengers, some of whom jumped overboard," Sutthimek said.

"After receiving the report from authorities and boat operators at Koh Tao, we swiftly dispatched a rescue boat to evacuate all passengers and crew back to the coast. Some of them suffered minor injuries from smoke inhalation."

Sutthimek said the vessel is a ferry that also serves as a cargo boat. 

Officers said that all 108 people were safely returned to shore while authorities towed the damaged ferry back to the pier.

An investigation has now been launched to determine the cause of the fire.

The island of Koh Tao was dubbed Death Island following the murders of British backpackers Hannah Witheridge and David Miller in 2014. Previous cases of tourist deaths emerged and there have been several unexplained deaths of tourists since, leading to the island being branded as "cursed."

The fire comes two days after a vacation hosueboat was also engulfed in flames in southern Thailand as it was approaching the Thap Lamu Pier in Phang Nga province. No injuries were reported in that fire as only one person, who managed to jump into the water to escape, was onboard at the time.

Passengers jump into sea to escape Thai ferry fire

No casualties after fire engulfs ferry carrying 108 people from Surat Thani to Koh Tao

Panicked passengers jumped into the sea to escape a raging ferry fire in the Gulf of Thailand early on Thursday, and all 108 people onboard survived.

The overnight ferry from Surat Thani province was about to arrive at Koh Tao, a popular tourist destination off the Thai coast, when one of the passengers heard a crackling sound and smelled smoke.

Maitree Promjampa said he saw billowing smoke and fire less than five minutes later, when people started shouting and rang the alarm.

“We could barely get the life vests in time,” he said. “It was chaotic. People were weeping … I also teared up.”

Of the 108 people on the ferry, 97 were passengers, Surat Thani officials said on Facebook. The province’s public relations department posted that everyone was rescued with no casualties.

Videos showed people hurrying out of the ferry’s cabin while putting on life vests, as thick black smoke swept across the ferry. It was later engulfed in fire.

Maitree, a Surat Thani resident who often travels to Koh Tao for work, said several boats came to their rescue about 20 minutes after they called for help, but the boats could not get close to the ferry for fear of explosions.

He said people had to jump into the sea to be rescued. “Everyone had to help themselves,” he said. Videos showed the ferry was also carrying several vehicles.

Officials said the fire began in the engine and the cause was being investigated. The blaze was brought under control and the ferry did not sink.

The ferry from Surat Thani to Koh Tao carries commuters and tourists. Koh Tao is about 60 miles from the coast.
