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.

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.

Sailing in Thailand – Local Info

For answers to a lot more questions, check out our FAQ page

Phuket – the most well-known yachting destination in Thailand. There’s plenty bright lights and party nights on the main island; yet in the smaller islands to the south of Phuket, one can still find quiet anchorages with stunning beaches and lots of fun local hangouts.

Made famous by the James Bond movie of old, the weird and wonderful gravity-defying islands in the north of Phuket are simply awesome. And tons of kayaking fun around sea caves and lagoons!

Within easy sailing distance, there is the duty-free island of Langkawi. Green, lush; less busy than Phuket but with some gorgeous resorts for a little decadent luxury. A little taste of the diverse Malaysian culture to add to your Thailand experience !

Learn to sail at our Sailing Schools in Thailand

Schools in pattaya and phuket. courses running twice per month, awesome thailand training grounds.

Our Sailing Schools in Thailand are located in Phuket, a world renowned sailing destination and Pattaya. With direct flights from just about anywhere these locations offer a great mix of tropical islands, busy shipping lanes, world-class marinas and lovely warm weather. Thailand is the perfect place to learn to sail!

Catamaran & Keelboat sailing

If you're planning to charter a yacht then chances are it'll be a Catamaran, so we think it's important to get you out sailing on one, to show you the subtle differences between Cats and Mono's, but at the same time, there's nothing like being rail-down in a fresh breeze on a Keelboat. Our school in unique in that you will learn in both destinations on both a monohull and catamaran.

Island spirit Trusted track record

Established in 2004, Island Spirit Thailand is Asia’s first accredited International Yacht Training® facility and remains the most experienced Sailing School in Thailand. Island Spirit has run courses every month for the past 18 years and have former students sailing, cruising and chartering yachts all over the world.

The Perfect Classroom

From our location in the Gulf of Thailand, 2 hours drive from Bangkok’s main airport, just south of Pattaya at Ocean Marina Yacht Club in Jomthien, we gain access to the lower part of the Bangkok Bite.

This cruising ground offers everything a Sailing School in Thailand could possibly hope for; an international standard marina, Thailand's largest international shipping port with Traffic Separation Lanes for ships, Thailand's largest Naval base and a generous scattering of tropical islands.

Such diversity allows our sailing school students to get first-hand experience of some the more serious aspects of yacht navigation and combine it with a little bit of typical Thai tropical island beauty and hospitality.

From our location in Phuket we gain access to Yacht Haven Marina, Asia's largest Super-yacht marina, is our gateway to the Andaman Sea and the stunning islands of Phang Nga Bay.

The waters surrounding Phuket make for a perfect training ground, what it lacks in shipping traffic it makes up for with Super-yacht & tourism traffic. Learning to sail in Phuket remains challenging enough to deliver the learning experience required but it's hard not think you're on holidays, just because of the overwhelming beauty of the place.

Instructors with passion

A sailing school can have it all; perfect yachts, nice cruising grounds and a super-cool website, but when it comes down to it its all about the Instructors…. and we know that.

The Sailing school is just part of what Island Spirit Sailing does, we also operate a large Charter Fleet and represent major brand yachts through our yacht brokerage along with a yacht delivery service throughout Asia, so there is always plenty to do and it is because of this that Island Spirit Sailing is able to attract and retain the most experienced of Instructors.

Our instructors are not just doing the same training courses week in week out, when they’re not teaching they’re on charter or delivering yachts which leaves their love and passion for being out on the ocean in tact and keen to pass on their knowledge and experience and of course the odd salty-sea-dog story or two.

Keel boats and Catamarans

Although the exhilaration that comes with rail-down sailing on a powered up keelboat will never be replaced, we are today, without doubt, in the age of the Catamaran.

Island Spirit Sailing offers its sailing school students the opportunity to experience both Keelboat sailing and Catamaran sailing throughout the course of the Zero to Hero program.

We are the only school that we are aware of that incorporates both production keelboats and catamarans into the standard sailing curriculum.

Longevity and experience

Island Spirit Sailing opened its sailing school in 2004 and have been running a sailing school every month since; with an alumni of over 3500 people we’re proud of our contribution to the sailing community.

With such a large Alumni of active sailors Island Spirit Sailing is able to offer many opportunities to students to get out on the water once they finish their training; from ocean crossings to fun weekend flotilla’s.

Its fun and you’ll meet like-minded people

This is probably the best, yet least expected part of it all; for most of our sailing school students it’s been a long time since they’ve attended a school and they’re surprised at just how rewarding and how much fun learning something new is, of course being in the tropics and on a yacht helps.

The other surprising thing is how well a group of complete strangers gel and get on, clearly there is common ground in that all the students attending started out with the desire and drive to learn how to sail and they chose to do it in Thailand and thankfully they choose Island Spirit Sailing, so there’s a lot in common from the onset and many people find that they make lasting relationships and with our Alumni program to get people out sailing, we aim to foster that.

The Best Sailing Destinations in Thailand – Top 7 Spots Not to Be Missed!

Thailand is a country in South-East Asia and was formally known as Siam. Tropical beaches, opulent royal palaces, ornate temples, and ancient ruins, plus some of the best sailing destinations in Thailand, await travelers who venture to Siam’s shores.

When sailing yachts in Thailand, you will be either in the Andaman Sea to the west or the Gulf Of Thailand to the south and east.

Whilst most of Thailand experiences a tropical wet and dry or Savannah climate, the south and eastern tip of the east has a tropical monsoon climate. Around 6% of the economy of Thailand is derived from tourism.

Table of Contents

Phuket is the main region of Thailand for yachts to charter due to the concentration of available boats and stunning scenery to explore.

Phuket is an island province of Thailand connected to the mainland by the Sarasin Bridge in the north. Phuket island is the main island, but there are a further 32 islands to explore in your yacht.

Phuket experiences a tropical monsoon climate with heavy rains starting around May/July and lasting through to October.

Temperatures range from 25C to 32C (77F to 90F). Rubber plantations and tourism are the major sources of income generation in Phuket which has been voted a top destination for retirees.

For the best sandy beaches, you are best to visit the west coast of this mountainous island as the east ones are frequently muddy.

Phang Nga Bay

Emerald green waters with limestone karsts that jut out of the water are characteristic features of this bay. Koh Panyee and James Bond Island are two famous islands you can explore in this bay.

James Bond Island is just one of 100 islands in the 400km2 bay, becoming famous for being featured in the 1974 James Bond movie, ‘Man With the Golden Gun’.

Unfortunately, all the tourist boat trips seem to descend on the nearby beaches all at the same time, so it can get a little crowded!

Koh Panyee is a truly remarkable village built entirely on poles in shallow waters with an enormous rock monolith behind for shelter.

Home to almost 1500 people who provide restaurants and crafts for tourists if they are not fishermen catching fresh, local fish for the table. You can even rent a bungalow here with Internet access!

If you sail south-east down the coast of the Thai mainland from Phang Nga Bay, you will arrive at the town (and province) of Krabi.

Krabi is more relaxed than in the tourist center of Phuket. Amazing sea and mountain scenery await you, along with beaches and coral-fringed islands to explore with fabulous snorkeling and diving options.

The two stunning beaches of Ao Nang and Hat Rai Le have restaurants and shops where you can stop for a while and restock provisions if required.

Not one island but an archipelago of around 70 islands many with white sandy beaches. The stunning colored coral reef at Koh Rok is a must-stop visit if you are a keen snorkeler or scuba diver.

Hin Daeng and Hin Muang are a pair of underwater pinnacles that rate very highly among the world’s top dive sites.

Phi Phi Island

Ko Phi Phi Le one of Phi Phi’s islands, has another beach made famous by a movie. Maya Beach was featured in the movie, ‘The Beach’, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio.

Ko Phi Phi was severely damaged in the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, by 2010, most of the infrastructure had been restored.

Surin Island

Koh Surin National Marine Park is one of Thailand’s prime island locations. Here you can encounter; Manta Rays, Whale Sharks (especially at Richelieu Rock, a coral-covered pinnacle) and swim with the sea turtles.

Koh Surin Nua (North Surin Island) and Koh Surin Tai (South Surin Island) are the two main islands.

You will find The Surin Islands in the Andaman Sea, just off the west coast of Thailand.

Similan Island

The archipelago of 11 islands includes nine islands that make up the Similan Islands National Park. Despite there being a ban on fishing around these islands, traps and fishing boats are often sighted by divers.

Three of the islands are protected as they are turtle-hatching sites and are closed to landing by the public. The sea in the area has an average depth of only 60 feet, making it very popular with scuba divers.

Thailand Cuisine

Similar to most other Asian cuisines, rice is the staple grain. In 2011, a worldwide online poll of 35,000 people conducted by CNN Travel saw seven of Thailand’s popular dishes make it onto the list of the “World’s 50 Most Delicious Foods (Readers’ Pick)”.

These dishes were: pad Thai, Thai fried rice, Som Tam, Tom Yam Goong, Massaman curry, green curry, and Moo Nam Tok.

Tips for visiting Thailand

• The high season is from October to April when it is cooler.
• The low season corresponds with monsoon season (downpours usually last an hour or so)
• Most Western passport holders get a 30-day visa stamp on arrival (check before you arrive, though)
• Most travelers fly into Bangkok or Phuket and transfer by plane, train, or bus to their destination.
• Scuba dive the Similan Islands (top international dive sites)
• Relax on one of the many tropical islands
• Respect the Thai monarchy
• Some areas are predominantly Muslim, so women should cover their shoulders and not wear shorts or skirts out of respect.
• Visit more than once; there is so much diversity across Thailand’s provinces.
• Try the local cuisine; it’s far cheaper.
• Malaria risk is generally low
• Drink bottled water
• Don’t support wild animal trafficking or abuse
• Be wary of unauthorized guides
• Visit some of the many WATS (temples)

Thailand is a wonderful destination for sailing and yacht charters. Numerous islands to explore with many of them being uninhabited.

Just make sure you are not landing on a National Park that is protected from the public. Snorkeling and scuba diving are popular activities, with many opportunities to see amazing wildlife.

Thailand has 11 marinas located in Phuket, Krabi, Trat, Chon Buri and Prachuap Khiri Khan provinces. Yacht charter companies operate from these marinas offering day sails, crewed or bareboat charters.

6 thoughts on “The Best Sailing Destinations in Thailand – Top 7 Spots Not to Be Missed!”

Hi Daniella. I just visited your website and was intrigued by the content. The pictures from around the globe are simply magnificent! Did you take those pictures yourself? If so, they are amazing. I always wondered what a person would pack for food on a chartered yacht. I am not a sailor or even been on a yacht before but just knowing what to pack for food is informative. What if you plan on fishing while out to sea? I am sure you would pack gear for that? I fell in love with the great pictures and the great content.

I am glad you like the website and the content, thank you:) Here is an article about provisioning for a boat trip , I am sure you will find it very helpful! Yes, indeed, you need to rent or bring your own gear for a fishing trip. It would be preferable to speak with your charter broker about the equipment . Be aware there are some places where it is forbidden to fish and some where a license is required.

I hope it helped and please let me know if you need further information, I’ll be very happy to assist!

Have a nice day!

I’ve never been to Thailand but I learned so much from your article on the best sailing destinations in Thailand and the top seven spots not to be missed!

The pictures you used are dreamy! This really looks like an ideal destination for travelers. Your description of the different islands are amazing!

My boyfriend and I are planning on trying to live location-free in the next five years or less and the tips you have provided for visiting Thailand are fantastic and something we will definitely keep in mind.

Thanks for the great info! Jess

Thank you for passing by and for the compliment:)

Yes, Thailand is a beautiful country and the culture is very interesting. They are so many spectacular sights, beaches, temples, and landscapes to discover. It is difficult to get bored in Thailand!

Have a wonderful day!

I’ve always wanted to travel abroad in many different countries and Thailand has been on the top of my list so this article was definitely interesting to me. This article makes me want to go to Thailand even more than before and I will definitely revist this article when looking at which stops to visit

Thailand is the most popular tourist destination in South Asia and without a doubt it is a very attractive place. So far many people put this beautiful country on the top of their list!

Thank you for the comment and wish you a nice day!

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.

See other coastal charms around the world by booking one of Culture Trip’s multi-day sailing adventures .

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.

See privacy policy .

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.

What Is Bareboat Charter?

Bareboat Sailing

We offer bareboat charter to those people who wish to skipper their own yacht with their friends and family as crew. 

As bareboat charter does typically vary from 1 night, 4 nights, 1 week, 3 weeks or more. We use our experience to identify your ideal yacht in terms of size, cabins & price.  We will give you a full briefing of your yacht & the areas that you can enjoy & explore whilst on charter.

Experience of Skipper

For bareboat yacht charter the skipper should have previous skippering experience aboard yachts of a similar size to that being chartered.  He/She should have an RYA Day or Coastal Skipper qualification or an international equivalent such as the ICC qualification.

In addition, at least one other crew member should be a competent sailor, who ideally has sailed with you before. As with all our Yacht Charters , should you need any help, we are always readily available.

A bareboat charter is a type of yacht charter arrangement where the charterer rents the boat from the charter company without any crew or provisions included. The charterer is responsible for all aspects of operating the vessel, including navigation, maintenance, provisioning, and hiring a crew if they wish.

The charterer assumes full responsibility for the safety and management of the yacht during the charter period. This typically requires the charterer to have experience and knowledge in operating a boat, as well as possessing the necessary licenses and qualifications, depending on the jurisdiction and size of the yacht.

Bareboat charters are popular among experienced sailors or individuals who prefer to have complete control over their sailing experience. It allows for greater flexibility and freedom to explore various destinations and plan the itinerary according to their preferences.

It is a requirement that every skipper chartering a yacht must hold an approved skipper licence to charter in Thailand.  Please bring your original certificates with you. If you have any concerns regarding the suitability of a particular yacht or cruising area do contact us to discuss your options.

Please note that if a skipper has to be provided aboard a yacht, due to either misrepresentation by the signatory on the booking form, or in the opinion of Yachting Thailand it is necessary to ensure the safety of the yacht and its crew, the cost of the skipper’s services will be at the client’s expense. We cannot accept responsibility for any loss suffered by you or a third party as a result of insurers failing to indemnify due to incorrect or misleading details being supplied on the booking form.

At the time of booking please ensure that you complete the Sailing Experience / Qualifications section on the booking form.  We will require a scanned copy of the skippers licence.

Australian child sex offender allegedly sails to PNG with plans to board a plane to Thailand

An Australian child sex offender banned from travelling overseas has been discovered trying to sail from Australia to Papua New Guinea.

PNG customs officers detained the 53-year-old Queensland man when he arrived on the island of Daru by yacht without a visa.

Just under 70 kilometres of ocean separates Daru from Saibai, Australia's northernmost island in the Torres Strait.

As a registered sex offender in Australia, the man has been charged with breaching his reporting conditions by trying to travel overseas without permission and has been deported back to Australia.

Australian Federal Police (AFP) allege the man sailed a boat through the Torres Strait Islands to Daru in Papua New Guinea, telling local authorities he planned to fly to Port Moresby and then on to Thailand.

Australian Border Force and AFP officers in Port Moresby were alerted to his arrival by local forces.

The man was repatriated to Cairns on March 1, where he was arrested and is due to appear in court later this month.
