How a sailing holiday from Phuket works

Your own yacht
You charter the whole yacht for your group. The cabins, cockpit and deck are not shared with other guests.
Nights on board
You sleep on board while the yacht anchors overnight in sheltered bays. The yacht is your accommodation for the whole charter.
Bareboat or skippered
A bareboat charter requires a sailing licence; licences issued in any country are accepted, for example ICC, RYA, ASA or a national certificate. If no one in your group holds a licence, a skipper is required (EUR 175 per day).
Included equipment
Every yacht includes a watermaker, Wi-Fi, snorkelling gear, two stand-up paddleboards, a kayak and fishing rods at no extra charge.

Sailing holiday questions

Do we need sailing experience for a sailing holiday in Thailand?

What is the minimum charter length?

Our private charters start at 3 days.

Where does the sailing holiday start and end?

All charters start and end at Yacht Haven Marina, on Phuket's north-east coast. Boarding is from 14:00 on the departure day, and the yacht must be returned to Yacht Haven Marina by 10:00 on the return day.

Can we charter a yacht for a week or longer?

Yes. Weekly charters are available on all our yachts, and longer charters can be arranged. From day 8, the yacht rate for each additional day is reduced by 10%. Crew services and cleaning are not discounted.
