Yacht charter Phuket
Phuket is the largest island in Thailand and has also become its sailing center. The Marina Yacht Haven is located in the northeast of Phuket. From here you have a variety of sailing options depending on time, wind and weather conditions: If you only have a week to sail or want to take it easy, the waters around Phuket already offer enough variety. Beautiful beaches can be found especially on the west side of the island. In Phang Nga Bay alone, you can stay for days. With its iconic bizarre limestone cliffs, it is always recognizable and was also the backdrop for a James Bond movie. The bay is located in a Marine National Park, which is also very exciting for divers and snorkelers. Further south, beautiful beaches for relaxing and snorkeling are also found at Krabi and the offshore islands.
Besides tourist highlights like Ko Phi Phi, which are among the most beautiful islands in Thailand and where it can get crowded, there is also natural idyll and cultural diversity to discover in the Andaman Sea. The independence offered by your own boat opens up great opportunities beyond the beaten track - especially divers will get their money's worth in this area with its rich underwater world.
Phuket is very easy to reach due to the nearby airport. Those arriving via Bangkok should plan a little time to explore the city and perhaps take a trip to the ancient royal city of Ayutthaya.
Since 1987, the Kings Cup Regatta has been held every year in December on the island of Phuket. Over 2000 sailors compete in various catamaran and keelboat competitions.
