Phuket Island, Thailand
View Original Description
Phuket is the largest island in Thailand and connected to the mainland by bridge. Phuket is surrounded by a number of smaller islands distributed in the Adaman Sea providing yachtsmen with opportunities for island hopping in marine preserves and expansive open-water adventures. Phuket Town is famous for its resorts, shopping, theaters, dining, museums, Buddhist Temples and historic sites. Sailing excursions off the coast of Phuket typically includes visiting enchanting islands, fantastic beaches, secret tidal caves and hidden lagoons depending on your charted course through these incredible cruising grounds. Phuket also has a reputation for providing excellent sailing instructors if enhancing your skills would be a requirement for your dream sailing adventure. Some of the things you might look forward to on-shore or off can include abundant and relatively inexpensive shopping, scuba diving, fishing, exploring waterfalls, paragliding, jet skiing, saunas and spas, elephant safaris, exotic nightlife and great food.
Bareboat charters are available from a number of operators in Phuket with craft ranging from 8 meter monohulls, accommodating 4 for live-aboard, to racing yachts and larger craft that can handle bigger groups, depending on your needs. Charter options can include guides, engineers and fully crewed yachts. Phuket International Airport on the north end of the island provides access from nearly every part of the world as it is Thailand’s second largest airport. Transportation to the various marinas where your charter will be waiting is easily arranged.
A sailing adventure beginning in Phuket can take on many different forms. Start charting your course and make the arrangements in order to fulfill your dream of sailing off the coast of exotic Thailand.
