Yachting in Phuket Thailand

Thailand's numerous tropical islands and warm marine waters are the perfect backdrop to a memorable holiday on a yacht.

From kayaking and fishing to snorkeling and diving into the warm marine waters, yachting provides enough variety for most small groups. It is quite possibly the best way to enjoy the Andaman Sea's rich marine bounty away from the maddening crowds, perfect for families, small groups, and especially honeymooners. We have recently begun chartering yachts on behalf of our clients, and have listed three of our favorites.

The S/Y Meroja is an 85-foot ketch that has sailed the Andaman Sea since 1998. Originally built by local craftsmen under the supervision of experienced European shipwrights, the Meroja has created for itself a reputation for comfortable cruising in its five air-conditioned staterooms. The four person crew (European skipper, Thai cook and two deckhands) are at your disposal, ready with expert seamanship, local knowledge and comparative luxury.

Seraph is one of the more storied ships plying the waters around Phuket. Originally built outside of Copenhagen in 1906, she evokes the romance of a bygone era. She has aged well, and in recent years she has been updated with a modern galley and air-conditioned cabins. With a capacity of 8 pax, this 58.5 foot schooner is a cozier alternative to the Meroja, and is a great option for anniversaries or very private weddings.

The 34-foot S/Y Siren is a recent addition to the Phuket yachting scene. Being one of the newest ships around, she benefits from having state-of-the-art safety and navigation equipment, ensuring that her guests are traveling in the safest possible conditions. Accommodating up to 20 pax, the S/Y Siren boasts a nine roomy cabins each with personal computer, en-suite bathrooms and individual air-conditioning.
