Phuket, Thailand

Suggested Cruising Program
10 day program

A Phuket sailing itinerary presents myriad opportunities to savor the varied delights of Thailand's shimmering emerald-colored waters, towering limestone pinnacles, scenic anchorages, pristine beaches, traditional fishing villages, chic resorts, and some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving in the world. The passages can be confined to the sheltered waters off the east coast of Phuket or you can venture farther into the Andaman Sea to the picturesque Phi Phi Islands. The west coast of Phuket with its stunningly beautiful beaches and waterfront resorts, as well as the offshore islands in the Similan and Surin groups are an option during the northeast monsoon, which offers dry, sunny, and relatively cool tropical weather ideal for bareboat Phuket sailing.

Day 1: Arrival at the base

Arrive at the base - Yacht Haven in Northeast Phuket. Board for the night.

Day 2: Nai Harn

Departing from our base in Phuket, sail south towards the Naï Harn, where you'll spend your first superb night at anchor.

Day 3: Similan Islands

Sail towards the magnificent and beautiful Similan Islands, which will captivate you immediately. Huge boulders line the shores on several of the islands, and the pristine white sand beaches are often deserted. The most interesting sights, however, are to be found beneath the waves - some of the most spectacular coral in the world can be seen here.

Day 4 - 7: Similan Islands

Known the world over for their snorkeling and diving opportunities, the nine Similan Islands are a well-preserved paradise. The beach is just the beginning. Take your precious time to discover all the hidden anchorages, the underwater scenery, and lush forest. You'll find many ranger-protected areas for tortoises and their eggs while walking along the beaches, and snorkelers will be thrilled with the multitude of fish they'll encounter.

Day 8 - 9: Sail back to Phuket

Set sail back to Phuket, taking the same route you did when you left. Enjoy your final evening off the magical shores of Thailand.

Day 10: Check out

Check out at the base.
