Charter a superyacht in
Imagine yourself on the deck of a superyacht as it drifts through the breathtaking islands of Thailand. Imagine diving off the yacht into crystal clear water, and swimming to a film-set beach for a walk before breakfast. You’re floating under a waterfall in the jungle. You’re sipping out of a fresh coconut, you’re having a massage on the beach. You’re drinking a cocktail in a lively beach bar, watching the full moon rise over a crowd of revellers and painting them silver. You’re diving with gentle whale sharks, their white spots bright against the blue. Now, stop imagining. Let’s make this happen.
Thailand’s islands, nearly 1500 of them, stretch across six major groups, with the most iconic clustered around Phuket and Krabi. These karst-strewn seascapes offer jaw-dropping backdrops, but there’s far more to discover. Cruise south to the Similan and Surin Islands for world-class diving, or explore the wild beauty of Mu Ko Tarutao Marine Park, where Koh Lipe glows as a standout destination.

Beyond the Andaman Coast, the Gulf of Thailand offers exceptional appeal for yacht charters. Famous islands like Koh Samui, Koh Tao, and Ko Chang invite exploration, while Koh Samet and Ko Chang in the north near Bangkok round out the cruising possibilities. From diving to beach bars, tranquil anchorages to vibrant towns, Thailand delivers an island-hopping experience like no other.
Cruising in Thailand is at its best from mid-November to mid-April, when the heavy rains and thick humidity of the monsoon retreat. Though technically autumn and winter, temperatures stay in the low to mid-30s°C. The difference lies in calmer seas and lower humidity, making this peak tourist season a spectacular time to sail — with tropical beauty on full display and only the occasional warm downpour.
Outside the dry season, the monsoon brings higher humidity and less predictable seas, but also quieter anchorages and lush, vibrant landscapes. Rain typically falls in short tropical bursts, often clearing as quickly as it came — perfect for relaxing with a massage or cocktail on deck. In the Gulf of Thailand, the monsoon arrives and ends later, offering a slightly extended cruising window.
In Phuket, tie your yacht up at Ao Po Grand Marina (max 80m, 7m draft) Phuket Yacht Haven (70m, 6m draft) Phuket Boat Lagoon (36m, 3m) or Royal Phuket Marina (30m, 3m). 30 miles to the south between Phuket and Krabi, you’ll also find Port Katola (40m, 3m). In Krabi, smaller superyachts up to 25m will find a lovely spot to tie up at Krabi Boat Lagoon in the mangrove forest. Across in the north of the Gulf of Thailand, superyachts up to 75m are accommodated at Ocean Marina Jomtien in Pattaya.
