Where to Visit on a Pattaya Yacht Charter

Just off the coast of Pattaya, Koh Larn combines sandy beaches and clear tropical waters within easy reach of the mainland. Its convenient location makes it particularly well suited to day charters and relaxed escapes on the water.

Part of the Mu Ko Phai island group, Koh Phai offers a more peaceful experience away from Pattaya's busier beaches. Clear water and an undeveloped setting make it a beautiful destination for swimming, snorkelling and relaxing aboard your yacht.

Koh Khram and its surrounding waters offer attractive scenery, clear seas and a sense of escape from the mainland. Access can be restricted because of its military status, so itineraries should always be planned around current local regulations.

Further along Thailand's eastern Gulf coast, Koh Samet is known for its white-sand beaches and turquoise waters. It's a fantastic addition to a longer yacht charter and ideal for those wanting to explore beyond Pattaya's closest islands.

See Pattaya from a completely different perspective from the water. Cruise along the coastline, enjoy the city skyline from your yacht or head out in the evening for a sunset charter before returning ashore.

South of central Pattaya, Jomtien offers a more relaxed stretch of coastline and provides another perspective on the region. Cruise offshore before anchoring for swimming, lunch and a leisurely afternoon on the Gulf.
