Where to Visit on a Thailand Yacht Charter

Home to Fairview Yachting at Ao Po Grand Marina, Phuket is the perfect starting point for exploring the Andaman Sea. Cruise through Phang Nga Bay, visit Krabi and Phi Phi or head south towards the beautiful Racha Islands.

Towering limestone karsts, sheltered emerald waters and hidden lagoons make Phang Nga Bay one of Thailand’s most spectacular cruising areas. Its protected waters and countless islands make it ideal for relaxed exploration by yacht.

Famous for their dramatic cliffs, turquoise water and beautiful beaches, the Phi Phi Islands are an iconic stop on a Phuket yacht charter. Swim, snorkel and explore before finding a quieter anchorage for the evening.

Krabi combines spectacular limestone scenery with tropical beaches, islands and relaxed waterfront towns. Explore the coastline and surrounding islands before heading ashore to experience southern Thailand’s restaurants and nightlife.

South of Phuket, the Racha Islands are known for clear water, beautiful beaches and excellent snorkelling. They’re an ideal addition to a Phuket itinerary and a great place to escape the busier cruising areas.

Pattaya provides a convenient gateway to the Gulf of Thailand, combining lively city life with easy access to nearby islands and beaches. Head offshore to discover quieter anchorages, clear water and a completely different side of Thailand.

Just off the coast of Pattaya, Koh Larn offers sandy beaches and clear tropical waters within easy reach of the mainland. It’s particularly well suited to day charters and shorter escapes from Pattaya.
