If you have yet to
experience the wonders of South East Asia, or would like to experience it
another way, renting a luxury yacht and exploring the amazing marine life to be
found around a series of tropical islands found in the South of Thailand is
most certainly going to be an amazing experience. It is not only affordable,
there are specialist yacht charter companies that will help you plan the
perfect route, and when we say luxury, we do mean 5-star living.
Tropical Island
Paradise
The famous Phi Phi
Islands are easily accessible and with your own yacht, you can drop anchor in a
great spot and settle down for a 5-star meal, while sampling your favourite
cocktail. Spend a couple of days around Phi Phi, then you can head along the
coast and visit Krabi, a quiet Thai coastal town that is unique in many ways.
The Andaman Sea is full of exotic marine life, with whale sharks, dolphins and
sailfish often seen and if you are into scuba or snorkelling, the preparations
can be made.
Phuket
The southern
island of Phuket is the perfect base from which to embark on your own private
cruise to the surrounding islands, and with yacht
charter in Phuket,
everything is included, just bring yourself and some personal items. They have
a fleet of top-class vessels to accommodate from 2-16 people, plus you are in
the hands of a professional crew with a skipper than knows the region well, and
he would be happy to make some route suggestions based on your preferences.
From Phuket, you can easily reach the famous full moon party island of Koh Pan
Gnan, and if you time your trip right, you can experience this wild gathering,
which is always packed with gap-year students and tourists.
Samui Island
In the Bay of
Thailand, Koh Samui is a large island that is designed for premier tourists,
with stunning beaches and top-class resorts, and with your own yacht, you can
drop anchor, come ashore and experience fine dining and great night time
entertainment. Chaweng Beach is a very popular stretch that you should visit,
and they have some night markets where you can buy souvenirs and locally made
wares.
Malaysian
Coastline
The Malaysian
beaches are amazing, and most are deserted, which means you can drop anchor and
explore, and with the skipper’s intimate knowledge, you get to see all the best
locations. The beaches in Malaysia are still mainly undiscovered, so you won’t
see many hotels, and can have an insight into how the locals live.
