Sailing Thailand is GREAT FUN!

Sailing Thailand with Island Cruises basically means that you can take your time to enjoy sailing around the beautiful tropical Islands in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea on your own pace and maybe even join a basic sailing course with us.

The Island Cruises Yacht Charter Company is located, on the island Koh Tao, in the southern Gulf of Thailand. The Gulf of Thailand offers some of the most popular tropical destinations in the Land of the Smile, such as Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao and the Angthong Marine Park. In more recent times, the 42 pristine unspoiled Islands forming the Angthong National Marine Park are vastly gaining on popularity as a sailing destination in Thailand. These islands also form the sailing grounds for two of our sailing boats, which are permanently stationed on Koh Tao, the Freedom Fargo and the Yun Khan. We offer sailing safaris to the Angthong Marine Park and, if you’re up for it, the possibility to learn more about sailing and participate in a sailing course, while discovering some cool spots around Koh Tao, Koh Phangan and Koh Samui.

Island Cruises also offers several Charter Yachts and Bareboat Charters on the West Coast of Thailand. These yacht charters start usually from Phuket. The area of Phuket is world wide known to be a superb sailing ground, supporting warm tropical winds in order to create the perfect tropical sailing experience for you! The Andaman Sea is an impressive destination for sailing Thailand. The warm winds of the area are constant all year round and many of the islands in this region of southern Thailand, still remain untouched and undiscovered by the common tourist. The only occasional visitors are the sea Gypsies, the Moken, or sometimes some scuba divers on a live aboard safari.

Overview of our bareboats and the sailing area around Phuket

Welcome to the Bareboat Charter Phuket corner of Island Cruises. In this section of our yacht presentation you will only find top class bareboats that are really available without skipper and/or engineer. Sufficient sailing qualification and experience in yacht handling is expected, and has to be provided, to charter these yachts as a bareboat.

Our bareboat monohull sailing yachts:

Hiring a bareboat in Thailand is quite different to what you are probably used to from the Caribbean or the Mediterranean Sea. While only in Greece alone, there are several thousand production boats of well known and reputable companies like Beneteau, Bavaria, Jeanneau or Hanse, available for bareboat yacht charter, the number of available charter yachts in Thailand is far lower. If you count all available bareboat charter yachts in entire Thailand together, you won’t even reach close to 3 digits. We have selected a range of bareboat yachts for you, that we believe are fair priced, well maintained and with as little hidden costs as possible in the pricing. We are visiting all yachts listed regularly ourselves.

Bareboat Charter Thailand – Sailing Area Description

Thailand is still a rather exotic destination when it comes to yacht charters. In most cases, you will only see a marina on the departure of your bareboat charter and again upon your return …or not at all! In Thailand a considerable amount of yachts are simply moored in a protected bay rather than in a marina. Once you have sailed away from Phuket, you will often experience to be the only sailing yacht on anchor. Especially if you are on an extended yacht charter that brings you a bit further away from Phuket. The sailing area around Phuket can be considered suitable for rather advanced sailors and are therefore ideal for your bareboat charter. Read more [...]

Sailing Thailand – Bareboat Charter – Lagoon 380

Bareboat charter yacht Lagoon 380

The catamaran Lagoon 380 is the undisputed world sales champion in its league. With more than 650 units delivered, this sailing catamaran shows the growing popularity of multihulls in general and the popularity of the Lagoon 380 in particular.
Although the Lagoon 380 might be the smallest of the Lagoon family, it’s not short on features and space. This bareboat charter yacht provides space for a crew of 8 in 4 double cabins. Sporting a headroom of 1.95 m in saloon and hulls, this catamaran provides that airy feeling you would like to have on your yacht charter in Thailand.

On deck of bareboat charter yacht Lagoon 380

This sailing catamaran is fractionally rigged with a fully battened and roached main of 48m² with two reefs and a roller furling genoa of 31m². All controls lead back to the cockpit and everything can be done from there. The hardware is high quality gear from Harken, including self tailing winches, 8 well dimensioned mooring cleats and adjustable genoa cars. Thanks to the wide side decks and the rigid walkway on the trampoline moving around is safe and easy. The helmsman’s seat on this bareboat charter yacht is to port with instruments, engine controls and two winches at hand. Due to the very spacious interior for a catamaran of this size, the cockpit is a bit smaller than normal, but does provide ample seating for 8 people without using the double helmsman’s seat.

Below deck of bareboat charter yacht Lagoon 380

Coming inside you will understand why yacht tests for this catamaran were titled “a very big small boat”. The two double cabins to stern are boasting queen size beds while the two doubles to the bow are rather what you would expect on a bareboat charter yacht. There are two shower/head units, one in the center of each hull to be shared between the two double cabins in each hull.
The spacious saloon provides 360° vision to enjoy the stunning surroundings on your yacht charter in Thailand. The galley is located
between saloon and cockpit with a sliding window, which when put back allows access to a folding table for serving through to the cockpit. Worth mentioning are the completely separate engine compartments accessible from external stern hatches. This allows for excellent noise reduction towards the aft cabins which are in fact very quiet when the engines are in use.
The Lagoon 380 available for bareboat charter in Thailand is not the Standard, but Premium version with the higher level of trim and the most powerful engines available for the Beneteau Lagoon 380 series, the Yanmar 3YM30 with 29 hp each, instead of the non satisfactory Volvos with only 18 hp.

Summary of bareboat charter yacht Lagoon 380

If you are looking for a bareboat charter yacht for 8 people with good sailing abilities and most of the comforts of home for an affordable price, this is the yacht you are looking for. However, if your main interest is sailing performance and your group is not exceeding 6 participants we would recommend having a look at the bareboat charter catamaran Summerhaven 10.65.

Sailing Thailand – Bare Boat Charter – Summerhaven 10.65

Bare boat charter yacht Summerhaven 10.65

We have 3 Summerhaven 10.65 carter yachts available for bare boat charter in Thailand – the SY Chimera, Ceberus, and Charro. Designed by well-known Australian yacht designer Mark Pescott, these catamarans are light, high performance and easy to handle. The sailing catamarans Chimera and Ceberus are the deck saloon versions while the Charro has an open cockpit. However, all the yachts accommodate up to 6 passengers who can stay comfortably in the three cabins with double beds, a fully equipped galley and spacious cockpit. The Summerhaven catamarans are ideally designed for racing in regattas with the racing sails and spinnakers as an additional option for the hire. For larger groups, each cat can incorporate tandem or flotilla sailing. Here the advanced sailor has the chance to find out, why many people regard catamarans as the ideal sailing vessel for our rather light wind sailing areas in Thailand. The Summerhaven 10.65 are much more responsive than any other catamaran available for bareboat charter in Thailand – emphasis on bare boat charter, since many other companies just declare boats with compulsory marine engineer/skipper as bare boats.

Bare boat charter yachts Chimera and Ceberus

The SY Chimera and Ceberus offer passengers the saloon version with a cockpit with bimini-top, foredeck with netting and wide pathways around the deck. In addition to being light-weight for faster sailing, they are an excellent choice for simple relaxation and socializing among friends. They are as well the choice for young families who like some sportive sailing but like to have that extra deck space only a catamaran can provide. These bare boat catamarans are not luxury class with lots of high gloss surface which probably is the reason that the sailing, not luxury interested clients for those bare boat charter catamarans reportedly immediately feel at home aboard.

Bare boat charter yacht Charro

The SY Charro has the same spacious features of her sisters (bimini-top, wide walkways, netted foredeck, equipped galley); however, her distinctive feature is the open cock-pit which allows a refreshing breeze during the day and constant views of the sea at sunrise and sunset. Since July 2011 the sailing yacht Charro is equipped with roll downs from the bimini which provide you with a completely dry cockpit area on anchor if it should rain.

The SummerHaven catamarans are great choices for those who want an easy to handle yacht that can provide speed on the scenic Andaman Sea. We will make sure that you get the most out of your bare boat charter for your holiday. Welcome aboard the SummerHaven.

Yacht Charter Thailand – Charter Yacht Ferretti 680

Luxury Yacht Charter Thailand – Ferretti 680

The Ferretti 680, available for yacht charter from Phuket, is undoubtedly the most luxurious charter vessel in Thailand.
Exceedingly stylish and fast is what you would expect from Italian yacht manufacturers. The Ferretti 680 is a perfect example for this concept. She has enormous power and maneuverability and is stunningly handsome – just the perfect balance between technical features and design solutions. What really sets the Ferretti apart from other vessels of comparable size is that it is built to perfection. With a displacement of 45,000 kg it is no light weight vessel; however, we are sure you will enjoy on your luxury yacht charter the stability and the smooth ride that the additional beef provides.
Built for cruising in warm climates, it is clearly about getting the sun. With it’s huge flying bridge and three sun pads, all guests on an overnight yacht charter can lay out at the same time. For the comfort of her guests in the sunny weather of Thailand, Double Issue is equipped with a retractable Bimini on the fly bridge.

On a luxury yacht charter on the Double Issue, you won’t miss any amenities from home; the three heads of the guest cabins even have bidets! Not to mention matters of course like air conditioning throughout. Another detail of a quality luxury yacht like the Ferretti is that there is sound-deadening material installed between the staterooms and the master cabin and crew quarters.

Luxury Yacht Cruise Area

The Phi Phi Islands are probably the best known and most visited small island group in Thailand. The two main islands, Koh Phi Phi Don and Koh Phi Phi Leh, are located approximately 40km south east of Phuket. Their popularity derives from being the place where the movie “The Beach” (adapted from the novel by author Alex Garland) was filmed, exposing the stunning beauty of Maya Bay to the world.
The two giant limestone islands Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh provide a great backdrop to the surrounding white sandy beaches and calm, crystal clear waters offering some excellent snorkeling opportunities for all participants of this luxury yacht cruise. The entire island group consists of 6 islands all together.

Phi Phi Don

Koh Phi Phi Don is the only permanently inhabited island in the group and is as well the biggest. It has many beautiful white sandy beaches which are great for relaxing and snorkeling. Ton Sai Bay stretches for 2km alongside the steep limestone cliff and is home to Phi Phi town, officially named Ton Sai Village. Before the arrival of tourism, it was a small Muslim and Sea-Gypsy fishing village. Now it is a bustling town consisting of hotels, bars, shops and restaurants catering to the needs of the visitors of this island. There is a nice walk to a lookout point with views across both islands. Also on Koh Phi Phi Don is Monkey Beach, which you will visit on your luxury yacht cruise. This particular beach is inhabited by monkeys which the guests can feed.

Phi Phi Leh

Koh Phi Phi Leh is a smaller and more scenic island than Phi Phi Don and is not inhabited. The spectacular cliffs that drop for about 100 meters into the crystal clear waters are covered with green foliage. It is also home to Maya Bay where “The Beach” was filmed which has some excellent snorkeling. On the east coast of Koh Phi Phi Ley is Hong Pileh, a stunning jade green lagoon surrounded by sheer cliffs and many caves which you will pass on your luxury yacht cruise. One of these caves is the well known “Viking Cave” with ancient rock paintings of boats. These paintings were believed to represent Viking boats but scientific research has proven this wrong. Nevertheless, the name prevails.

Luxury Yacht Cruise Area

The Racha islands are located approximately 18 km south of the starting point of your luxury yacht cruise, Ao Chalong on Phuket. In comparison to the very popular Phi Phi islands, the two Racha islands can almost be called an ‘insider’s tip’, making them an ideal destination for a relaxing luxury yacht cruise away from the crowds.

Due to their relatively isolated location far away from the mainland, the Racha islands are blessed with crystal clear waters, colorful reefs and an abundance of tropical fish. This island group provides some of the best snorkeling experience of any island in close proximity of Phuket.

Racha Yai

Koh Racha Yai is the bigger island of the two (Yai meaning big in Thai) which houses a small number of resorts, one of them being “The Racha” – one of the leading 5-Star resorts in Thailand. Koh Racha Yai (or Raya Yai) is renown for it’s beautiful white sandy beaches. Additionally worth mentioning are Siam Bay, Ao Tawan Tok and especially Bungalow Bay, a U-shaped bay with a sandy beach and crystal clear water that is perfect for swimming.

Racha Noi

This island is a perfect destination for a yacht charter. Koh Raya Noi is a uninhabited rocky island with difficult access to get ashore. However, it provides several secluded coves to moor the yacht in to relax surrounded by stunning scenery and to snorkel the beautiful reefs the island is fringed with. Located on the southern tip is a stunning little beach with a sand bar connecting to a rocky outcrop when the tide is right. This is one of our favorite destinations to bring our guests to on their luxury yacht cruise.

Between Koh Racha and Phuket there are several tiny islands such as Koh Hey, also known as Coral Island, which provides a convenient possibility for a stop over on the last leg of your luxury yacht cruise to swim and snorkel in privacy.
