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.

Sailing Thailand – Koh Tao – Koh Phangan – Ang Thong

With the increasing interest by sailing enthusiasts in longer join in cruises, we are proud to announce that our 7 day western Gulf of Thailand sailing cruise is not only available as a full yacht charter, but as well as a join in cruise. Having a full 7 days (7 x 24h) time offers a much more relaxed approach to see the most beautiful sites of the western Gulf of Thailand without having to steam against the wind just to keep the itinerary up. Incorporating Koh Phangan into the sailing cruise offers the possibility to adjust the itinerary according to the prevailing wind and opens the under developed east coast for exploration during SW – monsoon season. Another benefit is, that you don’t need to book any accommodation on Koh Tao. You are able to arrive by high speed ferry from Koh Samui just before the cruise and still being able to reach the afternoon ferry afterwards to reach a flight out of Samui Airport in the evening.

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.

Our bareboat multihull sailing yachts:

Why charter these yachts with Island Cruises?

We are always up to date for any special price offers that might come up and we can get you the best deals on bareboat charters in Thailand! If we really should miss something – our charter yachts are coming with best price guarantee – we will match any valid better offer!

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 [...]
