It doesn't get much better than a seven-day sailing adventure through Thailand’s best islands. On this trip, you’ll spend your days looking out at the scenic seascapes, snorkelling through turquoise waters, relaxing on white beaches and wandering the craggy limestone peaks by boat. Welcome to the Andaman Sea! This is your chance to experience the region with the wind in your hair and the sun and salt on your skin. From the iconic landscape of Koh Phi Phi to bustling Phuket – this yacht adventure gives you plenty of time to swim, snorkel, paddleboard and kayak by day and chill out on the deck watching the sunset by night. With a like-minded group by your side and a private chef cooking up fresh Thai flavours – what better way to spend a week in Thailand?
Highlights
- Leave vibrant Phuket and set sail on the beautifully calm waters of the Andaman Sea – by yacht no less!
- Slip into the beach-loving life with long walks on the finest white sands and salty swims in the inviting waters of Thailand’s best beaches.
- Sleep out beneath the stars, rocked by the gentle pitch of your yacht. Choose to spend a night on the deck and look up at stars in the balmy weather – this is freedom.
- Feast on delicious food made with local ingredients – all made by your onboard chef, who will be whipping up Thai favourites daily.
- Relax with the knowledge that the biggest decision of the day is whether to paddleboard, snorkel, swim with the tropical fish or kayak across shimmering seas.

Incredible experience! Our guide and boat crew were amazing and the chef on board was highly skilled. Got to see so many beautiful landscapes. I could have swam/snorkeled in that ocean all day! Highly recommend.

This trip on Cataleya was at the end of our honeymoon. It was an amazing way to explore the islands of Thailand and learn about Thailand. The boat was comfortable and the crew was phenomenal. Ice, the chef, made the best food I've had in my life. I would definitely recommend the 7-day tour, as there is so much beauty to see.

Fantastic trip, 100% do this, amazing prepared food, spacious boat, the most relaxing trip i've been on.

This is an excellent trip. A fantastic way to see parts of Thailand otherwise hard to get to. Great fun too!

This trip went beyond my expectations. I enjoyed every minute. The magical North Andaman see did not disappoint. The food was remarkable. The snorkeling and paddle-boarding was fantastic. Our crew was professional and courteous. Our trip leader was dynamic, professional and funny. A wonderful experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the Thai Islands on the lovely and well equipped Catalaya. The boat has lots of toys (canoes/paddle boards, snorkelling and floats) and is very comfortable. Ice, who is a master chef, produced meals beyond our expectation. Each meal had multiple dishes and nothing was ever a problem. Our skipper, Doh is lovely and he a Rob encouraged the guests to participate in the everyday workings of the vessel. The crew have a lovely comeraderie and we passengers really enjoyed the banter and practical joking that kept us all on our toes. This was a wonderful holiday for people with a reasonable level of fitness. To get the most out of this trip I would suggest you need to be someone who loves the water. Rob is a very patient and considerate guide. Very knowledgeable, passionate and environmentally conscious. This is our 4th Intrepid trip and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this trip to family and friends.

Amazing trip, exactly what we wanted. Everything is taken care of for you, the staff were fantastic, the meals were incredible and varied, plenty of time to swim and snorkel as well as seeing new places every day. Very relaxing and a lot of fun with a great group.

I had an amazing time on this sailing adventure - Rob, Do and Ice all took great care of us on the boat. We ate great food, swam in beautiful water, and watched the most lovely sunsets every night.
03/27/2023
To me this is the best way to enjoy a holiday in Phuket. The crew of Cataleya are the best at what they do. We went to all the best snorkelling spots, saw pristine beaches and enjoyed the best sunset every night. I still don't know how Chef Ice turned out so many wonderful dishes from a boat kitchen. By the end of the trip you wouldn't want to leave. I couldn't thank Captain Rob, Do and Chef Ice enough for making it such a memorable week for us.

Great trip! This was totally out of my comfort zone sort of trip and I went and did it anyway. So glad I did! Spent time with a great group of people and staff were super lovely. They really wanted everyone to feel comfortable and have a good time. It's the perfect way to catch up on sleep! Especially sleeping outside at night and having a wonderful view of the stars. Main trip highlights: snorkelling , the food, the sunrises/sunsets. It made coming back to civilisation and reality much harder!

No air conditioning in cabins so unable to sleep at night. Itinerary is misleading (in my opinion)- I thought that islands stated would be visited by foot too and not just seen from a distance. A lot of itinerary not fulfilled with no flexible or discussed new options. Closed mindset guide - he didn’t enjoy “tourist traps” and therefore we shouldn’t either (but I am a tourist) Unable to swim or snorkel most times due to jelly fish (not anyone’s fault but alternative arrangements should have been discussed or allowed).

Rob and his crew made the Phuket Sailing adventure a fantastic experience. Attention was paid to every detail. I will remember the fabulous food Ice prepared and unforgettable sunset and scenery for a long time.

Excellent and relaxing trip. Beautiful scenery, fabulous food. Great crew. Slept on deck under the stars most nights. Enjoyed the snorkelling and kayaking.

I just finished a week trip in beautiful Cataleya. What can I say, everything was just perfect. Kop Kung Ka, guys. This was far beyond any expectations. You can tell from the minute one how passionate the crew is about their jobs and that’s what we got in return, an amazing week with like minded people sailing in amazing Thailand in our happy bubble called Cataleya. Rob, Doh, Chai and Ice are the best crew ever, they paid attention to every detail to make us happy everyday and make sure we were safe and enjoyed our trip. And that’s exactly what happened. The boat is great and they are really knowledgeable about sailing and the places we visited. The scenery was just stunning. Ice, the chef, cooked for us the best Thai food I’ve ever had so far and even made gluten free bread and pancakes for me (which meant a lot to me). Thanks so much guys for sharing this beautiful place with us. Best reward of such hard work is a great holidays week like this. Thank you all ??

It was an amazing week on Cataleya - Rob was a great host, always making sure everybody was comfortable and safe. The crew went above and beyond to give us the best time: preparing super-delicious Thai food, having kayaks and paddle boards available (and help us get on ??), dinghy shuttles and of course sailing and handling Cataleya, so all we had to do was relax, enjoy the view, snorkel, paddle, eat, swim, sleep - and repeat ?? I highly recommend the trip also for (female) solo travelers since you will meet like-minded people and have a lot of fun together! Do not miss the early morning sunrise swims ??

I had a fantastic week sailing around Puket bay.The yacht was very comfortable and clean and food excellent and plentiful. I loved the kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkeling. Our guide was excellent and was the rest of his team. I thoroughly recommend it.
01/25/2024
Our trip on board the Cataleya was amazing. We were treated to fantastic food, beautiful scenery and good company. I absolutely loved getting to go snorkeling and seeing all of the fish in the coral reefs. I would absolutely go on this trip again.
02/25/2024
A complete oasis away from the buzz of Phuket staying in secluded bays and beaches overnight, sleeping under the stars, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding and snorkelling as much as you like all whilst having an INCREDIBLE Thai chef on board - this is truly a once in a lifetime experience and the crew honestly made it amazing.
