Experience Overview

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.

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.

Day 1: Phuket
Sa-wat dee! Welcome to Thailand. Your adventure begins in Phuket, Thailand’s largest and most popular island. Full of gorgeous beaches, this island also has a huge array of restaurants serving local flavours and plenty to explore, so you might want to consider arriving a couple of days early. Today, be ready to board and meet your skipper at 1 pm. After an orientation of the yacht, you’ll begin your journey across the Andaman Sea. Your skipper will select an island to anchor for the night where you’ll have time to enjoy a dip in the water, followed by a relaxing dinner on board and the first sunset of the trip!

Accommodation:

  • Overnight boat (Number of Nights: 1)

Day 2: Koh Phanak - Koh Hong – Koh Phak Bia
After breakfast on board, you’ll head to Koh Phanak, where you have the option to visit the ice cream cave, full of stalagmites and stalactites. Next, head to Koh Hong, where you’ll be given an instructional briefing for a kayak or paddleboard trip to the island. Enjoy a delicious Thai lunch on board when you return, then head to Koh Phak Bia, where you’ll spend the evening. You can swim, kayak or paddleboard here, or simply kick back on the yacht and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Your chef will treat you all to a delicious Thai dinner this evening.

Accommodation:

  • Overnight boat (Number of Nights: 1)

Day 3: Ko Daeng - Railay Beach, Krabi
This morning after breakfast, you’ll sail to Ko Daeng – an island with bright blue waters full of diverse marine life and the perfect spot to snorkel. After you snorkel and have some lunch, sail towards Railay Beach in the late afternoon. There will be plenty of time to relax at the beach, read a good book in the sun or walk the coastline. Railay Beach has some great restaurants, too, so tonight you can join the group for an optional dinner on the beachfront at one of the local favourites that features live music. Later, head back to the yacht which will be anchored in the bay, via a longtail boat – a real Thai experience!

Accommodation:

  • Overnight boat (Number of Nights: 1)
4
Day 4: Koh Phi Phi
After breakfast on board, head towards the most talked about place in Thailand – Koh Phi Phi. For many, this is the iconic image of Thailand – two islands connected by a great arc of pure white sand, striking limestone cliffs and inviting waters. Travellers are drawn to the island thanks to its colourful marine life, as well as the array of shops, bars, restaurants and fire spectacles on the beach. You'll arrive at approximately 12 pm, offering plenty of free time to explore at your own pace. In the late afternoon, meet back with your skipper and other group members and sail to Koh Phi Phi Leh for the night.

Accommodation:

  • Overnight boat (Number of Nights: 1)
5
Day 5: Koh Phi Phi Leh - Ko Khai - Koh Mai Thon
Rise and shine for a picture-perfect morning! You’ll enjoy a leisurely breakfast prepared by your chef, then you’ll sail towards Viking Cave to learn about the fascinating history of the limestone cliff and cave underneath. Next, sail to Ko Khai – a small collection of islands out in the middle of the Andaman Sea. Here, you can go snorkelling and swim among brightly coloured corals and huge schools of tropical fish. After lunch on board, continue sailing towards Koh Mai Thon and arrive in the late afternoon. Celebrate the crystal-clear waters of the area with a spot of kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, swimming or snorkelling – or just take this chance to relax on board with a good book. Join your group for dinner on the boat and kick back with a drink, watching the sunset.

Accommodation:

  • Overnight boat (Number of Nights: 1)
6
Day 6: Koh Hae (Coral Island) - Koh Man - Nui Beach, Phuket
Sail to Koh Hae, also known also as Coral Island, for a morning snorkel or kayak followed by lunch on board. After, sail toward the Koh Man Islands and stop for a snorkel between Koh Man and Nui Beach. If you prefer to be above water, you can instead go kayaking and paddleboarding here. Tonight, head to Nui Beach via dingy and head out for an optional dinner at one of the many restaurants on the beachfront. Nui Beach is known for being one of the most beautiful beaches in Thailand, as it resembles a private beach and is only accessible by boat (or by trekking across the jungle). Return to the yacht, where you might want to consider spending your final evening sleeping under the stars out on the deck.

Accommodation:

  • Overnight boat (Number of Nights: 1)

Day 7: Phuket
Take a last-minute swim this morning before a smooth sail brings you to your final destination – Phuket Island, at approximately 12 pm. Arguably Thailand’s most well-known and certainly its largest island, Phuket is full of sunshine exotica and modern pizazz. This is where your Andaman seafaring odyssey comes to an end. Phuket has some excellent beaches and a huge array of restaurants, hotels, bars and shopping, so you might want to stick around a couple of days to check it out properly. You’re free to explore all that Phuket has to offer, or to continue your onward journey home.
