Discover Thailand by Yacht

With our own base in Phuket and a fleet of 15 modern catamarans that we own and operate, you can book with complete confidence – knowing you’ll enjoy the same high standards of service, safety, and reliability that Fairview Sailing is known for.

Here are five destinations not to miss on your Phuket yacht charter:

1. Phang Nga Bay – A natural wonderland

Sail among towering limestone cliffs and emerald-green waters in Phang Nga Bay. This UNESCO-protected marine area is perfect for relaxed sailing, paddleboarding, and exploring caves by kayak.

James Bond Island is the star attraction, but the real magic lies in the peaceful lagoons and sheltered anchorages scattered throughout the bay.

2. The Phi Phi Islands – Energy and beauty combined

Just a short sail from Phuket, the Phi Phi Islands deliver the ultimate blend of adventure and relaxation.

Spend the day snorkelling vibrant reefs, take a dip in Maya Bay’s crystal waters, then enjoy a lively evening with beachfront dining or cocktails under the stars.

3. The Similan Islands – Thailand’s diving capital

A remote marine park best explored between November and May, the Similan Islands are renowned for incredible underwater visibility.

With pristine reefs, manta rays, and even whale sharks, it’s a paradise for divers and one of Southeast Asia’s top eco-tourism spots.

4. Koh Hong – A secret lagoon escape

Koh Hong is the definition of a hidden gem. Accessible only by boat, its interior lagoon is surrounded by sheer cliffs and best entered at high tide.
