About Phuket

Phuket is the undisputed capital of yacht charter in Southeast Asia. As Thailand's largest island, it combines world-class marina infrastructure at Yacht Haven, Royal Phuket Marina, and Ao Po Grand Marina with unrivalled access to the Andaman Sea's most spectacular destinations. The dry season from November to April brings mirror-flat seas, 30km visibility, and conditions that rival the Caribbean. Charter from Phuket and within one hour you can be exploring the sea caves of Phang Nga Bay, snorkeling on Racha Island's pristine reefs, or anchoring off the legendary Maya Bay on Phi Phi Leh.
