YACHT CHARTER IN THAILAND
My recent yacht charter in Thailand was nothing short of spectacular. It promised to be a truly magical trip with breathtaking scenery and it did not disappoint. The powdery white sand beaches framed by lush greenery and the turquoise, crystal-clear waters, the stunning rock formations and natural coves, the vibrant underwater world teeming with colorful fish and coral reefs – it was fantastic!
Every evening, we watched beautiful sunsets on the flybridge while enjoying great food, drinks, music, and company. The nights were pleasantly warm and the breeze from the open ocean provided a feel-good temperature day and night. The Andaman Sea has clear, warm waters, and the luxury and comfort the yacht provided was perfect for exploring the best Thailand has to offer, paired with gourmet meals, sunbathing on deck, and stargazing at night.
Ko Hong: Nature's Tranquil Haven
On our first day we were welcomed by the captain and crew on board the yacht in the harbour of Phuket. We then left the Phuket harbour and cruised with the yacht to Ko Hong, a serene island renowned for its breathtaking lagoon, hidden within towering limestone cliffs. We anchored with the yacht outside of Ko Hong and watched as a handful of kayaks paddled towards us to take us inside Ko Hong. The nature was indescribably beautiful and it was peacefully quiet as the kayaks glided through the crystal-clear waters of the lagoon. We admired the lush greenery and melodious calls of exotic birds as we soaked in the natural beauty.
James Bond Island: A Cinematic Wonder
Next, we cruised to the iconic James Bond Island, Khao Phing Kan, in Phang Nga Bay. The island’s dramatic limestone karsts, rising from the emerald-green waters, created a mesmerizing landscape. Exploring the island's unique rock formations and caves felt like stepping into a movie scene, teleporting you into the iconic James Bond movie "The Man with the Golden Gun".
Phi Phi Islands: Tropical Paradise
The Phi Phi Islands were one of many highlights of our trip. We anchored near Maya Bay, made famous by the movie "The Beach", where we had an exquisite lunch on board prepared by our private chef before continuing our cruise to Phi Phi Don where we visited Monkey Beach. The beach is home to playful monkeys and the soft sands and clear waters made it a perfect spot for sunbathing, snorkeling and swimming. Snorkeling in these clear, warm waters revealed a vibrant underwater world teeming with colorful fish and coral reefs. Phi Phi Islands were absolutely stunning and it simply felt like paradise to me.
Ko He: The Coral Island
Next on our journey, we visited Ko He, also known as Coral Island. Renowned for its vibrant coral reefs, Ko He offered some of the best snorkeling and diving experiences. The underwater scenery is filled with fish of every color and shape darting among the corals. The island’s beaches are perfect for relaxing, and the surrounding waters provide ample opportunities for using the yacht’s water sports toys. The chef prepared an excellent dinner with typical Thai cuisine and mango sticky rice which we enjoyed on the flybridge while watching the sunset.
Ko Racha Yai: Diving Paradise
Ko Racha Yai was a diver's paradise, with its crystal-clear waters and abundant marine life. We explored the island’s famous dive and snorkeling sites, encountering a variety of sea creatures, from colorful reef fish to graceful manta rays. The island's white sandy beaches and azure waters made it a picturesque spot for relaxation and sunbathing. The vibrant coral gardens and underwater visibility made our excursions truly spectacular.
Ko Rang Yai: Relaxation and Adventure
The next day the yacht anchored near Ko Rang Yai, an island that offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. We took the Jet Ski to explore surrounding islands and beaches and even saw a pearl farm not far from a neighboring island. After a gourmet lunch on board, we took the tender to the beach where we enjoyed some fresh coconuts and drinks at a beachside bar and simply took in the scenery – it was perfection!
The cuisine, the culture, and people, the yacht and the crew, the breathtaking scenery, and just the most amazing time cruising around an incredible charter destination – truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I would not have wanted to miss!
Memories that will last a lifetime!
