Phuket Island

Sailing and Yachting

Phuket Sailing and Yachting: Phang Nga BayPhuket, located in the Andaman Sea with its clear sparkling waters, is a natural base for sailing and yachting. This is packed with accommodation facilities and yachting services for all kinds. At the same time, there are scores of uninhabited islands to explore and despite the many attractions, the Andaman Sea has yet to become congested with boat traffic.
The Andaman Sea has very good weather conditions all year and is comparable to any region in the world in this respect.
The long northeast monsoon season from November to May creates the best climate for sailing, with the best winds from November to February. The weather conditions are then even better than those in the Mediterranean. Steady winds, clear skies, together with flat seas and clean, clear 26ºC water allow for the finest sailing experiences. Related activities such as windsurfing and diving are a pure pleasure, no wetsuit needed!

The western coast of Thailand is then exposed to squalls and heavy seas from the Indian Ocean. However, in the calm and protected waters on the eastern side of Phuket, safe and exciting sailing is possible all year. There are safe harbors and a full range of yachting facilities available in Ao Chalong and Laem Phrao. Good sailing is also possible throughout the whole of Phang Nga Bay with its towering calcareous rock formations.
In Phuket Town there are many sailing boats available for charter at quite reasonable prices. Some even offer facilities to share the cost and enjoyment of operating larger boats with several other sailors.
