Charter a superyacht in
Imagine yourself on the deck of a superyacht as it drifts through the breathtaking islands of Thailand. Imagine diving off the yacht into crystal clear water and swimming to a film-set beach for a walk before breakfast. You’re floating under a waterfall in the jungle. You’re sipping out of a fresh coconut, and you’re having a massage on the beach. You’re drinking a cocktail in a lively beach bar, watching the full moon rise over a crowd of revellers and painting them silver. You’re diving with gentle whale sharks, their white spots bright against the blue. Now, stop imagining. Let’s make this happen.
Thailand’s islands, nearly 1500 of them, stretch across six major groups, with the most iconic clustered around Phuket and Krabi. These karst-strewn seascapes offer jaw-dropping backdrops, but there’s far more to discover. Cruise south to the Similan and Surin Islands for world-class diving, or explore the wild beauty of Mu Ko Tarutao Marine Park, where Koh Lipe glows as a standout destination.

The Gulf of Thailand presents a different, but equally captivating, milieu of yacht-chartering opportunities beyond the Andaman Coast. Iconic islands such as Koh Samui, Koh Tao, and Ko Chang beckon to be explored, and cruising options abound even nearer to Bangkok, with islands like Koh Samet and Ko Chang. In terms of island vibe, beach life, and underwater encounters, nothing quite matches the diversity and depth of experience that Thailand offers in and around its Gulf.
Cruising in Thailand is at its best from mid-November to mid-April, when the heavy rains and thick humidity of the monsoon retreat. Though technically autumn and winter, temperatures stay in the low to mid-30s°C. The difference lies in calmer seas and lower humidity, making this peak tourist season a spectacular time to sail — with tropical beauty on full display and only the occasional warm downpour.
Outside the dry season, the monsoon brings higher humidity and less predictable seas, but also quieter anchorages and lush, vibrant landscapes. Rain typically falls in short tropical bursts, often clearing as quickly as it came — perfect for relaxing with a massage or cocktail on deck. In the Gulf of Thailand, the monsoon arrives and ends later, offering a slightly extended cruising window.
