Rent a boat with or without a skipper

Many of our boat charters in Thailand come with the option of sailing with a skipper and/or crew. Although this may come at an extra cost, having a skipper on board can, no doubt, provide you with an even more enjoyable experience! Your skipper can adapt the sailing route so that your voyage best suits the desires of you and the rest of your party.

Additionally, setting sail with a skipper will make your voyage even more comfortable! The skipper will take care of all the technical aspects of sailing, so all you need to do is sit back and relax.

If you would like to take charge of your boat charter in Thailand, then bareboat charters are the way to go. Enjoy a bareboat charter if you have a license and set sail at your own pace. You need a valid boating license to enjoy a boat this way so check with the boat owner beforehand to see that your license is valid.

When is the best time of year to rent a boat?

The high season, which typically spans from November to February, is the ideal time. During this period, you can expect cooler temperatures and lower humidity, creating comfortable conditions for sailing. The approximate average temperature during the high season ranges from the mid-70s°F to the low 80s°F.

If you plan to visit Thailand just outside of the high season, the months before and after offer favorable conditions as well. The shoulder seasons of March to April and October to early November still provide pleasant temperatures, ranging from the high 70s°F to the mid-80s°F.

What type of boat is best for a Thailand boat charter?

Before choosing the right vessel for your boat rental in Thailand, you first have to think about the duration of your holiday. If you’re only going to sail for a few days, it is best to opt for a daily charter such as a motorboat or a RIB. With the speed of these vessels, you’ll be able to see everything on your wish list in no time. If you’re planning a longer charter of a week or more you should choose a vessel that includes amenities you’ll need during your stay. Catamarans and yachts have the space and accommodations on board to ensure a comfortable stay on the water. For a more luxurious holiday, you might consider a gulet, and a sailboat for an authentic sailing experience.

If you’re unsure about whether or not a vessel suits your needs, feel free to contact the boat owners to get a better sense of what is included on board. With our large fleet, you’ll have no problem finding the perfect boat for your Thailand boat charter!
