Is it possible to rent a boat in Thailand with or without a skipper?

Currently, to sail in Thailand, the boat must be under the responsibility of a person holding a coastal licence that corresponds to the size of the vessel you have chartered. If you meet these requirements, then you will have the opportunity to sail in one of the most beautiful seas in the world.

However, if you do not have a boat licence, you can book a boat rental in Thailand with a skipper who will take you to some hidden destinations along the coast. The moment you see the crystal-clear waters and the different landscapes, you will feel as if you’ve stumbled onto another planet and will be longing for more!

What to do in Thailand?

Thailand is surrounded by the Andaman Sea in the West and the Gulf of Thailand in the East. The country stretches for over 1000 miles, from the Burmese border in the North to the Malay Peninsula in the South.

Whether this is your first time visiting or your hundredth, we highly recommend starting your holiday in Bangkok, a bustling metropolis and the country’s capital. Bangkok is known for its many temples, markets, shopping malls and impressive skyscrapers. Our must-sees include the Grand Palace complex, which features the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Nearby, you can also visit the Wat Pho, also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and the Wat Arun. If you fancy trying some of Thailand’s cuisine, no place beats Yaowarat (the Bangkok Chinatown) and Khao San Road. These two areas have plenty of street food vendors and restaurants with plenty of mouth-watering delights!

After Bangkok, we recommend heading south towards the country’s many islands and beaches. Thailand is divided into multiple tourist areas:

• On the Andaman coast, we recommend setting sail from the island of Phuket or the town of Krabi. This part of the country is known for its white-sand beaches and national parks. With your charter, there are plenty of sailing destinations to visit such as Phang Nga Bay, James Bond Island (Koh Hong), the Phi Phi islands with the mythical Maya Bay, Koh Lanta, Koh Lipe and much more!
• With your yacht charter in Thailand, you can also set sail in the idyllic Gulf of Thailand. The most famous islands here include Koh Samui, Koh Tao and Koh Pha Ngan. Here, you will be able to explore the many beaches, coves and snorkelling spots!

How is the weather and sailing conditions in Thailand?

The ideal time to charter a yacht in Thailand is undoubtedly from December to March. Temperatures during this period are warm, but not too hot. The rainy season, from June to October, is not recommended. Although it doesn’t rain all day long, downpours are often extreme and unpredictable.

How to get to Thailand?

The main airport in Thailand for international flights is Bangkok Suvarnabhumi, located in the country’s capital. There are plenty of direct flights from the major UK airports, which fly here. In the south of the country, there is also Phuket International Airport, another important gateway to the country.
