Bareboat Charter
For experienced skippers seeking independent cruising.
Discover Thailand’s islands your own way with a bareboat yacht charter. For experienced sailors, Yachting Thailand offers a fleet of well-maintained sailing yachts ready for independent adventures across the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand. No skipper, no schedule - just pure freedom at sea.
In Thailand the choice is between chartering a yacht in Phuket or Pattaya. In recent years Pattaya has become the more popular place to learn to sail in Thailand, largely due to the fact that there are much fewer tourists on the water and therefore its a much more pleasant place to enjoy your sailing course. Both locations are excellent for a week of fun and learning and both have great cruising areas accessible by bareboat charter. The Sailing Challenge Phuket 7 day Bareboat Charter will involve an overnight sail, sailing directly to a destination and returning on the third day. During the charter you will be responsible for the yacht's daily upkeep and cleaning as well as cooking for yourselves. All equipment needed for the charter and an outboard for the tender is included. You will also be required to keep a log book which will be reviewed by your instructor at the end of the charter. A cash budget of approximately 200,000 baht per yacht for the week is realistic.
Why Choose a Bareboat Charter?
A bareboat charter gives you total control of your sailing experience. You decide where to go, when to anchor, and how to explore. Cruise through Phuket’s hidden coves, visit Koh Samui’s quiet beaches, or enjoy Pattaya’s coastal routes at your own pace.
