Thailand Yacht Charter
Thailand, renowned for its stunning landscapes and vibrant culture, is a sailor's paradise waiting to be explored. Embarking from the bustling hub of Phuket, Navigare Yachting offers a range of charter options tailored to every sailor's preference, from experienced seafarers to those new to island-hopping via private yacht charter.
Sailboat Charter Options: Bareboat vs Skippered
Navigare Yachting distinguishes itself with flexible charter options:
- Bareboat Charter: Ideal for seasoned sailors or those with sailing certifications, this option provides complete autonomy over your journey. Navigate the Andaman Sea's crystalline waters independently aboard a well-equipped yacht.
- Skippered Charter: Perfect for those looking to relax and enjoy the scenery without worrying about navigation. A professional skipper, knowledgeable about local waters and hidden gems, ensures a seamless voyage.
Best Times of Year to Sail in Thailand
Thailand's sailing season is influenced by monsoons, making the months of November to April ideal for sailing. During these months, northeast monsoon winds (locally known as the "cool season") create calm seas and pleasant sailing conditions. This period is perfect for exploring Thailand's islands, as rainfall is minimal, and temperatures are comfortably warm, ranging from 25°C to 32°C.
