Embark your yacht in the beautiful Ao Po Grand Marina and head off to the untapped island of Koh Yao. Part of the Phang Nga National Park, Koh Yao and Koh Yao Noi are pristine Thai delights. Emerald waters, the rising spires of limestone cliffs, and longtail boats perched on pure white sands set the scene for an amazing anchorage. While not a secret destination, there are fewer tourists on Koh Yao meaning that the island still retains its authentic vibe. Warm calm waters, greenery draping over the cliffs, and secret little beaches are sure to tempt charter guests in for hikes, swims, and renting a scooter to ride around and explore. For those looking to party, you may need to sail for a different island – Koh Yao is all about peace and tranquillity with little more socializing than sipping a cold beer in one of the very few bars.
A land of soaring limestone cliffs, white powdered sands, and Crayola coloured coral reefs, Koh Hong is a tiny island just a day trip away from South Thailand’s gem of Krabi. The Hong Lagoon can only be reached by a narrow opening making for an exciting gateway into the glorious island. Sitting in the Thanbok Kharanee National Park, Koh Hong’s cliffs are majestic in mood – swathed in velvet and standing tall, they add to the iconic postcard sight that makes Koh Hong such a dream. Snorkelling on the island is a delight with shoals of shimmering fish dressed in their best colours weaving worlds of wonder beneath the sea. White-faced gibbons and monitor lizards scuttle and swoop on the land. Take the kayak out to explore the drama of the limestone cliffs, swim in the brightest turquoise waters, and spend hours relaxing on the sands.
Made famous by its iconic outcrop, Koh Dam translates to ‘Chicken Island’ in Malay, and charter guests are sure to see why on the approach to this tropical haven. Located just a short distance southwest of the enamoured Rai Leh peninsula, Koh Dam forms part of a smattering of stunning islets, each framed by pristine white sand beaches and fragrant vegetation. Connected via sandbank to neighbouring Thale Waek, this secluded spot looks out across typical Thai landscapes of dramatic limestone, jade green waters and hazy indigo horizons. An idyllic experience for those wanting an authentic escape, you can choose to moor up on the eastern side of the island, allowing charter guests to admire its signature silhouette against the setting sun.
Koh Phi Phi Don is a dream. A scenic vision of lime rock karsts, azure waters, and sweeping sands sets the scene for another day in paradise. Some of the southern shores have been impacted by the tsunami although redevelopment is certainly underway. In the northeast, however, you will find areas of Phi Phi Don that are completely untouched by the trials and tribulations of wild weather. These northern shores are still home to Thailand’s indigenous ‘Sea Gypsies’. Phi Phi Don is one of the two main islands that make up the famed Phi Phi islands and being one of the main players means it is well set up to receive tourists. Snorkelling, sipping cocktails, feasting on the island’s signature seafood, and blissing out on the beaches can keep you rested. For those charter guests seeking a more bustling scene, there’s vibrant nightlife to be found in Tonsai Village and Loh Dalum Bay.
A true tropical haven, Koh Lanta sits pretty in the emerald waters of the Andaman Sea, a short distance from Krabi’s captivating coastline. Unspoilt in comparison to its renowned neighbour, Phi Phi, the island is alive with lush jungle, verdant coral reefs and clusters of stilted villages built by the hands of bygone sea gipsies. Relatively flat with reasonable roads, the island can become a playground for charter guests who are confident on motorbikes or scooters, with misty mountains and fragrant forests promising secret waterfall spots and captivating creeks lined with sinewy mangroves. The ultimate oasis of crystalline waters and breathtaking bathing spots, Koh Lanta is also an idyllic destination for diving.
Shake off the crowds and head for Krabi where palm-fringed beaches breathe easy beneath glowering limestone cliffs. Krabi is exactly the Thai delight you have been seeking. Making its home in the Hat Noppharat Thara-Ko Phi Phi National Park, you will find yourself smitten as you explore the pristine clean beaches and tiny tantalizing towns along these sweet sailing grounds. Krabi is also home to the world-famed Phi Phi Islands with their full moon parties and feature-length beaches made famous by Leonardo DiCaprio. Even beyond the fame of Phi Phi, charter guests will find a smorgasbord of salt and sun delights. Be sure to visit Koh Lanta with its rugged emerald jungle and its peaceful sands – a striking contrast to the parties of Phi Phi. Sailing these islands gifts you bustling resort towns, heaps of culture, incredible food, local encounters, and some truly special beaches.
Mai Thon Island, nestled amidst azure waters, is a haven for those seeking tranquility and natural splendor. Surrounded by lush greenery and pristine beaches, this tropical paradise offers the perfect escape from the bustle of everyday life. The island boasts exquisite coral reefs, making it a hot spot for snorkeling enthusiasts eager to explore the vibrant marine life. With its idyllic setting, Mai Thon Island invites visitors to indulge in captivating sunsets and gentle ocean breezes. Unwind with stunning ocean views and pampering spa treatments. Embark on an adventure filled with serenity and natural beauty in this unparalleled island destination.
To disembark return to Ao Po Grand Marina, known as the gateway to the breathtaking Phang Nga Bay. Sleek and stylish, the 300-berth marina offers around-the-clock accessibility and is free from the restrictions of the tide. Perfectly positioned on the easternmost coast of Phuket Island, the marina serves as a great base for tendering over to the nearby islets or heading inland instead, where elephant sanctuaries and waterfalls await. There are several golf courses nearby, as well as countless local eateries where the sublime scent of seafood and specialities drift out across blissful beach fronts fringed by banana plants. A perfect pitstop for using the faultless facilities, you could choose to anchor on one of the sheltered shorelines nearby and bring out the water toys for guests who can’t resist a dip in the Thai tropics.
