Andaman Sea Destinations

Krabi Province

Phi Phi Islands

Two hours east of Phuket, where limestone towers erupt from impossibly clear water, the Phi Phi Islands remain the Andaman's most photographed escape. Chartering your own crewed motor yacht or catamaran turns them from a crowded day-trip checklist into something unhurried and yours: early swims in Pileh Lagoon, quiet reefs, and sundowners on deck long after the tour boats have gone.

Phang Nga Province

Phang Nga Bay

Phang Nga Bay is the Andaman's most cinematic seascape: hundreds of limestone towers rising sheer from jade-green water, hidden lagoons you reach by kayak, and stilt villages tucked beneath the cliffs. Chartering a private yacht from Phuket turns a rushed group excursion into an unhurried day of caves, coves and calm anchorages, moving at your own pace and timing the tides to have the bay's best moments almost to yourself.

Phang Nga Province

Similan Islands

Few places in Thailand reward a private yacht like the Similan Islands. This protected chain of nine granite islands, set far out in the Andaman off Phuket, offers powder-white beaches, water of astonishing clarity and world-class diving, all best savoured on an unhurried overnight voyage. Reach them by charter and you trade the day-tripper's rush for empty bays at sunrise.

Krabi Province

Krabi & Railay

Just a couple of hours east of Phuket, Krabi and Railay trade open sea for a labyrinth of limestone: sheer cliffs, hidden lagoons and beaches you can only reach by boat. Chartering your own catamaran or sailing yacht lets you slip in before the day-trip flotillas and stay long after they leave, anchoring beneath the karsts with the water and the crew entirely to yourself. It is the Andaman at its most cinematic, on your own unhurried terms.

Phang Nga Bay

James Bond Island

Few sights capture the imagination like Ko Tapu, the slender limestone tower that made James Bond Island famous. Chartering your own yacht from Phuket turns a bucket-list photograph into a full day of hidden lagoons, sea caves and stilted fishing villages, explored at your own pace and on your own tide. It is Phang Nga Bay the way it was meant to be seen, unhurried, private and quietly spectacular.
