Sailing Phuket

Phuket is Southeast Asia's premier sailing hub. The Andaman Sea offers calm waters, dramatic limestone scenery, and island-to-island distances that work perfectly for everything from sunset day sails to 14-night expeditions south to Koh Lipe.

This is what makes sailing in Phuket exceptional:

  • Warm turquoise water and world-class tropical island scenery
  • Routes for every mood: romantic, adventurous, family-friendly, or unhurried
  • Access to iconic destinations: Phi Phi Islands, Phang Nga Bay, Racha Islands, Koh Hong
  • Day sails, sunset cruises, or extended multi-day exploration — all from Chalong Bay

What type of trip are you planning?

Here are the three most common starting points:

Day Sailing Phuket (private)

Day Sailing Phuket (private)

A full day on the Andaman Sea with swimming, snorkeling, and island stops — no overnight commitment required.

Sunset Sailing

Sunset Sailing

Shorter, scenic, and high-impact. Perfect for couples, families, and special celebrations.

Overnight Sailing (our top recommendation)

Overnight Sailing (our top recommendation)

More time, more calm, more of what a real sailing holiday should feel like. You'll reach places day trips never do.

Overnight Sailing Trips Phuket

If you want the trip that people talk about for years, choose overnight sailing. Day trips are enjoyable — but overnight is where Phuket becomes quiet, unhurried, and genuinely unforgettable.

Why overnight sailing feels different

  • No rushing back to the pier before sunset
  • Swim in calm, empty bays before the day-trip boats arrive
  • Sunset and sunrise at anchor in some of Thailand's most beautiful spots
  • Reach islands that day-trippers never see — Koh Rok, Koh Ha, the Butang Islands
  • Time for snorkeling, beaches, viewpoints, and doing absolutely nothing

Our honest recommendation

5 nights minimum (if you can)

If your schedule allows, 5+ nights is the sweet spot for Phuket sailing. That's when you escape the busiest tourist zones and reach quieter, more rewarding destinations.

Three standout "off-the-beaten-track" destinations reachable on 5+ night charters:

Koh Rok

Strikingly clear water and a quieter, more remote atmosphere

Koh Ha

Stunning lagoons and some of the best snorkeling in Thailand

Butang Islands / Koh Lipe (7+ nights)

Fewest crowds, extraordinary landscapes above and below the waterline

These areas are far less busy than Phuket's most popular day-trip zones like Phang Nga Bay or Phi Phi Islands. That's why we consistently recommend 5 nights minimum for guests who want the best Phuket sailing experience.

Plan your trip

Shorter overnights still deliver

If your schedule is tighter, we'll plan a route that feels worthwhile and unhurried:

1–2 nights

1–2 nights: Phi Phi Islands and Racha Islands — classic Phuket sailing in a tight window

3–4 nights

3–4 nights: a wider loop with more island variety and real adventure

5–14 nights

5–14 nights: the best destinations in Thailand, at the right pace
