Sail Phuket to Ko Phi Phi
Feel the wind in your hair as you set sail through the paradisical surroundings of Thailand's west coast. Plunge into the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea, relax on powdery white beaches and watch the sunset every night from the beach or your yacht. From bustling Phuket to postcard-perfect Koh Phi Phi, you’ll go snorkelling through the clear waters of Ko Daeng, discover ice cream-shaped stalactites and stalagmites in Koh Phanak and kayak to your heart’s content in Koh Hong.
Sa-wat dee! Welcome to Thailand. Your adventure begins in Phuket, Thailand’s largest and most popular island. Full of gorgeous beaches, this island also has a huge array of restaurants serving local flavours and plenty to explore, so you might want to consider arriving a couple of days early. Today, be ready to board and meet your skipper at 1 pm. After an orientation of the yacht, you’ll begin your journey across the Andaman Sea. Your skipper will select an island to anchor for the night where you’ll have time to enjoy a dip in the water, followed by a relaxing dinner on board and the first sunset of the trip!
After breakfast on board, you’ll head to Koh Phanak, where you have the option to visit the ice cream cave, full of stalagmites and stalactites. Next, head to Koh Hong, where you’ll be given an instructional briefing for a kayak or paddleboard trip to the island. Enjoy a delicious Thai lunch on board when you return, then head to Koh Phak Bia, where you’ll spend the evening. You can swim, kayak or paddleboard here, or simply kick back on the yacht and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Your chef will treat you all to a delicious Thai dinner this evening.
This morning after breakfast, you’ll sail to Ko Daeng – an island with bright blue waters full of diverse marine life and the perfect spot to snorkel. After you snorkel and have some lunch, sail towards Railay Beach in the late afternoon. There will be plenty of time to relax at the beach, read a good book in the sun or walk the coastline. Railay Beach has some great restaurants, too, so tonight you can join the group for an optional dinner on the beachfront at one of the local favourites that features live music. Later, head back to the yacht which will be anchored in the bay, via a longtail boat – a real Thai experience!
After breakfast on board, head towards the most talked about place in Thailand – Koh Phi Phi. For many, this is the iconic image of Thailand – two islands connected by a great arc of pure white sand, striking limestone cliffs and unbelievably inviting water. Travellers are drawn to the island thanks to its colourful marine life, as well as the array of shops, bars, restaurants and fire spectacles on the beach. Arriving at approximately 12 pm, this is where your adventure comes to an end. You’re now free to explore all that Phi Phi has to offer, or to continue your onward journey home. If you need help booking extra accommodation, just reach out to your booking agent ahead of time.
