Yachting in Phuket waters presents a wonderful opportunity to experience Thailand’s many pleasures, ranging from tours of historic sites and Buddhist temples, savoring the delights of the island’s gorgeous beaches, shopping and dining in Phuket Town, to dancing the night away in chic nightclubs and enjoying the ambience of a laid-back waterfront bar. Cruising in Phuket is a splendid mix of island hopping in marine preserves and thrilling open-water passages south of the island in the shimmering Andaman Sea. In short, Phuket is a boater’s paradise in one of Asia’s most scenic countries.

Near the Moorings base at Ao Po Marina are two resorts with excellent accommodations and fine restaurants. The island of Phuket has so many attractions you could spend a week or two and not see them all. A trip to Phuket Town reveals a city with two distinct characters, the old and historic blended with the modern and chic. The shopping, dining, museums, theaters, and historic sites are enchanting. Phuket is world-famous for its resorts, particularly those on the west coast overlooking the Andaman Sea. You can visit the west coast during the northeast monsoon, when cruising there promises flat water and lots of sunshine. A trip to Phuket wouldn’t be complete without experiencing the FantaSea theme park, a celebration of everything Thai, including the superb cuisine.
Facilities for yachts are available at Ao Po Marina.
