Thailand luxury yacht charters are booming: This alternative year-round destination to the Mediterranean and Caribbean has diverse and dramatic wildlife, beautiful cultural sites unique to the region, friendly locals and a world-renowned cuisine that you can experience straight from the source.
Thailand yacht charter vacations aboard Ocean Emerald yacht
Southeast Asia has some of the most incredible marine diversity anywhere on the planet and Thailand draws Scuba divers from across the world to see blue-spotted stingray, pufferfish, angelfish, reef sharks, turtles and much more. There are shallow dive sites for beginners through to drift dives to challenge the more advanced, but guests don’t need to have their Scuba gear on hand to enjoy the vast variety Thailand has to offer.

Visit the Phuket markets and galleries then disappear to the best beaches among Koh Phi Phi and other nearby islands away from the main tourist tracks. Hike through the verdant jungle along the coast then rest along pristine beaches or find your favourite water toys from your luxury yacht and spend hours in the crystal clear sea.
Phra Thong Temple or Wat Phra Pud, Phuket
Make Phang Nga Bay your retreat from city noise and bright lights to watch the stars come out in the sky, then wake to the perfect serenity of waves gently lapping at the hull. Begin your day with breakfast alfresco with family and friends in preparation for a day packed with activities. When you want some time to yourself, dip into the Jacuzzi or rest on the sunbeds ahead of an alfresco dinner by candlelight. Your expert crew will be on-hand throughout your time on board to ensure you have the best possible experience.
