It doesn't get much better than a 7-day sailing adventure through Thailand’s best islands. Spend your time enjoying sublime seascapes, snorkelling through turquoise waters, relaxing on white beaches and discovering craggy limestone peaks by boat. Welcome to the beautiful Andaman Sea! This is your chance to experience the region with the wind in your hair and the sun and salt on your skin. From the iconic landscape of Koh Phi Phi to bustling Phuket – this yacht adventure gives you plenty of time to swim, snorkel, paddleboard and kayak by day and chill out on the deck watching the sunset by night. With a like-minded group by your side and a private chef cooking up fresh Thai flavours – what better way to spend a week in Thailand?

Why you'll love this trip
  • Leave behind the vibrant, modern pizzazz of Phuket and set sail on the beautifully calm waters of the Andaman Sea – by yacht no less!
  • Slip into the beach-loving life with long walks on the finest white sands and salty swims in the inviting azure waters of Thailand’s best beaches.
  • There are few things more relaxing than sleeping out beneath the stars, rocked by the gentle pitch of a yacht. Choose to spend a night on the deck and see for yourself.
  • Feast on delicious food with no effort at all – you’ll have the added benefit of an onboard chef, whipping up Thai favourites daily.
  • Relax with the knowledge that the biggest decision of the day is whether to paddleboard, snorkel, swim with the tropical fish or kayak across shimmering seas.

Is this trip right for you?
  • As most of this trip takes place on a sailing boat, you’ll need to feel comfortable with moving about the vessel, including stairs. Your friendly crew will be able to help with the effects of sea sickness if needed.  
  • Time on the water also means time in the sun. Remember to pack sun protection, such as sunscreen and a hat, and drink plenty of water to keep hydrated. See ‘Essential Trip Information’ below for a full packing list.

AACCOMMODATION ON BOARD THE YACHT
This trip is accommodated on board a 58 foot, twin-hulled sailing catamaran. Our boat is equipped with 1 x twin-share, 2 x double-share and 2 x quad-share cabins each with en-suite bathrooms and fans.
The skipper will allocate the rooms on arrival to the boat and single travellers will be paired up with another passenger of the same sex, this may mean sharing a double mattress. The skipper will also be sharing the catamaran's facilities and sleeping quarters.
While some may find the living quarters quite close, those who are looking to revel in the adventure and exhilaration of an authentic sailing trip usually find any discomfort is more than made up for by the spirit of this sailing experience.

It was an amazing week on Cataleya - Rob was a great host, always making sure everybody was comfortable and safe. The crew went above and beyond to give us the best time: preparing super-delicious Thai food, having kayaks and paddle boards available (and help us get on 😉), dinghy shuttles and of course sailing and handling Cataleya, so all we had to do was relax, enjoy the view, snorkel, paddle, eat, swim, sleep - and repeat 😀 I highly recommend the trip also for (female) solo travelers since you will meet like-minded people and have a lot of fun together! Do not miss the early morning sunrise swims 😉

I had a fantastic week sailing around Puket bay.The yacht was very comfortable and clean and food excellent and plentiful. I loved the kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkeling. Our guide was excellent and was the rest of his team. I thoroughly recommend it.

Our trip on board the Cataleya was amazing. We were treated to fantastic food, beautiful scenery and good company. I absolutely loved getting to go snorkeling and seeing all of the fish in the coral reefs. I would absolutely go on this trip again.

A complete oasis away from the buzz of Phuket staying in secluded bays and beaches overnight, sleeping under the stars, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding and snorkelling as much as you like all whilst having an INCREDIBLE Thai chef on board - this is truly a once in a lifetime experience and the crew honestly made it amazing.
