Thailand 7-Day Sailing Itinerary: Phuket, Phang Nga, Krabi, Phi Phi & Racha
Looking for inspiration? Check out our curated Thai sailing itineraries for Phuket, Phang Nga Bay, and Koh Samui, featuring the best anchorages, diving sites, and island experiences.
View Day-by-DayA Thailand yacht charter puts you on Andaman limestone karsts, island hops and warm-water anchorages around Phuket, with Koh Samui and Krabi as alternate starts. Most fleets base at Phuket Yacht Haven or Ao Po. Compare start harbours in our Thailand charter bases guide.
High season brings reliable sailing weather on the Andaman side and busy popular bays. Monsoon timing differs east and west, so competent crews match the coast to the month. Shoulder weeks can feel quieter without losing the scenery.
From bareboats to skippered catamarans and fully crewed yachts, we match you to the right platform for Phuket circuits, Krabi approaches and Koh Samui-area weeks.

Yacht Charter Thailand FAQs
Bareboat usually needs an ICC or equivalent recognised by the operator, plus recent coastal experience. Skippered and crewed weeks do not require you to skipper. We confirm paperwork before booking.
On the Andaman (Phuket/Krabi) side, roughly November to April is the classic high season. The Gulf (Koh Samui) window differs. Match the coast to the month rather than forcing one itinerary year-round.
A mid-size monohull or catamaran week often sits in the mid thousands before extras in high season; peak weeks and larger crewed boats cost more. Fuel, marina or mooring fees, national park fees and optional crew sit on top. Ask for a personalised quote.
Yacht use for the week, standard inventory and contractual insurance. Fuel, overnight fees, park fees where applicable, food and optional skipper or hostess are usually extras.
Most weeks start at Phuket (Yacht Haven/Ao Po), with Koh Samui area and Krabi as alternate bases. See the Thailand charter bases page for harbour-by-harbour notes.
Bareboat suits experienced crews comfortable with tropical briefings, busy bays and park-fee logistics. Skippered is popular for first Phuket weeks and celebrations where local routing into karst anchorages helps.
Monsoon timing by coast, busy high-season bays and national park rules are the main constraints. Do not assume walk-up overnight space in the most famous anchorages in peak weeks.
Yes. A classic Phuket week covers Phang Nga and nearby island highlights without forcing Koh Samui into the same itinerary. Pick one coast and sail it well.
