Phang Nga Bay

Phang Nga Bay itinerary

Day 01 The suggested departure point for a seven-day cruise from Phuket would be the Yacht Haven Marina, on the northeastern corner of the island. The marina is located just 15 minutes from Phuket International airport.

Once guests are on board, cruise to Phang Nga Bay (15nm). Famous for its 100 or so monolithic limestone kast islets, the area offers breathtaking scenery and is classed as a World Heritage Site. Some of the attractions include sea kayaking among the islands and a visit to a traditional stilted Muslim shing village called Koh Panyi. But probably most famous of all the highlights is James Bond Island, featured in The Man with the Golden Gun.

Krabi

Krabi itinerary

Days 02-03 An hour’s sail southeast from Phang Nga is the Province of Krabi. Similar in many respects to Phang Nga bay, Krabi also offers stunning limestone islands, but adds some beautiful powder white beaches and clearer water for snorkeling and scuba diving. Krabi’s mainland tourist resort town of Ao Nang others world-class hotels and resorts.

Within the coastal boundaries of Krabi lie some dream islands. Phi Phi Lay and Phi Phi Don are probably the most recognizable and beautiful, but farther to the south are Lanta Yai and Lanta Noi islands. Lanta offers a couple of great dive sites known as Hin Daeng.

Patong Bay

Patong Bay itinerary

Days 04-05 After three days at sea, now could be a good time to offer guests a chance to visit some of Phuket’s better known resort areas.

Patong Bay is always a popular outing. Souvenir shopping, fine restaurants, tailors, good jewelry shops, massage parlors and a vibrant street atmosphere are all part of the Patong culture. Venturing ashore in the evening, guests can witness some rather extraordinary shows and cabaret acts; however, these should be undertaken at captain’s discretion and charter guests’ preference. Local yacht agents are happy to give guidance. Phuket has five championship standard golf courses. Send the guests for a round of golf followed by a treatment at one of the island’s many top quality spas.
