Private Yacht Charter Thailand – Andaman Sea 7 Days

✦ Package Overview

✦ Detailed Itinerary

• ✦ Day 1: Phuket Marina – Embarkation & Koh Racha Anchorage (B/L/D)
  Arrive at your Phuket marina hotel. At noon, board your 65-foot luxury motor yacht at Ao Po Grand Marina — a gleaming vessel of teak decks, air-conditioned cabins with en-suite bathrooms, a sun deck with daybeds and an outdoor dining table, a fully equipped kitchen, and a water sports platform at the stern. Meet your crew: captain, first mate, steward, and private chef. Your chef provides the week's menu briefing — all meals prepared fresh from market ingredients collected that morning, with every dietary preference accommodated. Sail south to Koh Racha Yai for the first anchorage. Swim in the remarkably clear water (visibility 15+ metres) directly from the yacht's stern ladder. Sundowner cocktails on the deck as the sun sets behind Phuket's hills in the distance. Private Thai dinner on the aft deck under the stars.
• ✦ Day 2: Phi Phi Islands – Maya Bay Dawn Anchorage (B/L/D)
  Depart at 5 AM to reach Maya Bay at the Phi Phi Islands by dawn — before any speedboat tours arrive. Anchor in the bay in the early morning silence: the limestone walls catching the first pink light, the water absolutely still, no other vessel in sight. This is Maya Bay as almost no visitor ever sees it. Swim, snorkel, kayak, or sit on the bow with coffee watching the light change. By 9 AM, the tour speedboats begin to arrive — you weigh anchor and move to the quieter southern beaches of Phi Phi Don. Anchor at Loh Dalum Bay for a mid-morning swim and paddleboard session. Your chef prepares a Thai lunch onboard. Afternoon: explore the channel between Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh by kayak — discovering smaller beaches and sea caves the speedboats never stop at. Anchor overnight at Phi Phi.
• ✦ Day 3: Phi Phi to Similan Islands (B/L/D)
  A full day's sailing northwest across open Andaman water to the Similan Islands — 100 km from Phuket, a journey of 5–6 hours in comfortable sea conditions. The open Andaman crossing is beautiful: flying fish leap from the bow wave, frigate birds circle overhead, and the sky and sea merge at the horizon. Your chef serves a relaxed lunch en route. As the Similan Islands rise from the sea in the late afternoon — granite boulders and jungle-covered hills above turquoise water — the first anchor is dropped in a sheltered bay between two islands. Evening snorkel directly from the yacht in absolute silence over a Similan reef as the sun sets. Dinner on deck: fresh grilled barramundi with coconut rice and Andaman sea salad. Sleep aboard anchored in a UNESCO marine park — a privilege available only to private yacht charter guests.
• ✦ Day 4: Similan Islands – Snorkeling & Richelieu Rock (B/L/D)
  A full day in the Similan Islands and the surrounding area. Dawn snorkel from the yacht before breakfast — the reef below glows in the morning light, and sea turtles are commonly sighted at this hour. After breakfast: visit Richelieu Rock — the submerged pinnacle that Jacques Cousteau called the world's finest dive site. The yacht anchors as close as conditions allow. Snorkelers dive directly from the platform: the marine density here is extraordinary — leopard sharks, whale sharks (seasonal), barracuda, tuna, manta rays, and coral-encrusted walls. Non-divers can observe from the glass-bottom compartment on the yacht's tender. Lunch aboard. Afternoon: beach landing on the Similan's most beautiful white sand beach — inaccessible without a private vessel and rarely visited due to national park regulations. Sundowners on the sand. Second overnight at Similan anchorage.
• ✦ Day 5: Similan to Phang Nga Bay – James Bond Island at Anchor (B/L/D)
  Morning departure from Similan, sailing southeast through the Andaman's island chain toward Phang Nga Bay. En route: stop at Koh Bon — a submerged pinnacle famous as a manta ray cleaning station — for a midday snorkel. The yacht then enters Phang Nga Bay in the late afternoon: 40 limestone karst islands rising dramatically from the mirror-calm bay water. Anchor near James Bond Island (Koh Tapu) as the afternoon tour boats depart — by 5 PM the bay is quiet and yours. Take the yacht's tender to circumnavigate the famous needle rock at water level. The evening light on the limestone towers is spectacular. Overnight at anchor in Phang Nga Bay — waking to dawn mist over the karst landscape is one of the great Thai natural experiences.
• ✦ Day 6: Phang Nga Sea Caves & Railay Beach (B/L/D)
  Morning sea cave kayaking from the yacht's tender — your private guide leads you through Phang Nga Bay's hidden hongs (enclosed tidal lagoons) in the quietest hours of the day. Back aboard, sail south to Krabi's Railay Beach — the most dramatically beautiful beach in Thailand, landlocked by 200-metre limestone karst cliffs and accessible only by sea. Drop anchor in Railay Bay. Take the tender to the beach — walk Railay West's perfect white sand, swim in the crystal bay, and watch rock climbers ascending the vertical karst walls above. Sunset cocktails on the yacht anchored in Railay Bay as the last light paints the cliffs amber. Final dinner aboard: your chef's special farewell menu — the finest dishes of the week revisited with a special dessert.
• ✦ Day 7: Krabi to Phuket Marina – Return & Transfer (B/L)
  Final morning. Dawn yoga on the sun deck (your steward is a certified yoga instructor). A final swim in Railay Bay. Your chef prepares a generous farewell breakfast. Sail back to Phuket's Ao Po Marina (approximately 3 hours). Disembark with handshakes from every crew member — they have been your private team for 7 extraordinary days. Transfer to your Phuket hotel or airport. Seven days on the private Andaman: Maya Bay at dawn, Similan reefs at sunset, Phang Nga's sea caves at sunrise, and Railay's cliffs from the water. Thailand's most exclusive way to travel.
