THAILAND
- Thailand was made for catamarans. You will hardly dock in a port!
- If you are looking for few yachts around you but still want to explore and enjoy yourself ashore Thailand is the right place for you
- Thailand is not difficult to sail, still you should be confident in anchoring and have a basic understanding of tides and currents
- Thailand is perfect to make the move from a monohull to a catamaran
- Consider booking a professional skipper that will show you around or assist you in case you lack confidence
- Numerous islands allow for shorter as well as longer routes, whatever you prefer.
There are only few Charter-Catamarans (and also monohulls) in Thailand. Therefore its remains quiet.
Any size of catamaran is suitable for sailing in Thailand. To stay independet a catamaran with watermaker (desalination plant) is recommended.
Choose Bareboat Cats from 38-40 feet and Crewed Cats from 45-62 Fuss for the best value for money.

DIVERSITY AND OPTIONS
Thailand is a sailing paradise.
very few yachts are cruising Thailand and the same applies to the availability of charter yachts. There are very few ports usable for yachts and ervey anchorage is a highlight, be it in front of a beach, between rocks or in a narrow channel. The Thai kitchen is delicious and extremely affordable. Nature is an integral part of a sailing trip in Thailand.
