Why Charter Here

Thailand's Andaman coast is one of Southeast Asia's most rewarding yacht charter destinations. The scenery is extraordinary — limestone towers erupting from clear green water, hidden lagoons accessible only by tender, and beaches that feel genuinely undiscovered. From Phuket, guests can reach Phang Nga Bay, the Phi Phi Islands, and the Similan Islands within comfortable day cruises.

What sets Thailand apart from other tropical charter destinations is the combination of natural beauty, world-class diving, and Thai culture. The food alone justifies the voyage — from fresh seafood at beachside restaurants to Michelin-starred dining in Phuket Town. The hospitality is genuine and generous, and the infrastructure supports a comfortable charter experience.

Drivas Yachts works with a select fleet of motor yachts and sailing yachts operating from Phuket's modern marinas. We can design itineraries from short four-day Phang Nga explorations to ambitious twelve-day voyages reaching the Similan Islands and beyond. The Andaman season (November to April) offers reliably excellent conditions.
