Embark on a traditional long-tail boat excursion from Koh Yang to two of southern Thailand’s most iconic locations in Phang Nga Bay. The first stop is James Bond Island, officially named Koh Phing Kan, made famous by the 1974 movie The Man with the Golden Gun. Marvel at the dramatic limestone karst formations rising vertically from the emerald sea — a favorite for photographers and film lovers alike. From there, continue to Koh Panyee, a remarkable floating village built entirely on stilts above the water.

Enhance your sailing holiday in Thailand with a moment of pure relaxation on the shores of Ao Nang, Krabi’s beloved beach resort town. Disembark for a professional Thai massage session, offered in open-air seaside spas or shaded garden pavilions. Rooted in centuries-old Ayurvedic practices, traditional Thai massage combines acupressure, assisted stretching, and rhythmic compression to release tension, boost circulation, and rebalance energy flow. Your skilled therapist will tailor the session to your needs, whether you prefer a gentle relaxation treatment or a deep-tissue approach to soothe sore muscles after sailing and snorkeling. This wellness break is a must-do activity in Thailand, ideal for anyone seeking mind-body rejuvenation, serenity, and a deeper connection to Thai cultural traditions. It’s more than a massage — it’s a healing ritual that complements the rhythm of your catamaran cruise through the Andaman Sea.

Sail into cinematic paradise with a visit to Maya Bay, the world-famous cove on Ko Phi Phi Le featured in The Beach starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Sheltered by towering limestone cliffs on three sides and fringed by powder-white sand, this bay is among the most Instagrammable places in Thailand. After a swim in its turquoise waters, cruise along the cliffs of Ko Phi Phi Le, where you’ll witness the mysterious sea caves and bird’s nest harvesting zones, still active today. These delicate swallow nests are collected from the limestone grottos and exported for use in high-end Asian cuisine, continuing a centuries-old tradition. This activity is a perfect blend of natural wonder, adventure, and local culture. It offers excellent opportunities for snorkeling, photography, and learning about Thailand’s maritime economy, all set against one of the most stunning backdrops in the Andaman Sea.

Travel organizer tips

What to pack for a sailing holiday?
Pack smart for your yacht charter: choose a soft bag instead of a hard suitcase, bring lightweight layers, reef-safe sunscreen, and non-slip shoes for onboard use. A couple of swimsuits and motion sickness remedies can also make a big difference. Each boat has limited storage, so pack light—but wisely! Need help building the perfect list? Read our full guide: What to pack in a suitcase for a yacht charter
What’s a Typical Day Like on a Yacht Charter?
Start your day with a swim in a quiet bay, sail to hidden beaches or seaside villages, and enjoy a slow lunch on deck. Afternoons mean snorkeling, sunbathing, or exploring ashore. As the sun sets, your boat anchors in a scenic cove or near a harbor—ready for a relaxed dinner and a night under the stars. Curious about the full experience? Discover more in our guide: What’s a typical day like on a sailing holiday?
Who Handles Cooking and Cleaning on a Yacht Charter?
On skipper-only charters, guests usually share cooking and cleaning duties—think salads, pasta, and good teamwork. If there's a hostess, light meals and tidying are included, but it's still a casual, collaborative vibe. On fully crewed yachts, you’ll enjoy full service with a chef and crew managing everything. Want to know what’s included in your setup? Read the full guide: Who takes care of cooking and cleaning on a sailing charter?
What Happens in Case of Bad Weather During a Sailing Holiday?
Summer sailing holidays rarely face major weather issues—but when the sea gets rough, skippers adjust the route for your safety. Expect protected bays, marina stops, or a change in plan. These moments often lead to unexpected gems: local towns to explore, time to relax on board, or cozy dinners ashore. Curious about how crews handle these changes? Read the full FAQ: What to do in case of adverse weather conditions or changes to the itinerary

Awesome! We spent a week in a lagoon 620 in Phuket. We had a brilliant time - the best holidays so far. We were so looked after by the crew. Food was delicious. So looking forward doing this again.

Mac M. 2024-03-22

Thailand Fantastic Lovely trip. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Staff worked very hard but always with a smile on their faces. Visited many beautiful locations and the captain always chose the best places to stop for a swim or for the evening. He always kept the guests well informed and asked what they preferred to do. The boat had everything you needed and the catering on board was 1st class.

Jason H 2024-03-01

A highlight of our lives. Boat was fantastic. Crew was outstanding. Yaya, Lila, and Ampon really made the experience wonderful. They worked tirelessly to make us happy and comfortable from the moment we boarded. They gave great recommendations and this trip will be a highlight of our lives!

Jasmine L. 2023-04-16

This sailing trip around Phuket and the surrounding islands exceeded all expectations. The crew welcomed us warmly and explained everything clearly. I loved how the boat felt spacious yet intimate — there was always a quiet spot to relax. Each day started with breakfast overlooking a new island, and the vibe was always tranquil and inspiring. The excursions were the perfect touch. Visiting the famous James Bond Island was surreal, and the floating village gave us real insight into Thai life. We also had the chance to snorkel in shallow coral reefs filled with colorful fish. The highlight for me was our stop at Ko Phi Phi Don — the walk to the viewpoint was worth every step, with views that took my breath away. It felt like we discovered Thailand’s hidden side, far from the crowds. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already planning my return. A sailing experience not to miss.
