Find Available Yachts

PHUKET
Phuket, Phang Nga Bay & Krabi — The Andaman's signature landscape: ancient limestone karsts rising vertically from the sea, draped in jungle and circled by sea eagles. Our crew know the quiet corners of this bay that day-trip crowds never reach.

Koh Chang
Koh Chang — Thailand's best-kept sailing secret, and one our guests return to repeatedly. Swim alongside elephants, anchor off uninhabited islands, and wake up to a horizon you'll share with no one. This is the Thailand that existed before tourism found it.

Phuket
Koh Samui & Ang Thong Marine Park, Koh Tao & Koh Phangan — Hidden lagoons, soaring viewpoints, and a kaleidoscopic underwater world that leaves our guests speechless. World-class dive sites and idyllic beaches within easy reach, and our crew knows exactly which ones to seek out and which to skip.
Thailand: Easy Sailing, Extraordinary Rewards
Thailand’s cruising grounds span two distinct seas — the Gulf of Thailand to the east and the Andaman Sea to the west — offering a rare breadth of sailing experiences within a single destination. Waters are calm and well-charted, tropical weather is consistent year-round, and onshore costs remain among the lowest of any premium sailing destination on earth. For first-time charter guests and seasoned bluewater sailors alike, Thailand rewards curiosity in equal measure.

Private, Exclusive and Still Largely Undiscovered
WHY OUR EXCLUSIVE CRUISING GROUNDS ARE SO POPULAR
Lively or Laid Back — You Choose
Thailand rewards every kind of sailor. Those who want empty bays and no neighbours will find them. Those who want cold beers, fresh seafood and a beach party within walking distance of the dinghy will find that too. Often on the same day.
Unbeatable Onshore Value
Food and drink ashore is remarkably affordable, so factor that in when planning your budget. Eating out every night without watching the bill is one of sailing Thailand's quiet pleasures.
Fresh, Authentic Cuisine
Thailand feeds you well wherever you drop anchor. Never far from a beach restaurant, a street food stall, or a seafood shack where the catch arrived an hour ago — you will eat better here than almost anywhere else in the world and spend far less doing it.
Safe, Easy Sailing Conditions
With islands rarely more than five to ten miles apart, passages are short and sheltered anchorages easy to find. Sail in seclusion by day and step ashore into some of Thailand's most vivid nightlife by night — Koh Phangan and Koh Samui are never far away.

What our customers say
Posted on Tripadvisor Алексей РVerified Ко Чанг место сюрпризов Ходили на катамаране до острова Ко Кут. Очень понравилась природа, обилие свежих фруктов, дешевая еда, теплое море, марихуанна, тайский массаж. Был разочарован отсутствием марин в этом районе, обилием мусора, трудностями с заправкой пресной водой, мутной морской водой в заливе. Я плохо переношу жару. В целом Island Spirit отличая компания, катамаран хороший, менеджеру Joe огромный респект за его внимание к мелочам и готовность решить любой вопрос. Надеюсь вернуться сюда.Posted on Tripadvisor Piotr LVerified Sailing in Koh Chang It’s been great experience and wonderful time. I’ve got bare charter from Island Spirit Charter, yacht was well prepared and ready on my arrival. Person on site, Joe, was very helpful through the entire time, contacted me day before to coordinate all details and give me good briefing before handing over yacht. Koh Chang with several island around is great for short escape, it is quiet and peaceful though it’s less popular destination.Posted on Tripadvisor Slawomir MVerified Sailing in Koh Chang "We rented a bareboat catamaran in Koh Chang and had an outstanding experience. Even though the boat was a bit older, it was in excellent condition and clearly well-maintained. The pilot book and local navigation tips provided by Joe were incredibly useful and accurate, making our trip much smoother. Throughout the charter, communication was perfect—responsive and helpful at every step. I wish every charter company operated with this level of professionalism. Highly recommended!"Posted on Tripadvisor Lieven LVerified A dream come true Perfectly maintained cat and equipment, friendly and professional staff, great experience, fantastic memories Do not hesitate but have confidence and just enjoy the time of your lifePosted on Tripadvisor muntean mVerified Paradise Found in the Gulf of Thailand We had a wonderful experience with this catamaran and the charter agency in Thailand. Joe, our main contact person, was excellent throughout the entire process. Communication was clear, prompt, and very professional from the beginning. The check-in was smooth, quick, and well organized. The catamaran (Island Spirit 380) was in good condition, even though it is not a new model. You can tell it has some years behind it, but it has been well maintained and everything was fully functional. If the boat had been newer, this would easily have been a 5-star experience. As for the itinerary — it’s truly a piece of paradise. Koh Kood, Koh Wai, Koh Mak, Koh Rang, and Koh Kradat are absolutely stunning, and the entire Gulf of Thailand archipelago offers crystal-clear turquoise waters, untouched beaches, and breathtaking scenery. Honestly, these islands cannot be experienced properly any other way than by sailing — and the Island Spirit 380 was perfect for that. Overall, a solid 4.7/5 ⭐ experience. I highly recommend both the agency and this sailing adventure in Thailand!Posted on Tripadvisor Roger FVerified Very good company. Hemos tenido una semana muy bien. Es una compañía muy buena a la que siempre puedes confiar. Hace años que navego con ellos y nunca fallan.Posted on Tripadvisor ZishanVerified Great trip! We had a great time one our charter. The boat was ready and we were were onboarded promptly. We had no issues the yacht worked perfectly. Also the cruising guide they give you is excellent. Thank you Joe and the Koh Chang team.Posted on Tripadvisor petalVerified Koh Chang get away with a little bit of everything island style Super helpful staff. Boats in good condition and responsive if any issues. The cruising grounds were a great balance of places to go, things to see, and getting away from everything if you need. Many anchorages we were the only boat overnight, or joined by a couple of fishing boats. Water was clean and good snorkelling. Good cruising guides provided so easy to fill a week or more.
