Thailand Cruise

5 Nights

Cruising along Thailand’s southern peninsular coast offers unparalleled views of the country’s tropical beauty. Phuket’s white sand beaches against a backdrop of lush green mountains, along with its secure anchorages make it a perfect cruise destination.

Included Activities

The Moorings Cruise: 5 Nights / 6 Days
Day 1: Koh Hong Yachting in Koh Hong waters brings you to the glorious beauty of Ao Phang-nga National Park, which was established in 1981. It’s known throughout the world for its myriad caves, soaring limestone pinnacles, and lush mangrove forests. Large and small mountains rise from the sea at Koh Hong, creating a stunning backdrop to an anchorage surrounded by towering rock formations. Day 2: Koh Rei and Koh Hong Krabi In the morning cruising Koh Roi, and its neighbour, Koh Kudu Yai. They are excellent stopover points before heading south toward Krabi and its beautiful beaches. Koh Hong Krabi yachting is memorable for its stunning beauty. The islands of the Koh Hong Krabi archipelago offer a varied array of snorkeling, pristine beaches, and opportunities to explore ashore or in the dinghy. Day 3: Rai Le Beach Rai Le Beach is famous for its spectacular beaches fronting the Andaman Sea. Many are inaccessible by road due to the towering cliffs and rock formations on the peninsula, creating a remote and secluded ambience that persists even at some of the more developed beaches. Day 4: The Phi Phi Islands Cruising in Phi Phi Don waters is a must during any Phuket yacht charter. Said to be one of the three most beautiful islands in the world, Phi Phi Don is a major tourist attraction, drawing boatloads of visitors every day during the high season from Phuket and Krabi. Yet, it still retains its idyllic charm, with the beachfront restaurants, bars, and shops at Ton Sai Bay blending in with the stunning scenery. Nearby Phi Phi Le is also magnificent, a jewel of the Andaman Sea well worth exploring. Snorkeling and scuba diving on the reefs in the area is some of the best in Thailand. Day 5: Koh Rang Yai Yachting in Koh Rang Yai waters is a delight as you cruise along the east coast of Phuket. Koh Rang Yai and the surrounding area are very popular among local boaters, in part because of its location with easy access to Phang-nga Bay, Krabi, and the Phi Phi Islands. There is a restaurant ashore, and bike rentals are available. Day 6: Phuket Arrive back to Phuket and Ao Po Marina before midday.
