If you would like the holiday of a lifetime and you’re stuck for ideas, how about cruising tropical waters on a luxury yacht? While you might be thinking that is reserved for the rich and famous, there are yacht brokers where you can charter a luxury crewed yacht for an amazing holiday. Many luxury yacht owners make their boat work when not in use, handing the yacht to the management company who market the vessel and crew for recreation, therefore you can charter such a vessel, complete with a full crew.
The Magic of the Andaman Sea
One of the last unspoilt natural jewels, the Andaman Sea is home to a diverse range of marine life, such as Whale Sharks, Dolphins, huge Manta Rays and Turtles, and if you are into scuba diving or snorkelling, this is for you. If you search online for luxury yacht charter in Thailand, you will find an established yacht broker with a base in Phuket, and they have an impressive fleet of vessels from catamarans to superyachts. Not far from Phuket are the idyllic Phi Phi Islands, with limestone cliffs rising out of the blue water, and this region is full of quiet bays and coves, and with a full range of toys onboard, you can kayak and explore the amazing beauty of Southern Thailand.
How Does it Work?
Once you make contact with the yacht charter firm, you choose your vessel and route, then the details regarding menus, drinks and other provisions you need, are all agreed upon, and once everything is set, the vessel will be ready on the agreed date and you and your party fly to Phuket. They have a wide range of luxury yachts to cater for even large groups, indeed, many university students come together and charter a superyacht.

Safety Briefing
Of course, there are rules, especially regarding safety, and prior to leaving port, your group must have a safety briefing with the captain and the crew, who are there to ensure your safety and make sure you have a great time. The crew are always looking to please and if a request is possible, they would be happy to oblige, you might want to go exploring on a kayak or ride a jet ski, and a crew member would show you how to control the device.
Tailored to your Needs
When you charter a luxury yacht, you are sampling the billionaire lifestyle and everything is 5-star luxury, with your menu and bar, and a crew that are there to make it a memorable experience. The skipper would know the region intimately and can make a few recommendations to include in your voyage. Here is a UK government update on Covid-19 if you are concerned about travelling.
