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. If you would like to own your first boat, here is a useful article with tips for the novice
sailor.
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.
Booking for
Next Year
This type of
holiday is very popular and to ensure that you get the dates you want, booking
early is recommended, and once you have reserved the vessel and the dates, you
can relax and think about where you would like to go in the Southeast Asia
region.
