Although much of Asia is still a new frontier for luxury yachting, Thailand has emerged as a leading destination for high-end sailing experiences. For over a decade, Thailand’s stunning waters, islands, and culture have attracted discerning travelers, and recent developments are set to accelerate this trend.

The Thai government has taken significant steps to position Phuket as a superyacht hub, including legislative reforms that granted the country’s first foreign-flagged superyacht charter licence. These new laws aim to attract more luxury yachts and private charters to the region.

With its countless islands, world-class diving, exceptional cuisine, and pleasant winter climate, Thailand is quickly establishing itself as a must-visit yachting paradise.
