Thailand Charter Week - 16th to the 21st of November 2019
About the Thailand Charter Week
The Thai Yachting Business Association (TYBA) was proud to organise the Thailand Charter Week, a business to business event offered exclusively to bona fide charter brokers, central agents, luxury travel agents and tour operators. The TYBA was keen to give international industry professionals the opportunity to discover some of South East Asia’s finest cruising grounds on board some of the region’s best charter yachts. The program started with a 3-day "yacht hop", to inspect yachts on display in the world-class Phuket Yacht Haven marina, followed by a 3-day “familiarisation cruise” aboard one of the yachts. The 3-day charter yacht display also included panel discussions and destination seminars with local companies. Visiting charter brokers were be able to consult and learn about the destination, making this event the perfect experience to help them sell Phuket to their international clientele. During the final 3 days visiting brokers cruised on board several yachts to discover the spectacular Phuket cruising grounds and indulge in the finest sailing experiences Phuket offers. During the 6 days of the charter show, participants were also entertained with a variety of activities, parties and lifestyle events which are put together for a unique experience.
The Destination
Often referred to as the Pearl of the Andaman, Phuket is Thailand’s largest island. It’s a popular spot for visitors to Southeast Asia. With an extensive coastline featuring long stretches of sandy beach strung together by dramatic rock formations, it’s been attracting people to its shores for decades. With over 900 wet berths Phuket is rising in the eyes of those seeking bespoke travel experiences as it claims its rightful place as Asia’s favourite yachting hot spot. Well known for its many islands, Phuket’s is full of hidden beaches perfect for those looking for a tropical paradise. From motor yachts, power catamarans, classic sailing yachts and super yachts, Phuket offers a large variety of vessels available for charter during all months of the year.
Situated on the northeast coast of Asia’s premier island retreat, a mere 20 minutes to the international airport, Phuket Yacht Haven is an ideal location for travellers and sailors seeking the perfect port-of-call, as a base to enjoy Phuket. With its proximity to Phang Nga Bay and the surrounding majestic limestone islands, Phuket Yacht Haven has deep-water access with 5-meter draft capacity allowing the marina to berth yachts of 100 meters. The marina can comfortably accommodate 320 vessels at present.
