Beautiful destination for sailing
Automatically translated.
Beautiful destination for June and early July, low season with few tourists and still pleasant weather, but more overcast than in winter (December-February). The Phuket Yacht Haven Marina is well served, close to the airport and easy for provisioning, and access to the east of Phuket is via a channel of about 7 miles (be careful of the tide: the current can be strong/3 to 4 knots).
The boat is in good condition and the service on site is impeccable. Sailing south is fantastic: the anchorages on the islands are extraordinary, moorings are available in the national park areas. Anchoring is also possible outside the park. Sailing is quite simple with winds between 10 and 25 knots. Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, Railay, Koh Hong… are beautiful stops.
