Perfect sailing conditions … in Thailand

Reading Time: 2 minutes

15 knots of wind every day, amazing scenery, and kind locals are a few of the treats in store for South Africans looking for sailing adventures in an exotic destination – and it won’t break your bank either.

For an easily ticked off bucket-list experience, the crystal-clear waters of Phuket in Thailand beckon. For either a Sunsail yacht or catamaran, packages abound to suit pockets and guest numbers with the main decision being whether you will self-sail (if you have an international Skipper’s ticket) or whether you’d prefer to have one of Sunsail’s expert skippers. As a leader in luxury yacht charters and with over 50 years of experience in creating exclusive vacations, Sunsail has the know-how, and the experience to ensure your memory bank is boosted by the best experience. To paint the picture, here’s an example of a seven-night skippered self-catered charter on board the Sunsail 454 Catamaran as it journeys through the stunning waters of Phuket, Thailand from 8 November 2024 to 15 November 2024.
