A family charter in Thailand combines some of the world’s most visually extraordinary sailing ground with an on-shore culture that is genuinely welcoming to children. From Phuket, the Phi Phi Islands, Phang Nga Bay and the Similan Islands are all reachable within the span of a single week, each offering a very different environment for families to explore. The charter yachts available for family bookings are selected for stability, cabin layouts that work for mixed-age groups, and crew experienced in adapting itineraries on short notice.
Thailand’s waters are warm year-round, visibility in the Similan Islands and Phi Phi reefs is reliably good between November and April, and the calm conditions of the Andaman high season make for comfortable passages for younger passengers. Watersports equipment on family yachts typically includes kayaks, paddleboards, snorkelling gear and often a waterslide or inflatable platform for younger children.
Charter rates for family yachts in Thailand start from around 25,000 euros per week, with the advance provisioning allowance adding approximately 30 percent for fuel, food, drinks and crew gratuity. November to April is high season, though the Gulf of Thailand coast around Ko Samui and the Ang Thong Marine Park is accessible year-round and offers particularly sheltered conditions for families with very young children.
Provisioning from Phuket is excellent and flexible. Crew are experienced at catering for children and adults simultaneously and can accommodate dietary requirements without difficulty from the local market network.
