Island Spirit Yacht Charter offers sailing enthusiasts a taste of adventure far removed from the world’s crowded mainstream yacht charter destinations. Stretching from the Gulf of Thailand to the Andaman Sea and out across the Indian Ocean, we’re the only company with access to off-the-beaten path cruising grounds that offer windows into island life where you’ll find no crowds, no hustle and no worries.
Along with it’s famous cuisine and Siamese charm, sailing in Thailand is safe and easy, with unbeatably low onshore costs, crystal clear waters, white sand beaches and year round balmy, tropical weather. Explore the limestone atolls of Phuket, Phang Nga Bay and Krabi, where verdant pinnacles soar high above the sea, attracting sea birds that flitter across the horizon.
Discover Koh Chang, Thailand’s best kept secret, where you can swim with elephants and sleep under the stars at pristine anchorages off small islands that you’ll have all to yourself. Koh Samui is the gateway to Ang Thong Marine Park, with lagoons, viewpoints and underwater worlds that are second to none. World class diving in Koh Tao and the idyllic beaches of Koh Phangan are just a short sail away.
Across the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles is a pristine archipelago filled with natural wonders just waiting to be explored. Secluded beaches, abundant nature and “couleur locale” invite you to start living the island way. With short sailing distances between islands, a year round tropical and sunny climate and Creole hospitality, this once exclusive destination is now yours to discover.
