Yachting
Phuket is one of Southeast Asia's main yachting destinations, and you'll find all manner
of craft anchored along its shores - from 80-year-old wooden sloops to the latest in high-
tech motor cruisers.
Marina-style facilities with year-round anchorage are presently available at a few loca-
tions.
Port clearance is rather complicated; the marinas will take care of the paperwork (for a
fee, of course) if notified of your arrival in advance. Expect to pay from 17,000B per day
for a high-season, bareboat charter.
For information on yacht charters (both bareboat and crewed), contact Asia Marine or
Tawan Cruises.
