Trip Informations
It doesn't get much better than a 7-day sailing adventure through Thailand’s best islands. Spend your time enjoying sublime seascapes, snorkelling through turquoise waters, relaxing on white beaches and discovering craggy limestone peaks by boat. Welcome to the beautiful Andaman Sea! This is your chance to experience the region with the wind in your hair and the sun and salt on your skin. From the iconic landscape of Koh Phi Phi to bustling Phuket – this yacht adventure gives you plenty of time to swim, snorkel, paddleboard and kayak by day and chill out on the deck watching the sunset by night. With a like-minded group by your side and a private chef cooking up fresh Thai flavours – what better way to spend a week in Thailand?
Why you’ll love this trip
Leave behind the vibrant, modern pizzazz of Phuket and set sail on the beautifully calm waters of the Andaman Sea – by yacht no less!
Slip into the beach-loving life with long walks on the finest white sands and salty swims in the inviting azure waters of Thailand’s best beaches.
There are few things more relaxing than sleeping out beneath the stars, rocked by the gentle pitch of a yacht. Choose to spend a night on the deck and see for yourself.
Feast on delicious food with no effort at all – you’ll have the added benefit of an onboard chef, whipping up Thai favourites daily.
Relax with the knowledge that the biggest decision of the day is whether to paddleboard, snorkel, swim with the tropical fish or kayak across shimmering seas.
Is this trip right for you?
As most of this trip takes place on a sailing boat, you’ll need to feel comfortable with moving about the vessel, including stairs. Your friendly crew will be able to help with the effects of sea sickness if needed.  
Time on the water also means time in the sun. Remember to pack sun protection, such as sunscreen and a hat, and drink plenty of water to keep hydrated. See ‘Essential Trip Information’ below for a full packing list.

AACCOMMODATION ON BOARD THE YACHT
This trip is accommodated on board a 58 foot, twin-hulled sailing catamaran. Our boat is equipped with 1 x twin-share, 2 x double-share and 2 x quad-share cabins each with en-suite bathrooms and fans.
The skipper will allocate the rooms on arrival to the boat and single travellers will be paired up with another passenger of the same gender, this may mean sharing a double mattress. The skipper will also be sharing the catamaran's facilities and sleeping quarters.
While some may find the living quarters quite close, those who are looking to revel in the adventure and exhilaration of an authentic sailing trip usually find any discomfort is more than made up for by the spirit of this sailing experience.

I loved this trip. I wish it had been longer. The boat, Catalaya, was so clean and comfy. The chef, Da, made us incredible food. The rest of the crew were fab, too, and our leader was great. I'd never been sailing before, so having a confident, happy crew made me feel very safe and chilled. Being on the sea and swimming in it every day was my perfect getaway. The cabins do get hot, but it's a hot country! There were fans which definitely helped, and we opened the windows. Some also chose to sleep on deck. Our leader made us aware that some itinerary things might change depending on the weather, so I was happy to just go with the flow, and we visited some amazing landscapes.

Great trip! This was totally out of my comfort zone sort of trip and I went and did it anyway. So glad I did! Spent time with a great group of people and staff were super lovely. They really wanted everyone to feel comfortable and have a good time. It's the perfect way to catch up on sleep! Especially sleeping outside at night and having a wonderful view of the stars. Main trip highlights: snorkelling , the food, the sunrises/sunsets. It made coming back to civilisation and reality much harder!

I just finished a week trip in beautiful Cataleya. What can I say, everything was just perfect. Kop Kung Ka, guys. This was far beyond any expectations. You can tell from the minute one how passionate the crew is about their jobs and that’s what we got in return, an amazing week with like minded people sailing in amazing Thailand in our happy bubble called Cataleya. Rob, Doh, Chai and Ice are the best crew ever, they paid attention to every detail to make us happy everyday and make sure we were safe and enjoyed our trip. And that’s exactly what happened. The boat is great and they are really knowledgeable about sailing and the places we visited. The scenery was just stunning. Ice, the chef, cooked for us the best Thai food I’ve ever had so far and even made gluten free bread and pancakes for me (which meant a lot to me). Thanks so much guys for sharing this beautiful place with us. Best reward of such hard work is a great holidays week like this. Thank you all 💖

Excellent and relaxing trip. Beautiful scenery, fabulous food. Great crew. Slept on deck under the stars most nights. Enjoyed the snorkelling and kayaking.

It was an amazing week on Cataleya - Rob was a great host, always making sure everybody was comfortable and safe. The crew went above and beyond to give us the best time: preparing super-delicious Thai food, having kayaks and paddle boards available (and help us get on 😉), dinghy shuttles and of course sailing and handling Cataleya, so all we had to do was relax, enjoy the view, snorkel, paddle, eat, swim, sleep - and repeat 😀 I highly recommend the trip also for (female) solo travelers since you will meet like-minded people and have a lot of fun together! Do not miss the early morning sunrise swims 😉

A complete oasis away from the buzz of Phuket staying in secluded bays and beaches overnight, sleeping under the stars, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding and snorkelling as much as you like all whilst having an INCREDIBLE Thai chef on board - this is truly a once in a lifetime experience and the crew honestly made it amazing.
