Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Leave vibrant 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 waters of Thailand’s best beaches.
Sleep out beneath the stars, rocked by the gentle pitch of your yacht. Choose to spend a night on the deck and look up at stars in the balmy weather – this is freedom.
Feast on delicious food made with local ingredients – all made by your onboard chef, who will be 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.

The trip on board the Cataleya was a great experience thanks to the whole crew, which did an excellent job! The food was also amazing. The katamaran was in a very good state, clean and well maintained. Personally, I would rather skip PhiPhi Island, which is sadly not a place to be anymore… and in general go to less busy places or just stay on the boat and have fun snorkelling.

very amazing boat trip through the islands, you will have a great time! the shared quad cabin is the best temperature wise at night. we had amazing sunsets and adventures in the andaman sea. i would book this trip again in a hearbeat. but if you are keen on sailing, then this trip might not be for you, as we mainly traveled the itinerary and not with the wind, which made for very few sailing days. but it was not important to me so i still rate this experience 10/10, intrepid delivered once more!

This is a wonderful trip to take to explore the Islands around Phuket, Thailand. The boat & crew were wonderful. It offers natural beauty & diverse marine life. I would definitely recommend it for active and inquisitive tourists who want to immerse themselves in the place.

There is no better way to see the magical and visual splendour that is the primordial Islands of Phuket than when sailing on the 'Catalaya', and if you're fortunate to be skippered by the very capable and charismatic Nolte and his crew then your enjoyment is all but guaranteed. The ship provides all the comfort required, the food is exceptional and to be lulled to sleep by its gentle sway when sleeping under a canopy of stars on deck to awaken to an amazing sun rise is an experience not to be missed. Nolte is a font of knowledge and will keep you amused with fun facts along the way. This is a must do and one you will take pride discussing with others for years to come. A big thank you to Nolte and all those involved at Intrepid for making this a truely stand out memorable experience.

How good was it? So good that I cannot stop thinking about going back to the boat again! The recipe? A breathtaking tropical paradise, a great group of people and a crew always ready to find the best places and to organize the funniest activities. The group has been amazing and made memories that will last a life time. The chef Da deserves my personal Michelin star ⭐️ Just a big thank you to everyone for making it an unforgettable experience!
