If you are going to Phuket for any number of reasons, then you’ll want to make the most of your time, it could be a holiday or, maybe you already live or work in or around Phuket. There will also be those people whom, all they need is a good excuse to get themselves there and they’re already half way there. Apologies in advance to the friends and families of those people, you might not see them for a while! You’re probably thinking, what on earth could be that special about going to Phuket, sure, you may have been before and spent a bit of time on the beaches but, what if you could hire a yacht?
Yes, you did read that correctly
Hire a yacht, are you crazy? Agreed, it sounds a bit extravagant to most people, but that’s only because the idea probably seems so far out of reach and, your average person would likely associate yachts with the super-rich and famous, however, what if daily boat rental could become a realistic prospect? When you see what you get and how the process works, most people’s mind will shift from, “are you crazy”? to, ‘how does that work then and, how do we even organise something like that?’
Easier than getting yourself there
Yacht and boat rental in Phuket is actually really simple and easy, there are a few operators that offer various styles of boats and packages, but, when it comes to boat rental, a yacht really is the way to go. If you’re going to ‘push the boat out’ then you may as well do it properly and make a proper go of it.
A quick search of the Internet for the Ao Po Grand Marina will give you a little visual inspiration, if you choose to go ahead with yacht charter then this will likely be the departure location. You could, if you wanted to, hire a boat, a yacht, a catamaran or even a superyacht, that all depends upon how far you want to ‘push the boat out’.
What you get when you ‘push the boat out’
It’s only natural that, you will want to know what you get in terms of overall experience, here’s a few ‘highlights’ to whet your appetite;
- Exclusive use of a luxury vessel with some of the best view in the world
- Go where ever you want, within reason, your trip, you decide
- Take a private trip to ‘James Bond Island’ which was the setting for ‘The Man with the Golden Gun.
- Go diving or snorkelling directly from your hired vessel
- Travel to various Island and locations that are only accessible by boat
The best thing to do would be to get yourself on the Internet and have a look at the various companies, reviews and feedback. The benefits of hiring something like a yacht are endless and it’s entirely up to you how you pay for it. If you hadn’t considered it, why not get a group of you and it would work out even more affordable and you can enjoy the experience with friends.
