Should I rent a sailboat in Phuket with or without a skipper?

With Oceans Evasion you can find sailboat rentals in Phuket with or without a skipper. Unless you have a valid sailing licence and a lot of experience, we always recommend opting for a skippered sailboat since sailboats can be difficult to navigate. Even if you have a lot of experience on the water, there are many benefits to having a skipper present. Skippers can be an extra set of hands in case of emergency or, if you lack sailing experience, they can navigate, dock and anchor the vessel for you. Skippers are also usually locals of the area and they can give you recommendations about where to go as well as show you some of the hidden gems on the island that you might not have known about otherwise.

Sail in the safe hands of a skipper and enjoy a private sailing tour of Phuket when you opt for a skippered vessel!

What should I consider before renting a sailboat in Phuket?

If you fancy a sailing adventure in Phuket, we’ve got what you need to make it a success. A sailboat is a large and spacious vessel that is typically rented by the week, though some owners might allow you to charter a sailboat in Phuket for less. For an authentic sailing experience, there is no better vessel than a sailboat because they move with the wind and the waves, and present a challenge for the most avid of sailors. However, because of this, they aren’t recommended for novice sailors or people who are pregnant or prone to seasickness.
