Yacht charter in Koh Samui

The Gulf of Thailand’s island circuit — Ang Thong’s 42-island marine park, Koh Tao’s reefs and Koh Phangan’s quiet east coast.

Sailing from Koh Samui

Samui anchors the Gulf circuit: Ang Thong National Marine Park’s 42 islands sit a morning’s sail west, Koh Phangan an hour north, and Koh Tao’s snorkelling reefs a comfortable day on. Distances are short, anchorages are plentiful and the sailing is forgiving — ideal first-charter water.

Koh Samui

When to sail

The Gulf runs on a different calendar to the Andaman: the prime season is February to September, with the calmest seas May to September while the Andaman side sits in its monsoon. November and early December are the Gulf’s wettest weeks.

Koh Samui

Routes worth a week

A classic five-day loop links Samui, Koh Phangan’s north-coast bays, two days through Ang Thong’s lagoons and viewpoints, and a Koh Tao reef day before the run home. With a full week you add the seldom-visited east coasts and a night at anchor off Ang Thong’s emerald lake.
