Chase Summer! It’s Time to think about your family’s best Christmas memories, or that unforgettable New Year’s Eve party you will want to repeat. While cruising the South Pacific is best done during the summer months, Thailand, Southern Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Fiji, New Zealand and the Galapagos are best during the winter months. The Nicholson Yacht Charter fleet offers just the right mix. It’s always summer somewhere!
Thailand
Phuket is the centre of island tourism in Thailand, gateway to the mythical limestone casts of Phang Nga Bay and surrounding islands such as the famous Phi Phi where the Leo DiCaprio film, The Beach was filmed and the pristine Racha islands for snorkelling and diving. With the help of the experienced captain of M/Y Doa, Krill Wilkinson, based in Phuket, we have put together a sample itinerary for the area to give you an idea of what can be achieved over a seven day charter, Phuket to Phuket. Captain Krill Wilkinson of M/Y Doa has been cruising the waters of Phuket, Thailand and surrounds for many years with charter yacht Doa. This itinerary is inspired by his journeys, sampling his favorite spots and ideal cruise plan for a one week charter in the area. https://www.yachtvacations.com/yachts/doa/
