Exit Strategy

Yes — every boat on charter.boats is insured by its operator; we require it. The policy covers the vessel for fire, collision and third-party liability. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit, except where the operator's terms say otherwise. You can lower the deposit by adding the operator’s damage waiver.

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: No sailing licence is required by Thai law, but charter companies require a sailing résumé showing experience on an equivalent boat.

Pay a 30% deposit of the total amount to confirm your booking. Until we receive it, your dates are only held provisionally, and the hold expires if we don't get the payment within 5 days.

The remaining 70% of the charter fee is due no later than 30 days before your sail date. You can pay by PayPal, credit card or bank transfer.

November–April is the dry northeast-monsoon high season around Phuket; May–October is the wetter, windier southwest monsoon.
