I really enjoyed the trip as a new mode of transport and accommodation, offering the freedom of sailing, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and sail-boarding in a beautiful environment. The meals and all staff were excellent, and the group was lively and good fun.
Phuket Sailing AdventureEverything went as planned. My guide Fon was very knowledgeable & accommodating.
Sailing Thailand - Phuket to PhuketFantastic trip. Don’t hesitate to book. We did the 4 days one because I was nervous about being stuck on a boat for four days but they planned great stops and activities and I never once felt bored or like I want to get off the boat. The trip went around the most magnificent scenery and the food was amazing. Would do it again in a heart beat.

What our customers ask about Sailing Tours & Trips in Asia
What are the key destinations covered on Asian sailing routes?
Asian sailing routes span some of the region's most notable waterways. Thailand's Andaman Sea routes navigate through Phuket and Phang Nga Bay with visits to James Bond Island and Ko Phi Phi. In Vietnam sailors explore the limestone formations of Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay stopping at Viet Hai Village and Sung Sot Cave. Indonesia's waters around Komodo National Park take travelers to Padar Island and Pink Beach. A TourRadar traveler noted about Halong Bay: "The scenery of Halong Bay is beautiful - we especially enjoyed kayaking on day 1 around the Bright and Dark caves. The landscape was absolutely breathtaking."
What is the best time of year to go sailing in Thailand and the Maldives?
For Thailand the prime sailing months fall between November and April. During this period the waters around Phuket and Phi Phi islands see minimal rainfall and calm seas. The Maldives offers its best sailing from December through March when clear waters and excellent visibility create ideal conditions for snorkeling especially near South Malé Atoll. A TourRadar traveler shared about their Thailand trip: "We had perfect weather scenery was stunning and felt very lucky to experience this all from a sail boat rather than the crowded day tripper boats!"
What type of accommodation can I expect on an Asian sailing trip?
Asian sailing vessels provide modern amenities and comfortable sleeping quarters. The Rita Cruise in Halong Bay features deluxe cabins complete with private balconies air conditioning and ensuite bathrooms. The Essence Grand Cruise offers 55 sea-view rooms while smaller Thai catamarans typically house 2 deluxe double cabins and 7 standard twin/double cabins with climate control. One TourRadar traveler reported: "The cabin was very comfortable with a stunning view from our porthole and the boat was clean and well-maintained."
What's the typical group size on Asian sailing tours?
Asian sailing tours keep numbers modest to enhance the travel experience. Thai luxury catamarans usually host 8-12 guests while larger vessels like the Athena Cruise in Halong Bay accommodate 20-30 passengers. These smaller groups allow boats to access hidden bays and quiet coves. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Having only 8 people on our Thai sailing trip made it feel like a private yacht experience. We could easily customize our stops and activities based on group preferences."
What kind of meals are served on Asian sailing trips?
Onboard dining showcases local flavors prepared by dedicated chefs. Thai vessels serve fresh seafood and regional specialties while Maldivian boats offer both local and international dishes. In Halong Bay the Paradise Luxury presents refined Vietnamese cuisine. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The food was amazing - some of the best Thai food I've ever eaten fresh ingredients and variety at every meal."
How much does an Asian sailing tour typically cost?
Daily rates for Asian sailing tours range from USD 150-300 depending on the route comfort level and duration. A basic 2-day Halong Bay experience starts at USD 270 while week-long Maldives adventures can reach USD 2350. Premium options like Paradise Sails Cruises command higher prices. One TourRadar traveler reflected: "At USD 286 per day it felt like good value given the quality of the boat all included activities meals and amazing locations we visited."
