Thailand Charter Week prepares for inaugural edition

By Katia Damborsky   12 November 2019

A trade-only event, the 2019 Thailand Charter Week is getting ready to open its doors for day one at Phuket Yacht Haven Marina in the heart of Phuket.

Held in time to coincide with the Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat Show, the first-ever Thailand Charter Week will take place between 16 - 21 November. 

 The boat show has been designed to promote the cruising grounds of Thailand and the Andaman Sea as a premium yacht charter destination by TYBA, the Thai Yachting Business Association.

The trade-only event will welcome yacht brokers and other industry professionals looking to expand their knowledge of the region and the local fleet. 

Twenty yachts will be making an appearance at the inaugural event, with the largest on the lineup measuring 41m, or 135ft.

The format

The first three days of the boat show will give attendees the chance to step on board the yachts on display and source first-hand insight into the yachts on behalf of their clients. 

Yacht tours will take place all day, and brokers will be able to acquaint themselves with the layout, amenities and the captains and crew of each vessel. 

The second half of the show will include overnight cruises, allowing participants to familiarise themselves with the waters in this pocket of South East Asia.

The fleet

The second half of the show will include overnight cruises, allowing participants to familiarise themselves with the local waters.

The Thailand Charter Week will include a selection of 20 yachts measuring 15ft and upwards. 

The largest will be the 41m/135ft charter yacht ‘Ocean Emerald’, a motor yacht which is sure to attract plenty of attention with her dramatic exteriors from Foster & Partners. 

The 33m/107ft luxury yacht DEMAREST is the second largest in the fleet. Fresh from a refit, attendees will be able to admire her elegant interiors and a variety of soft furnishings.

As well as motor yachts, plenty of charter sailing yachts are set to appear at the show. Among them, 31m/103ft sloop sail ‘Silver Lining’ will be in attendance, alongside 29m/95ft ketch AVENTURE.

The setting

The yachting meet is designed to be a social event, with plenty of seminars and networking functions on the agenda for participants to take advantage of.

As well as getting to enjoy the yachts, attendees will also be able to soak up the setting of the Phuket Yacht Haven marina.

The trade-only event will welcome yacht brokers and other industry professionals looking to expand their knowledge of the region and the local fleet. 

This modern marina has 320 berths with the capacity to host yachts measuring over 100 metres, and is situated in close proximity to Phuket International Airport. It also allows easy access to the rest of Thailand’s cruising grounds.

The venue is further complemented by a premium restaurant with breathtaking views over the marina, where attendees will be well catered to during their time at the boat show.
