Thanks to marina facilities being developed and upgraded all over the world, the superyacht cruising is opening up beyond the usual hubs. The most prestigious superyacht marinas on the northeast coast of the Thailand yacht charter location – Phuket Island, Yacht Haven Marina and Ao Po Grand Marina, are a prime example and the gateway to exploring the area’s fabulous islands as well as beaches.

Yacht Haven Marina offers an ideal starting point to explore the wonders of Phang Nga Bay and the islands. Just a 15 minute drive to Phuket International Airport, Yacht Haven has become a prime superyacht destination. Nick Wyatt, well-known to captains and yacht owners world-wide as the manager of Asia’s popular superyacht marina, reports, “As a major full service marina in SE Asia, we believe Yacht Haven has an important role to play in driving this part of Thailand’s tourism sector. Presently with a restaurant, bar, gym, pool and accommodation, plans are underway to upgrade and increase our shore side services. With a further 30 new Superyacht berths planned for the next year and the aspiration to constantly improve our personal service, at all levels, we aim to keep Yacht Haven Marina a secure, choice destination.”

With a capacity of 200 berths and well placed for cruising the magnificent Phang Nga Bay, Ao Po Grand Marina can host yachts of any boat length from 6m up to 80m+ and has a special focus on facilitating Superyachts. The marina offers 24-hour access with no tide restrictions and a large part of the attraction is its proximity to major facilities. The fuel dock is ideally located with world class rubbish collection and security.  Both marinas are located on the doorstep of the best cruising grounds in the Kingdom.
