Thailand is now open and welcoming back vessels from throughout the world. Phuket Island in Thailand is at the forefront in attracting international yachts & superyachts, as they return post-pandemic to the “Superyacht Hub of Asia”. Superyacht visits have been increasing exponentially over the past 15 years and last year 1,500 yachts and cruisers visited the ‘Pearl of the Andaman’.
Marinas are playing an increasingly important role globally and full-service marinas on the resort island of Phuket, Thailand can handle all the needs of a superyacht, providing berths for yachts up to 130 meters in length, a growing superyacht labour force and excellent docking facilities, and now – the opening of the new Private Jet Terminal.
Further development reports the Thai government is moving forward in setting up Thailand’s yacht and marina hub development plan in Phuket, Samui, and Pattaya, an important part of the Kingdom’s yachting leadership in the future.
