Keeping a yacht in Thailand
 Phuket
is undoubtedly one of the best sailing destinations in the world
equal in beauty to the Mediterranean or Carribean. Yachts are warmly
welcomed here, while zero import tax on boats ensures that Phuket
is fast becoming a yachting hub in the region. Anyone may keep a
private pleasure boat here, and many who are resident in other parts
of Asia – and even further a-fi eld – have recognised
the advantages of having their own escape route moored a few minutes
from an international airport, within easy distance of spectacular
cruising waters. Imagine fl ying in and out as often time allows,
to enjoy the marine wonderland of Thai waters.
For those who want to bring their own yacht for an extended visit
into Thai waters without importing it, a stay of up to one year
is possible. Those wishing to leave their boat in Thailand, while
returning home for a period of time, can do so.
And if you are looking to buy a new boat, the local option is brimming
with new ideas and new designs – both local and international
– together with an innate commitment to the highest quality.
For detailed information on yacht ownership or on leaving your
yacht in Thailand, you should contact an established agent or yacht
broker.
In addition the maintenance and running costs of boats are a more
affordable option. For instance fuel in Thailand is 75% cheaper
than in Europe and 60% cheaper than in Hong Kong. Maintaining a
crew is 80% cheaper than Europe and 50% cheaper than in Hong Kong.
