The tri-deck 46m superyacht Panakeia — Thailand's largest and most exclusive charter yacht — transforms the Andaman coast into a private stage of hidden bays and endless horizons. Flip through the full four-page feature below, click any page to enlarge, or download the original magazine PDF.
The name Panakeia derives from 'Panacea', the ancient Greek goddess of healing and restoration — fitting for a yacht created not simply to transport, but to transform. Cruising the emerald waters of Thailand's Andaman Sea, weaving between towering limestone formations and hidden coves, time is measured only by the horizon.
Accommodation welcomes eleven guests across five elegantly configured cabins. The full-beam master suite feels closer to a penthouse apartment, with walk-in wardrobe, dedicated study and a bathtub overlooking the sea. An elevator connects all guest decks.
The onboard chef crafts menus inspired by local ingredients — fresh Andaman seafood elevated with international flavours — complemented by a cellar of over 200 wines and champagnes. Twin Seadoo jet skis, electric foils, sea scooters, paddleboards, kayaks and scuba equipment turn the ocean into a private playground, while the Castoldi jet tender unlocks hidden beaches.
Based in Phuket from December to April, guests explore Phang Nga Bay, Krabi, the Phi Phi Islands and the Similan Islands, with longer itineraries extending into Myanmar's extraordinary Mergui Archipelago.
