Krabi yacht charter — Railay limestone cliffs and emerald sea
Krabi · Railay & Hong Islands

Krabi Yacht Charter

East of Phuket, the coastline of Krabi unfolds into a quieter, wilder archipelago — Railay's vertical cliffs, the Hong Islands' inner lagoons, and the protected bays of Koh Poda and Chicken Island.

A Krabi yacht charter aboard our 46-metre Astondoa offers a slower, more contemplative pace than the Phuket-side anchorages: fewer vessels, deeper jungle, and beaches reached only by private tender from a yacht at anchor.

From the limestone amphitheatre at Phra Nang Cave Beach to the perfect crescent of Tup Island at low tide, Krabi rewards guests who linger. Our charter itineraries balance active days — rock climbing at Railay, deep-water soloing off the karsts, snorkelling at Koh Yawasam — with quiet anchorages, private chef dinners and onboard spa rituals.

Thailand Group's concierge curates the small details that make a Krabi charter exceptional: a sunset table set up on a deserted sand spit, a Muay Thai master flown in for a private session, or a long-tail expedition with a local guide who knows which bays still belong to the fishermen.

Best Season

When to charter

November to April delivers the calmest seas on Krabi's coast. December and January are most popular for the cool, clear conditions. March and early April are quietly excellent — warm, glassy water and fewer charter vessels in the archipelago.

The Anchorages

Where the yacht drops anchor

Railay & Phra Nang

Anchor off the iconic limestone peninsula — tender ashore to Phra Nang Cave Beach, or arrange a private rock-climbing or deep-water soloing session.

Hong Islands (Krabi)

Distinct from Phang Nga's Koh Hong — these inner lagoons are sheltered, shallow, and ideal for paddleboarding and family swimming.

Koh Poda & Chicken Island

Two of the Andaman's most photographed islets — a sandbar emerges at low tide between them, perfect for a barefoot lunch ashore.
