What can you see and do when you rent a boat in Bangkok?

No matter where you choose to set sail in Bangkok, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and a new perspective of the city. Here are our favourite things to do while on a yacht charter in Bangkok.

• Ride a different kind of boat: One of the best ways to experience sailing in Bangkok is by taking a traditional Thai longtail boat ride along the Chao Phraya River. These colourful boats, powered by a converted car engine, are a quintessential part of Thai culture.
• Visit Koh Samui: This stunning island on the Gulf of Thailand boasts crystal-clear waters and pristine beaches. Sail around the island and explore hidden coves, swim in the turquoise waters and even snorkel or scuba dive to see the colourful marine life. Other popular sailing destinations in the Gulf of Thailand include Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, and the nearby Pattaya.
• Go to the beach: Bangkok has a plethora of beautiful beaches to explore. Located about three hours southeast of Bangkok, Koh Samet is a small island with beautiful beaches and crystal-clear water, perfect for snorkelling. The island is known for its laid-back vibe and is a great place to relax and unwind. Practise watersports at Pattaya Beach, a popular destination for locals and tourists. Here you can go windsurfing, kitesurfing and stand-up paddleboarding. Other popular beaches include Hua Hin, Cha-am and Jomtien Beach.

What is the best time to charter a yacht in Bangkok?

The best time of year to embark on a yacht charter in Bangkok depends on what you're looking for and the type of sailing experience you want to have. The climate in Bangkok and the Gulf of Thailand is tropical, with two main seasons: the dry season and the rainy season.

The dry season runs from November to April and is the best time for sailing in Bangkok. During this time, the weather is generally sunny and dry, with cool sea breezes and calm waters. This makes for ideal sailing conditions, with clear skies and warm temperatures that are perfect for exploring the waterways around the city. Keep in mind that this is also the high tourist season so if you want to avoid crowds and get better deals on Bangkok boat rentals, we’d recommend visiting during the rainy season.

The rainy season, which runs from May to October, can bring heavy rain and strong winds to the Gulf of Thailand, which can make sailing more challenging. However, some sailors actually prefer this season as the winds are stronger and the waves are higher, providing a more exhilarating sailing experience. It's important to note that the rainy season also brings the risk of tropical storms and typhoons, so it's important to check weather reports and plan accordingly.

Yacht charter in Bangkok with a skipper!

At Click&Boat we have a range of yacht charters in Bangkok, including bareboats and skippered vessels. Even if you have a sailing licence we’d always recommend opting for having a skipper present on board, as they enhance your sailing experience. These nautical experts will dock, anchor and sail the vessel for you or act as an extra set of hands in case of emergency to make sure your journey is as smooth as possible. But skippers aren’t only professional sailors, they are also locals. That means that they can act as your private guide around Bangkok and take you to see all of the most sought-after sights as well as hidden gems you might not have known about otherwise.

For a personalised and safe sailing holiday, opt for a skippered yacht charter in Bangkok, and sail worry-free!

What type of vessel is best for a Bangkok yacht charter?

The type of vessel that you choose for your Bangkok yacht charter will depend on the amount of time you plan to spend on the water. If you’re only planning a quick getaway then a daily charter such as a motorboat should be suitable. These boats are faster than other vessels, helping you see everything on your sailing itinerary in a short time. For a longer holiday, you’ll need a more comfortable vessel such as a catamaran or a yacht. These vessels are spacious and because they are fully equipped with amenities such as a kitchen, bathroom and cabins, they will accommodate all of your needs while sailing. If you prefer a traditional sailing experience there’s nothing better than a sailboat, however, we’d always recommend choosing one with a skipper since these vessels can be challenging to navigate, even for avid sailors.

No matter what you’re looking for, you’re sure to find the perfect vessel to suit all of your needs with Click&Boat. So what are you waiting for? Book your dream boat rental in Bangkok.
