A Great Time To Come Sailing!!!

Recent charter guests have been enjoying the great weather and quite atmosphere of Phuket this low season. They have been returning from trips with a lovely tropical tan, wondering why it is in fact ‘low season’ when the sun is shining, the breeze allows for nice sailing conditions and there is plenty of beach lounges free on Phuket’s spectacular beaches and surrounding islands not to mention the discounted hotel offers and ever cheap shopping.

“Thanks you for a great sailing week. We are happy you took such great care of the equipment. Hope to see you again.”

“We could not have asked for greater conditions. We sailed everyday, the islands were beautiful and the snorkelling spectacular.”
