PHUKETYacht Charter
Fleet manager

The Moorings Thailand

The largest bareboat brand in the world with a Phuket base, running a standardised catamaran and monohull fleet out of Yacht Haven on a Saturday-to-Saturday pattern.

What you would not get from their own site

  • Standardised fleet and standardised handover. You know exactly what you are getting, which is the whole point of a global bareboat brand.
  • Saturday-to-Saturday weeks, so the itinerary is built around a fixed turnaround day rather than around your flights.
  • Bareboat qualification is assessed on a sailing resume plus certification. The certificate alone is not the test; the resume is.
  • Skippered is available as an add-on rather than as a different product, which is the cheapest way into a crewed experience.

Charter licence

How this operator handles it

Global bareboat operator running a locally based fleet under Thai operation.

Not on public record means no public statement was found. It is not a claim that a licence is missing, and the two are genuinely different. The licence belongs to the individual yacht and its management company, so inside one fleet the answer changes from hull to hull. What the licence covers.

  1. Ask them these five
  2. 01What flag does the yacht fly, and is it Thai or foreign?
  3. 02If it is foreign-flagged and 24 metres or longer, what is the Superyacht Charter Licence reference and when does it expire?
  4. 03Who is the Thai fiscal representative for the charter, and are they a TYBA member agent?
  5. 04Will the charter agreement name the yacht, the owning company and the licence, or only the broker?
  6. 05Is the 7 percent Thai VAT shown separately on the invoice, and against which company's tax number?

    The workhorse of the Phuket bareboat fleet. Four cabins, eight berths, shallow draught for the limestone anchorages, and simple enough that a competent crew can run it without a skipper.

    A metre longer than the 42 and noticeably more comfortable for eight adults, with the flybridge helm that has become the standard layout in the charter fleet.

    The main alternative to the Lagoon fleet, with finer hulls that sail better and a slightly less generous saloon. The choice if the group actually intends to use the sails.

    The house catamaran of the global bareboat brands, built for charter service rather than adapted to it, with a forward cockpit that is genuinely useful at anchor in the tropics.

    The cheapest way to charter a yacht in Phuket with cabins for eight, and the one that actually sails upwind. The trade-off is heel, less deck space and a draught that keeps you out of the thinnest anchorages.

    from $4,200

How this profile was written

From public sources: the operator's own website, published rates and itineraries, and marina and association listings. Nothing on this page comes from the operator reviewing it first, and nothing on it was paid for.

Where a fact is not publicly stated, the profile says so instead of guessing. If you operate this business and something here is wrong or has changed, the methodology page explains how corrections are made.
