Thailand Charter Week 2022

The 2nd Thailand Charter Week included a fulfilling program of yacht inspections, presentations, discussions, yachting activities, plus business networking opportunities. Charter yachts were displayed for the first few days at Phuket Yacht Haven Marina. There were also panel discussions and presentations about various subjects, such as Thailand destinations, marinas, cultural activities etc. The last day featured a one-day ‘familiarisation’ cruise aboard participating yachts to exciting charter destinations around Phuket and the Andaman Sea to help build and realise potential business and partnerships.

The mission was to offer the most effective platform for brands to capture and interact with the most relevant target audience. An organising committee of TYBA members ran the event with the participation of leading international charter brokers and other local charter companies.

The second Thailand Charter Week at Phuket Yacht Haven was launched on the first day with the support of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports and the Tourism Authority of Thailand. The government officials and VIPs cruised on three exhibiting superyachts: the 34m Xanadu, built by Dutch shipyard Moonen, the 39m Indiana and the 30m Mia Kai, both built by Turkey’s Bilgin Yachts. They attended the event’s official opening ceremony at the Yacht in the evening.

The Thailand Charter Week provided a wide range of charter yachts offering charters in various daily, weekly and budget ranges based in the South-East Asian region.

The last day of Thailand Charter Week included a familiarisation Day Trip to Phang-Nga Bay and the surrounding majestic limestone islands by several types of yachts- the 30m Mia Kai super yacht, the 24m August Moon sport cruiser, and the 18m Happy Ours yacht. For seeking bespoke travel experiences, Phang-Nga Bay claims its rightful place as Asia’s favourite yachting hot spot.
