Marinas & Yachting

Phuket’s position on the Andaman Sea, sheltered by Phang Nga Bay and a scatter of nearby islands, has made it one of the region’s established yachting hubs. For buyers with an interest in boating, that infrastructure is a real part of the island’s appeal, not just a scenic backdrop.

Marina Infrastructure on the Island

The island’s east coast is home to several established marinas. Royal Phuket Marina, near Phuket Town, combines berthing with a residential and dining precinct built up around the water. Boat Lagoon Marina, a little further north, has long served as a base for both leisure sailors and the island’s boat maintenance and charter trade. Ao Po Grand Marina, on the island’s north-eastern tip, is the usual departure point for cruises into Phang Nga Bay, known for its limestone karsts and calmer, more sheltered waters than the open west coast.

What the Yachting Lifestyle Looks Like Here

• Day trips to nearby islands and bays are easy to arrange, whether by owning a boat or chartering one.
• Phang Nga Bay’s sheltered waters make it popular for slower cruising and overnight anchorages, in contrast to the more open conditions further offshore.
• A number of villa and condo developments near the east-coast marinas are designed with boat owners in mind, offering private or nearby berthing.

For anyone whose ideal weekend involves being on the water, choosing a property near one of these marinas can make boat ownership a genuinely practical part of daily life rather than an occasional treat.
