Sailing Charters in Phuket
Amadeus
AMADEUS
is a 12,70m/42ft aluminium fast cruising catamaran, custom built
for Wolfgang in Brisbane, Australia. The stability of a cat is surely
a plus for those not blessed with sealegs, her shallow draught opens
great exploring possibilities. Deck space is huge, so you have plenty
of room for sunbathing or you can just lie in the netting and watch
the water rush by.
The large, deep cockpit and lifelines with netting
all around the boat make her very safe to take small children on.
The cockpit as well as the deck are well shaded by canopies giving
protection from the sun and the odd tropical shower.
Inside there are 2 queen size double cabins, as
well as 2 singles to accommodate the maximum of 6 guests. In case
of private-or full boat charter, up to 8 guests can be catered for.
Cabins are light and airy, they have opening hatches and fans. Additionally
all portholes, hatches, and doors have mosquito screens. If you
wish, you can of course also sleep on deck under the stars!
The
cosy saloon has ample seating and there is a hi-fi stereo system
with a large music library. Wolfgang believes, that his trips are
more interesting than watching TV, so there isnt any.
The navigation station has all the necessary modern
electronics, for communication there are VHF and SSB radios.
AMADEUS is sloop rigged, with an easy to handle
mainsail and roller genoa. A large cruising chute is used for down
wind light conditions, the mainsail boom is high above the cockpit
and therefore safely out of the way. The yacht can easily be sailed
by one skilled person, but you are welcome to lend a hand! Wolfgang
will be happy to teach you the basics of sailing and navigation.
AMADEUS is fully equipped as a diving vessel so
she carries tanks, compressor, weights & belts, emergency oxygen
and has 24 hr/day charging facilities for strobes and torches. Five
full sets of diving gear are carried in case you do not have your
own. Specially designed tank racks near the cockpit make kitting
up and -off a minimum of fuss. Between dives the BCs can remain
on the tanks which are quickly filled by the powerful compressor.
This compressor is situated way forward and the noise is minimal.
The aft deck has a dive platform and two ladders.
The RIB tender facilitates drift dives (plenty of those in Burma
!) and obviously is used a lot for shore explorations. Dive tuition,
along PADI guidelines, is possible but normally on full-boat charters
only, please inquire.
All diving is under the guidance of a qualified
divemaster. Diving is non limit, the number of dives per day depends
on the guests preferences, but averages 2-3 plus a night dive.

Lizard of Oz
Lizard
of Oz is a truly amazing yacht, easy to sail and very quick to say
the least. On a blustery passage from Phuket to Langkawi we reached
a mean average of 16,5kts going to windward! Still, her stability
and lack of heel kept the going comfortable, even for those whose
stomachs were not made of reinforced concrete!
This yachts minimal draught opens the possibility
to go exploring in creeks and shallows where most other boats would
get stuck long before.
Lizard of Oz offers spacious accommodation for
up to eight guests in four spacious, private cabins. Each cabin
has its own toilet, the yacht has two showers below and a
deck shower as well. All cabins are light and airy and have opening
hatches and portholes.
Lizards navigation station features all modern
navigation equipment and for communication there are VHF and SSB
radios.
The
cockpit is spacious and shaded. Netting on the lifelines around
the boat make her a safe vessel to take small children on. The uncluttered
deck offers acres of space and one can also laze in the netting
between the bows.
Lizard is sloop rigged. Her mainsail has a sail
stack system which makes it very easy to handle. The genoa is roller
reefed and a large cruising chute provides power in downwind light
conditions. The mainsail boom is above the cockpit roof so it is
impossible to be hit by it at any time, a great safety bonus.
LIZARD OF OZ also offers the possibility of scuba
diving.Tanks, compressor and weights are carried, other equipment
is available on request . Torches and strobes can be charged 24
hr./day. Between dives the tanks are secured in the specially designed
tank racks on the aft deck and the BCs can remain on the cylinders.
The compressor is situated forward, it is electrically
driven and therefore very quiet. For entry and exit there are two
specially designed swimladders, the RIB tender facilitates drift
dives and is used for trips to the shore. All diving takes place
under the guidance of a qualified Dive Master. Tuition is available,
courses are taught according to PADI standards.

S/Y Scame
Scame
is a classic wooden cutter built in 1971 at the renowned Sangermani
boat yard in Italy.
Since 1980, she has been sailing around the world without homeport,
making more than three circumnavigations of the globe. Gracing
countless exotic destinations, from the Mediterranean, Greece and
the Galapagos to Madagascar, Tahiti and New Caledonia, this timeless
72-foot boat is currently sailing in Southeast Asia. She
is fast and comfortable, her crew friendly and warm.
Scame holds the distinction of being one of the few sailing
boats that has been continuously operated. She is home to
sailor Daniel Ballian, his wife Janine, and their 13-year old son,
Teiki, who have spent their lives sailing the world aboard Scame.
Scame is a family-run boat. Originally from France, Daniel
Ballian and his wife Janine, are master sailors and the owners of
Scame. They have been touring the world continuously for nearly
thirty years!
Their 13-year-old son, Teiki, has lived with them on the boat for
his entire life, gaining a rich education that is truly global in
perspective. Together they continue their lifelong journey in pursuit
of the best that the spirit of sailing has to offer. They welcome
others to join them in pursuing that dream.
Janine, who is from a "Pineapple Republic," is an exquisite
international cook, specializing in spicy exotic food and fresh
fish. Her meals are imaginative and delicious.
The full crew also includes Philipe. Philipe, from France, has
been with Scame for over 6 years. Like Teiki, Philipe is an avid
surfer, with experience in the Mentawais, the Andaman Islands, and
elsewhere.
The crew of Scame is fun-loving and informal, attentive and exceptionally
skilled. There is a relaxed family atmosphere.
Everyone on Scame is gracious in sharing with others their enthusiasm
for surfing, sailing, free-diving and spear fishing. All are ecologically-minded.
Whether you're looking for a never-to-be-forgotten family vacation,
an exotic getaway with friends, or a cutting-edge surfing adventure,
the crew of Scame is qualified to get you there safely and to add
to the fun

Siam Sailing
Sailing
with one of our charter yachts along the west coast of Thailand
must surely be one of the greatest ways to cruise the exotic coasts
of the Andaman Sea.
Our bare boat catamarans are based in Phuket from where you have
immediate acces to sailing in stunning scenery and you will have
a choice of literally hundreds of anchorages, most of which you
will have entirely to yourself. Take one of our sea kayaks with
you on board and you can spend hours exploring a multitude of hidden
sea caves, creeks and rivers. If you, instead of a bareboat charter,
prefer a skippered or fully crewed trip: no problem, we are happy
to oblige.
During our sailing holidays you will have, amongst many other things,
the opportunity to snorkel on stunning reefs in gin- clear water
and should you want to go a little deeper: we offer sail & dive
packages too.
Custom designed for tropical living and sailing charter in Thailand,
our fleet of bare boat yachts, all Tiki 38 catamarans, is eminently
suited for the job . The boats we offer are all owned by ourselves,
they were custom built for us right here in Phuket, and are maintained
to the highest standards, by us.
Catamarans
are just the ticket for sailing holidays in an area like ours:
acres of deck space, no heeling, next to no draught, plenty of fun
to sail and pretty quick too.
We are based in Phuket which is Thailands largest island.
Phuket is, as it is quite developed, an ideal starting place for
your charter. There is an international airport which has direct
connections with many international destinations as well as six
flights daily from Bangkok. In addition, many supermarkets and delicatessen
shops are convenient for provisioning whilst a huge number of restaurants
is at hand to give you your first taste of the unsurpassed Thai
cuisine !
