Affordable luxury: explore Andaman off season onboard Lagoon 620

About the tour

Phuket lies off Thailand’s southwest coast in the Andaman Sea. It’s a calm sailing region with steady winds, sheltered bays and hundreds of small islands scattered around. Many are uninhabited, with pale sand and green slopes dropping straight into the sea.
In Phang Nga Bay, boats move between tall limestone towers rising out of the water - the same landscape that appeared in The Man with the Golden Gun. Maya Bay, where The Beach was filmed, stays closed part of the year to protect its coral reefs.

ℹ️ Cabin Charter
This is a shared sailing cruise. Guests book individual cabins on a crewed yacht (captain, cook, deckhand). All meals are served on board. It’s a comfortable option for travelers who prefer a small group experience without chartering a private boat.
