The Moorings announced today the opening of a new base in Phuket, Thailand for the 2009 sailing season. The Moorings base will offer three different ways to enjoy this exotic location from bareboat (captain yourself) sailing and power yacht charters, to their luxury crewed yacht product which is an all-inclusive vacation with your own professional captain and chef. The fleet will consist of the award-winning Moorings 4600 catamaran, and new generation powercats The Moorings 474PC and 372PC.
Cruise the Andaman Sea with The Moorings from Phuket, Thailand
This new base in Phuket is ideally located on the west coast of the Thailand peninsula and provides immediate access to some of the most beautiful cruising grounds in the world. There are over 50 islands and countless anchorages to choose from in this diverse cruising ground. You are only a short cruise to Phang Nga Bay, a marine national park where you will discover the towering limestone islands of Koh Phanak and Koh Hong with their many caves to explore. Sailing south you will discover the Phi Phi islands which offer dazzling undersea life with endless opportunities for snorkeling or diving among the numerous reefs and limestone islands. “The combination of friendly people, stunning geography, spectacular beaches and 5 star service from The Moorings is guaranteed to provide a vacation beyond compare,” commented Cheryl Powell, chief operating officer of The Moorings. “Our mission is to provide the best cruising grounds in the world to our customers, and this expansion into the Far East with our Thailand base underscores this commitment.” According to Powell, the base is easily accessible with flights connecting from Bangkok or direct flights to Phuket from Singapore and Hong Kong. The base is located only 20 minutes from the Phuket airport at the new Ao Po Grand Marina. This marina offers state-of-the-art floating docks with water and electricity available at all slips. The marina is conveniently located within 5 minutes of several resort hotels which can provide customers with a range of options for pre or post charter accommodations. The master plan for the marina village includes additional services such as restaurants, bars, retail and luxury villas to be completed over the next two years.
