Yacht Destination

Racha Islands

Two beautiful sister islands south of Phuket, known for clear water, bright white sand and excellent snorkeling and diving.

Crystal-clear waters just south of Phuket

The Racha Islands, Racha Yai and Racha Noi, are a favourite for guests who love time in the water. Racha Yai offers gentle bays and sandy bottoms – perfect for snorkeling, paddleboarding and swimming straight from the yacht.

Further south, Racha Noi feels more remote and wild, with deeper water and dramatic underwater topography that attracts experienced divers and bigger marine life.
