Thirty-Eight40ft Sailing Catamaran Charter in Phuket

The Thirty-Eight

The Thirty-Eight is a 40ft sailing catamaran running private charters out of Phuket for groups of up to 10. Charters depart from Banana Beach on Koh Hey as either a half day or a full eight-hour day, and the rate covers the whole vessel.

She carries 1 cabin and 2 bathrooms, is run by a crew of 4, and cruises at 10 knots.

Who she suits

A maximum of 10 guests keeps her intimate — couples, families and small groups who would rather not share a deck. The twin-hull layout keeps motion gentle at anchor and under way, and opens up deck space out of proportion to her length. She is the most affordable way into a private sailing catamaran in the fleet.
