Phuket in December: The Season Worth Sailing For

Ask anyone who knows Phuket well and they will tell you the same thing: December is when the island shines. The rains have passed, the Andaman Sea turns glassy and blue, and the yachting season is in full swing. Here is why this is the month to be here.

Arrive by Yacht: Anchoring at Kata Rocks for the Rendezvous

There is no finer way to arrive at the Kata Rocks Superyacht Rendezvous than from the water. The headland sits above one of the most sheltered bays on Phuket’s west coast, and on Friday 18 December it becomes the island’s most sociable anchorage.

A New Decade for the Kata Rocks Superyacht Rendezvous

For ten years, the Kata Rocks Superyacht Rendezvous has drawn yacht owners, captains and friends of the sea to one headland on Phuket’s west coast. Each December, the bay below Kata Rocks filled with hulls at anchor, tenders came and went, and the terrace became a meeting point for everyone who shapes life on the Andaman Sea.
