The Thailand Charter Week is an international charter event for yachting and tourism industry professionals.
The B2B event encourages engagement between yachts, marine industry players, sponsors, and professional visitors. International and local charter brokers, luxury travel agents, luxury tour operators and hotel industry professionals will be introduced to Phuket’s renowned charter yachts. Those attending will experience Phuket's famed hospitality and enjoy a programme of destination, activities, sustainable yachting information, and local entertainment.
The Thailand Charter Week will also present a programme of yacht inspections, presentations, discussions, yachting activities and networking opportunities. For the first few days, charter yachts are on display at Phuket Yacht Haven Marina, and panel discussions and presentations about various subjects, such as Thailand destinations, marinas, and cultural activities, will be offered. The last day features a one-day familiarisation cruise aboard participating yachts to exciting charter destinations around Phuket and the Andaman Sea, to help build and realise potential business and partnerships.
