Saling School Phuket Base

Getting to Island Spirit Sailing School Base

The Island Spirit Sailing School in Phuket is delivered within the Island Spirit Training Center, located within walking distance of Yacht Haven Marina, Asia Pacific’s largest super-yacht marina.

The Island Spirit Training Center is located at the northeastern end of Phuket Island and is some 40km away from the the main tourist areas and Phuket Town; it is just 10kms away from the airport. It is for this reason that we package the Phuket Sailing School program as “Full Board,” providing residence-style, shared twin room accommodation and food and beverage.

That’s not to say we’re in the middle of nowhere, the Yacht Haven Marina offers an impressive and active restaurant and bar area with stunning views across Phang Nga bay.

From Overseas

There are two options, you can fly into one of two Bangkok International airports or you can fly directly in to Phuket International airport.

Phuket International (HKT)

There is an ever-growing list of Countries from which you can fly directly in to Phuket airport including Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong. This is without doubt to most low stress way of getting to Phuket as the Phuket Airport is small and easy to travers.

The Airport itself is located approximately 20 minutes by taxi away from the the Island Spirit Training Center.

Accommodation

Accommodation for students is provided.

Accommodation is residence-style, it is not a full service hotel.

Rooms are twin sharing. Breakfast is self-service, lunch and dinner are at set times with set menus.

If students prefer to book their own food and accommodation, then that model is available at our Pattaya Sailing School location, but not in Phuket.

Yacht Haven Marina

Phuket Yacht Haven Marina is the largest super-yacht marina in the Asia Pacific.

Its restaurant and bar area, know as the “Club House” formally “The Deck Restaurant” overlooking the exotic seascape of Phang Nga Bay, is a favourite hang-out for everyone from Cruising Yachts to Super-yacht Crew, its a great place to meet people working in the industry or sit and have a chat with Cruising Yachties taking a well earned break.
