Island Spirit Yacht Brokers

Purpose built charter yachts.

Island Spirit’s IS 410 purpose-build charter catamaran delivers excellent value sailing-holidays and better returns to the charter yacht Owner.

Production yachts today offer their loving Owners designer-interiors, cabin lighting mood settings and a whole host of bells and whistles; however, the typical charter end-user is more interested in functionality, reliability and affordability. Moreover, the increasing complexity of the underlying systems and the delicate plush designer interiors in today’s production yachts pose an almost impossible maintenance expectation on the charter operator.

Island Spirits design philosophy is to provide charter clients functional comfort, beyond the reach of mainstream production yachts. Based upon our experience from our twenty years of operating charter yachts, we know what charter clients appreciate. We incorporate abundant onboard power, super-reliable bathrooms with huge tank capacity, equally sized cabins, spacious galleys with loads of storage and living space designed to accommodate the heavy load of a full crew, comfortably and safely.

We also know that reliability is critical to both the charter client and the charter operator. We employ durable materials & appropriate technology that deliver reliable performance and everything one needs for safe coastal cruising, with serviceability through elegant simplicity.

Is Phuket a good place to visit with kids?

When people think about  what Phuket is famous for , they usually conjure up images of Patong Beach and Bangla Road which is known for its wild nightlife and seedy tourism.

However, this is only a small part of Phuket, and the rest of the island is a fantastic destination for families with kids. With its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and adventurous attractions, there is something for the whole family to enjoy. 

The island of Phuket has many family-friendly accommodations ranging from luxurious beach resorts to budget-friendly hotels, that cater to the needs of families. 

It also has plenty of activities that are perfect for kids, including visiting elephant sanctuaries, splashing around in water parks, and zipping through the jungles on an ATV tour. 

Families can enjoy quality time together while exploring the natural beauty and cultural richness of this amazing destination. 

With its warm weather, friendly people, and welcoming atmosphere, Phuket is a great place to create unforgettable memories with your children.

Things to Do in Phuket With Kids

There are plenty of family-friendly attractions in Phuket to choose from. Here are some of the best things to do in Phuket with kids.

1. Visit Phuket Elephant Sanctuary

Visiting an elephant sanctuary is one of the top things to do in Phuket but you should choose the sanctuary with care. Not all sanctuaries offer ethical experiences, by allowing visitors to ride, feed, bathe, and play with elephants.

The  Phuket Elephant Sanctuary  allows visitors to observe but not interact with the elephants, allowing them the freedom to go about their day undisturbed.

As you observe these gentle giants, you will learn about where the elephants were rescued and learn about the conservation efforts.

Don’t miss a chance to walk along Thailand’s longest canopy walkway, walk the nature trails through the park, and watch the environmental documentary in the Tree Top Lounge.

2. Take a Boat Tour of Phang Nga Bay

The whole family will enjoy a boat tour of this stunning bay, known for its towering limestone cliffs and turquoise waters. This tour also includes a visit to James Bond Island, which was featured in the movie “The Man with the Golden Gun,” as well as Panyee Island, which is where you will find the famous floating village which was built on stilts.

Perhaps the best part of this tour is when you visit a lagoon where you can enjoy canoeing around the limestone formations, looking out for monkeys and sea birds, and exploring sea caves.

3. Visit Phuket Old Town

Take a walk through the historic streets of the charming Old Town, known for its Sino-Portuguese architecture and colorful markets.

Cool down with a refreshing Thai Milk Tea in one of the boutique cafes, or visit one of the markets and shop for souvenirs. 

Don’t miss the Naka Weekend Market if you’re visiting on a weekend, which runs from 4 pm – 10 pm. The night markets are a great place to try traditional Thai street food.

This is a great first-day activity if you are feeling jet-lagged or tired from traveling.

4. Hit the Beaches

Phuket has some of the most beautiful beaches in Thailand. You will find a more relaxing atmosphere at beaches like Kata Beach and Karon Beach where you can swim in the sea and spend quality time on the beach.

If you have kids who need more entertainment, head to Patong Beach or Kamala Beach where you can rent kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, go parasailing, jet skiing, and more. 

Most of the towns in Phuket have convenience stores where you can buy buckets and shovels, footballs, and volleyballs, so take your kids to enjoy the sun, sand, and sea.

5. Watch a Cultural Show at Siam Niramit

If you’re looking for things to do in Phuket with kids at night, then check out Siam Niramit.

Famous for its cultural show, visitors get to watch live entertainment themed around Thailand’s history, traditions, culture, and mythology through dance and music. The show also features spectacular special effects, elaborate costumes, and music.

Visiting Siam Niramit is a unique way to experience Thai culture and enjoy a fun-filled evening out with your family whilst enjoying a buffet dinner.

6. Splash Around in Splash Jungle Water Park

Splash Jungle Waterpark  is a must-visit attraction in Phuket. It is perfect for families looking for a fun and exciting day out. 

Located in Mai Khao Beach, the water park features a range of water slides, pools, and attractions suitable for all ages. There are thrilling rides like the Whizzard, a waterslide with a 360-degree loop, and Boomerango, which has a 15-meter vertical wall.

Younger kids will enjoy the relaxing Lazy River, Wave Pool, or Splash Park, or the whole family can go on the raft ride. There is something for everyone. 

The water park also offers dining options, lockers, and shower facilities, making it easy to spend the whole day there.

Another water park that’s worth checking out if you have more time and enjoy Splash Jungle Waterpark is Andamanda Park .

7. Visit Aquaria, The Phuket Aquarium

Located in Cape Panwa, this aquarium is home to a variety of marine life, including sea turtles, sharks, and colorful fish.

Aquaria is a magical underwater experience, where you can get up close to 25,000 marine animals and learn about Thailand’s marine ecosystem from the knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Don’t miss a chance to visit the aquarium’s Trick of the Eyes exhibit , an AR exhibit that allows you to awaken all of your five senses.

8. Go ziplining

Ziplining in Phuket is an exhilarating activity that is perfect for families with older kids. The island offers a range of zipline parks, including  Flying Hanuman  and Jungle Xtrem Adventures , which offer a unique way to experience the beauty of Phuket’s natural surroundings. 

Ziplining is an  adventurous outdoor activity in Thailand  that not only allows you to feel the thrill of the experience but also to be in touch with Phuket’s nature.

The parks offer a variety of zipline courses suitable for different ages and skill levels, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. 

9. Take an ATV tour 

An ATV tour in Phuket is an exciting experience that the whole family can enjoy. Driving around on an ATV allows you to experience the island’s nature in a unique way, and get off the beaten path.

Not only is riding an ATV a thrilling way to get your children excited about outdoor adventures, but it’s also a great way to enjoy the stunning scenery of Phuket. You can choose between riding around jungle trails, along beachside paths, or around the mountainside. 

An ATV tour in Phuket is a fun way to create unforgettable memories with your family that you’ll cherish for years to come.

10. Take a Day Trip to the Phi Phi Islands

Where to Stay in Phuket

When visiting Phuket with kids, it’s important to choose accommodation that is safe, and comfortable and offers the amenities and services that families need. Fortunately, Phuket has a wide variety of options available to suit different budgets and preferences. 

Some of the best areas to stay in Phuket with kids are Kata Beach, Kamala Beach, and Karon Beach. Patong Beach is where you will find parties and nightlife, so it’s not recommended to stay here with young kids, however, it’s a great place to visit in the daytime as the beach has lots of watersports on offer.

Getting Around Phuket With Kids

When traveling with kids, it’s important to plan how you will get around. While taxis and tuk-tuks are available, they may not be the most convenient option (or cheapest option), especially if you have young children. 

Ways to Travel Around Phuket with Kids

• Rent a Car : Renting a car is a great option if you want to explore Phuket at your own pace. Most car rental companies offer child seats for an additional fee.
• Hire a Driver : Hiring a driver can be a good option if you don’t want to drive yourself. Drivers are often available for hire by the hour or day.  Click here to book a driver .
• Use Public Transport : If you’re on a tight budget, public transport such as a tuk-tuk and songthaews (local buses) are a good option. Keep in mind that public transport is very slow as it stops at multiple places, and there isn’t really a set timetable. It’s important to plan ahead if you plan on taking public transport with children and allow extra time.
• Use Grab : Grab is the most famous  riding-sharing app in Phuket . It allows you to book a driver and take you from A to B quickly and efficiently. They can be more expensive than public transport, but they are much faster.

Tips for Visiting Phuket with Kids

When traveling in Phuket with kids, it’s important to take extra precautions and plan ahead to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip. 

Here are some tips to keep in mind when visiting Phuket with kids:

• Arrive before your kid’s bedtime – Depending on where you are flying from, your kids may be cranky and tired when they arrive. You should try to arrive just before their bedtime so they can go straight to sleep. Try not to arrive in the dead of night as it’s not always easy to find taxis at the airport.
• Stay hydrated – The weather in Phuket can be hot and humid, so it’s important to keep your family hydrated by drinking plenty of water and other fluids.
• Dress appropriately – When visiting temples or other cultural sites, remember to dress respectfully. This means covering your shoulders and knees and avoiding revealing clothing.
• Look out for your kids – Phuket can be quite busy, so it’s important to keep an eye on your children at all times, especially around the pool or on the beach.
• Try the local food – Thai cuisine is delicious and there are many kid-friendly dishes to choose from. Don’t be afraid to try something new.
