Run by real sailors.

Faraway Yachting

Run by real sailors.

Founded in Phuket. 30+ years on the water.

Our founders worked every job aboard — crew, captain, boat manager, owner. That's the experience that plans your trip.

Our story

Run by real sailors.

Faraway Yachting started in Phuket with one boat, one local captain, and a phone number that always answered.

Twenty years later we run charters across the Mediterranean, South-East Asia and the Caribbean — but the model is the same: we sail every yacht ourselves before listing it, our team in each base actually answers the phone on a Saturday night, and the price you see is the price you pay.

We're not a marketplace. We're not a discount aggregator. We're the team you want on the other end when something goes wrong at 11pm in a strange harbour.

  • Founded 2014 in Phuket
  • 30+ years combined on the water
  • Bases across the Med, Andaman, and Caribbean

Three couples, four cabins, perfect. Provisioning was sorted by the time we boarded.

Skipper option made it for us first-timers. Boat handled everything we threw at it.
