Getting here
Phuket International Airport
Airports of Thailand lists Phuket International Airport (HKT). Phuket Yacht Haven says the marina is 10 minutes by car or taxi from the airport. (Airports of Thailand and Phuket Yacht Haven, pages opened 8 November 2026.)
Approach to Phuket Yacht Haven
Phuket Yacht Haven is on the northeast coast of Phuket, on the channel between Phuket and Phang Nga. Sarasin Bridge lies to the west. The marina says the approach from the west is only for vessels with local knowledge, because of height and depth limits. (Phuket Yacht Haven, page opened 8 November 2026.)
