The charters will take place from Dicember to February 2018 in Thailand in the Andaman Sea, the stretch of sea that goes from Phuket to Langkawi Malaysia.
The Andaman Sea in this period is under the influence of the North East Monsoon that brings northerly winds and dry climate. This is extremely positive because we will sail with the wind from the land, that will not cause the typical large ocean waves.
The routes are divided in two parts, in the first part we will going south sailing a westerly route downwind in the more offshore islands. In the second part of the cruises we will sail along the coast where the wind will be attenuated. The charters are easy and within the reach of those without much experience.
From a logistical point of view, most of the islands where we will stop are uninhabited, so then we can't expect any tourist facility.
We will depart from Phuket with supplies for a week that will be integrated with fishing (we have both the equipment for trolling and for underwater fishing). For the two weeks charters after about 7 days we will stay in Langkawi where we can stock up for the second week.
The islands are often visited by local people called "Chao Le" that in Thai means "people of the sea" . This nomadic populations, also known as sea gypsies, live on small boats and move following the rhythms of fishing .
