Meet the Instructors that are Passing on Knowledge with Passion at Gulf Charters - Sailing School in Thailand, Ocean Marina, Pattaya.
Humble beginnings
Well it all kind of started with four Bangkok based friends wanting to charter yacht from Ocean Marina, which is just south of Bangkok and was, at the time, the biggest and flashiest Marina in Thailand; we just could not believe that there was not a single sailing boat available for charter! That was about 1998!
So we set-out to buy a boat with a very limited budget, but we found what turned out to be just the thing and aptly named; Double Trouble! She was an Australian designed 31ft Catamaran built locally in Thailand. She was located in Koh Samui, so our first big voyage was crossing the Gulf of Thailand to Ocean Marina, some 240 nm’s. We spent three years week-end cruising, visiting just about every island and beach in the Gulf of Thailand. Every trip worked to confirm our belief that the Gulf of Thailand had plenty to offer the Global Yacht Charter Market.
