Butang Archipelago – Koh Lipe
Koh Lipe – Gateway to an unspoiled paradise, ideal to start an unforgettable sailing vacation.
The Butang Archipelago consists of 4 larger and many small islands, with Koh Lipe being the only one inhabited. Koh Lipe is the smallest island in the archipelago, and offers some nice, moderately priced places to stay. You will find a relaxed beach life atmosphere on Koh Lipe, featuring a few bars and restaurants on the beach. The snorkeling around Koh Lipe is spectacular! The pristine area around Koh Lipe is also one of the very best sailing areas in the waters of Thailand with many nearby islands and tropical beaches to explore and serves as the ferry and speedboat terminal for the Butang Islands Group.
Because the Butang Archipelago is quite far away from Phuket, where most charter boats are based, most people who charter yachts in Thailand never make it to these spectacular Islands, which is very fortunate for us and our guest, as we’ll have the places to ourselves! If you plan to make a return trip, and sail from Phuket to the Butang Archipelago we recommend that you charter the yacht for at least 10 days, to allow for a relaxed cruise stopping at the many beautiful and mostly secluded islands on the way there and back. If you like to extend your sailing vacation, and charter our yacht for 14 days, you will get a 10% Discount off the standard charter price.
