We are thinking of Chartering for a week or so in Thailand and are looking for recommendations for a charter company. We are familiar with Moorings and Sunsail but wonder if there are other alternatives. Five people, mono or cat although we have never sailed a cat and I am told it could be a life altering experience!

Thanks

I have sailed Thailand and I did it on a Cat. I do not like catamarans. They do not point well and it is an uncomfortable ride. Lot's of room though. I also did not like Thailand. It's hot. There was almost no wind and the current is very strong. Also, when you go ashore you will constantly (and I mean constantly) be accosted be people who are trying to scam you in some way. On the plus side it is beautiful and very unique. The snorkeling is fantastic. I used Sunsail. Overall, I would not go back. I recommend Croatia as an alternative.
