Faraway Yachting Named "Best Yacht Charter Company 2026" by APAC Insider
Recognized for its Phuket yacht charters, guest-first service, and memorable journeys across Thailand’s Andaman Sea.
Phuket, Thailand – May 2026 — Faraway Yachting Co. Ltd. is proud and grateful to announce that it has been named Best Yacht Charter Company 2026 by APAC Insider, as part of the South East Asia Business Awards 2026.
The recognition is meaningful because it reflects more than a yacht fleet. It reflects the people who prepare, plan, guide, welcome, cook, clean, maintain, and care for every guest journey on Thailand’s Andaman Sea.
A Recognition Built on Teamwork
Over the past four years, since Faraway Yachting was acquired by Nuttakarn and her husband Florian, the company has grown with one clear focus: improving the guest experience at every point of the journey.
Together with the team, they have continued refining fleet quality, strengthening crew training, improving guest communication, and building a warmer, more personal style of hospitality from first inquiry to final return to the pier.
“This award means a great deal to us, but it belongs to the whole team,” said Florian. “Every person at Faraway Yachting plays a part in the guest experience — on the boats, in the office, online, and behind the scenes. We are proud, but more than anything, we are thankful.”
Why This Recognition Matters
APAC Insider’s South East Asia Business Awards highlight companies, entrepreneurs, and innovators across one of the world’s most active and fast-growing regions. To be recognized within the travel and lifestyle sector is especially meaningful for Faraway Yachting, as Phuket continues to stand out as one of Asia’s most beautiful destinations for private yacht charters.
Why This Award Matters for Guest
For guests, choosing a yacht charter company can be difficult. Photos may look similar, routes may sound similar, and prices can be hard to compare. Faraway Yachting’s role is to make the process honest, clear, and reassuring.
The award recognizes the full guest journey: planning, crew professionalism, comfort on board, food, safety, local knowledge, and the personal care that turns a day on the water into a lasting memory.
Rather than simply recommending the most expensive option, the team helps each guest choose the yacht and itinerary that truly fit their group, occasion, budget, and expectations.
Guest Trust at the Heart of the Journey
Faraway Yachting’s growth has been shaped by guest feedback. With more than 950 five-star reviews across Google and Tripadvisor combined, the company has become one of the highly rated yacht charter operators in Thailand.
For the team, these reviews are a daily reminder that hospitality is built through small details: answering clearly, preparing properly, welcoming warmly, adjusting plans when needed, and making sure guests feel safe and relaxed on the water.
“Awards are wonderful, but the real reward is seeing our guests happy at the end of the day,” said Nuttakarn, Owner of Faraway Yachting. “We will continue improving because our mission stays the same: to give every guest an unforgettable journey on the Andaman Sea.”
From Phuket to the Andaman Sea
Faraway Yachting offers private day charters and overnight yacht charters from Phuket to destinations including Phang Nga Bay, Phi Phi Islands, Racha Yai, Coral Island, Maiton Island, the Similan Islands, and the Butang Archipelago.
Some guests want a peaceful family day with swimming and lunch on board. Others want a celebration with music, drinks, and sunset views. Some prefer quiet sailing, while others want a premium catamaran or super yacht experience with extra space and comfort.
For Faraway Yachting, true luxury does not need to feel distant or cold. It means feeling cared for — with a beautiful yacht, a kind crew, a well-planned route, thoughtful food, and a team that listens.
Continuing to Raise the Standard
Being named Best Yacht Charter Company 2026 is both an honor and a responsibility. The sea changes every day, and so does the responsibility of delivering excellent service.
Faraway Yachting will continue learning, improving, and welcoming guests aboard with the same spirit that brought the company here: teamwork, care, and a genuine love for sharing Thailand’s islands.
