Phuket Marine industry on the up
Over the years, the Phuket Marine industry has grown to one of the biggest in not only the country but also the region. With some of the best waters in all of Asia, the Phuket Marine industry is destined to continue to grow. Direct links from Phuket to nearby islands such as Kho Phi Phi and Kho Yai make day boating easy and enjoyable.
The range of boats available also continues to grow with brands such as Sunseeker and Bayliner commonplace. First class maintenance through expat skilled workers helps to keep the Phuket Marine industry running well.
Access to nearby islands also gives boaters the opportunity to view some of Phuket Marine’s wildlife first hand. Birds such as Sea Eagles and gulls can be regularly seen while a trip below the surface offers a huge array of sea life such as sharks, manta’s and even whale sharks.
With 2 distinct seasons throughout the year (rainy and dry seasons) there are distinct advantages to boating at the right time of year. During the rainy season (May-October) the south-west monsoon hits the west coast of Phuket with rough waters and stormy skies. It is thoroughly recommended for those interested in a Phuket marine adventure to schedule their trip in the dry where crystal clear waters are the norm.
