Cape Panwa, on Phuket's beautiful south-east coast, provides direct access to sheltered islands, scenic cruising routes and excellent sailing conditions.
Mai Khao, close to Phuket International Airport, offers a relaxed training environment with convenient access for visitors staying in the island's north or arriving for shorter courses.
Both locations are fully supported by experienced instructors, modern training yachts and the internationally recognised ISSA sailing programme.
