Full Day and Overnight Tours by Yacht
All the fun of chartering a yacht but for a lower price and without the hassle of actually being able to sail.
Steve, the owner of Mandala Sailing, has been coming to Koh Chang for 15 years. and for the past few years he has spent the high season running his yacht charter business. Although he does offer overnight charters and longer cruises the most popular option is a day trip which begins in Bangbao.
I want to bring the joy of sailing to as many people as possible. All too often, when considering going out on a yacht, the words “exclusive” , “VIP” and “luxury” are thrown around and the prices sky rocket. That shouldn’t be the case. I love to see families having a great day out. Giving the helm to a child and watching them puff up with pride is simply awesome.

A day long sailing trip is tailored to what the customer wants, but a typical day will be from Bang Bao to Long Beach, for a swim by the deserted beach at the old Treehouse resort, then around the end of Koh Chang to Koh Ngam.( Koh Chang’s Phi Phi Island ) and a very beautiful spot. You go enjoy the scenery and Steve will prepare some fruit for the sail down to Koh Wai where you can get lunch and snorkel on the reef or try your hand at SUP (Stand Up Paddling). Then it’s back to Bang Bao for 5pm.
Or if you want a tailor made trip to specific islands, just let him know.

The yacht is moored in Salakphet in the south east of the island. But for most people staying on Koh Chang, it will be more convenient to join the sailing trip in Bangbao fishing village, on the south coast of the island. You simply take one of the public taxis to Bangbao pier and Steve will reimburse you for the expense of the round trip from your hotel to the pier and back.
