Buying a boat in Thailand.

Thailand is home to exceptional international yacht brokers and surveyors, making purchasing a boat in the Land of Smiles an attractive proposition for owners who want to spend extended periods in the country’s famous cruising grounds.

Thailand’s Yacht Dealers At A Glance

 

The majority of Thailand’s yacht brokers are found on the southern island of Phuket, however, in recent years more and more brokers are also setting up shop in Pattaya, on the Gulf of Thailand. Compared to other Southeast Asian countries, it is not uncommon for international yacht manufacturers to have extensive dealership networks, such as Azimut Yachts, Beneteau, Lagoon Catamarans, Ferretti Yachts, Princess Yachts and Sanlorenzo.

Award-Winning Marinas

Thailand has seven international standard marinas, offering safe anchorage for yachts of all sizes.

In the past 20 years, the Thai Government has made sporadic – yet effective – steps to make buying a boat within its borders a much more appealing proposition.

 

Since the abolition of the somewhat complicated luxury import tax systems back in 2004, the only additional financial burden yacht owners will now need to pay is a standard 7% VAT on top of the price of the vessel if they plan to register the vessel Thai Flag.

 

Foreign nationals can own 100% of their yacht and can also register it in Thailand in their own name. However, please be aware that owners will first need to be able to provide evidence that they have a valid address in Thailand.

Yacht Shows

Thailand has a long history of yacht shows, going back to the original Phuket International Marine Expo, held in 2003.

 

Today, the country hosts a variety of yachting events and shows, from international trade fairs to regattas, networking parties to luxury lifestyle gatherings.
