About Bareboat Catamaran Nautitech Open 40
The Nautitech Open 40 combines intelligent design with practical sailing credentials for independent charterers exploring Phuket and beyond. Built in 2016, this catamaran features the signature 'Open' concept: dual helm stations positioned to maximise the flowing indoor-outdoor saloon, a layout that captures cooling breezes across Thailand's warm waters. The slim hull design delivers both speed and manoeuvrability, whilst reefing lines and halyards lead cleanly back to the cockpit for effortless handling.
Accommodation spans four double cabins plus a convertible table-bed in the saloon, sleeping 8 to 10 guests comfortably. Each hull houses a full bathroom with separate walk-in shower. Below deck, the galley sits adjacent to the main living area, transforming meal preparation into a social gathering rather than a solitary task. Optional air-conditioning and a water maker are available at additional cost.
Bareboat weekly rates begin at EUR 3,430, rising to EUR 8,120 at peak periods. The inclusive package provides snorkelling equipment, tender with outboard, bed linen, towels, and local taxes. Professional crew (skipper or cook/hostess) can be engaged separately. Standard discounts apply for longer bookings, with minimum five-day charters subject to surcharge outside peak periods.

The Charter Experience
Phuket remains Southeast Asia's premier sailing hub, with the Andaman Sea offering protected anchorages, limestone karsts, and crystalline waters minutes from the charter base. The Nautitech's shallow draft and catamaran stability suit both experienced sailors seeking independent exploration and groups prioritising comfort and social space. Day trips to Phi Phi, Similan Islands, and Phang Nga Bay are accessible; longer itineraries venture toward Malaysia's Langkawi. Thailand's warm season spans November to April, delivering consistent trade winds and calm conditions ideal for leisurely cruising.
Suggested Itinerary
A week-long circuit from Phuket typically includes morning anchorages at Koh Phi Phi, reef exploration near Hin Daeng, and overnight stays within Phang Nga Bay's dramatic seascape. Leisurely sailing days alternate with deep-water anchorages suited to snorkelling and swimming, whilst nearby islands provide evening beach dining opportunities. Wind conditions permitting, experienced skippers may venture north toward the Similan Islands' granite outcrops and Japanese wreck dive sites.
