| SAILING AROUND SAMUI |
| Sailing in the gulf of Siam | |
  |
 |
| The shallow warm waters around the Samui archipelago with
its 80 tropical islands make sailing a very enjoyable and safe
venture. The waves never reach more than 8 feet in height and there is always an island within a day sailing distance! |
 |
 |
 |
| There are plenty of remote bays for shelter where you can find soft sandy beaches and a big variety of underwater life with colorful coral reefs which is one of the highlights on every boat trip! |
 
 |
There is a good number of day sailors, dhingies and especially catamarans available at Samui Ocean Sports in Chaweng. |
 |
 |
| For day and overnight
cruising to the neighboring islands, there are a growing number of charter boats available. |
