The Sail in Asia Sea Base in Phuket is a purpose-designed outdoor education centre for international schools. We have changing rooms for male and female students and our fleet comfortably allows for 50 students with instructor to students ratios of 5:1 per boat. Our Sea Base is to be found at Ao Yon Bay, Phuket Island which is effectively a private beach. This is a great location to be able to learn to sail and explore nature.
Ao Yon bay is just around the corner from the mouth of a mangrove estuary, tropical forests and sandy or rocky intertidal ecosystems. In addition to the many local areas of interest, there are several small islands and national marine parks nearby that are delights to sail to, for day or overnight trips and we like students to camp in tents or on yachts where possible to extend their experience.

We are now developing our Krabi Outdoor Education base which is ideal for trips by canoe, dragon boats and keelboats. The camping sites are located in the beautiful new Krabi Boat Lagoon Marina and islands nearby. The KBL site has Capsule accommodation, as an alternative to Camping, should school groups prefer this option.
The area is ecologically spectacular. It is part of Krabi districts huge network of mangrove rivers and estuaries. The nearby offshore islands, easily lend themselves to day trips or overnight trips on sailing craft. This site is being promoted by the KBL marina for schools Outdoor Education Adventure trips because of the owners commitment to developing ecological awareness of this as yet unspoilt wilderness. The Adventurous Journeys available in this location can also be bespoke.
