The SIA Sailing Milecatcher

The SIA Sailing Milecatcher has no fixed program or schedule and can be just a short journey on a yacht from Phuket to Krabi, a longer trip from Phuket to Langkawi, or perhaps more? A real adventure - an experience such as going to Mexico, for instance and gaining miles in the Sea of Cortez with our experienced cruising Instructor Roberto Camara. Check out the journey descriptions below and see which appeals to you? A sailing voyage allows even a complete beginner to develop the skills and get the hands on experience needed, to gain valuable sea time. You learnto become a useful and valued member of the crew on a blue water yacht. If you already have qualifications you will be able to earn mileage, sea time, to take the steps towards your next level of yachting certification. Maybe you just want to change you life and try something new? One thing is for sure, you are going to go to sea with some highly qualified sailors, to begin the journey towards becoming a better sailor.

Thailand Phuket Krabi return	3/4 Day Milecatcher	15,000THB	17,500,000THB	20,000THB

This is a 200NM passage from Phuket to Langkawi and then back to Phuket which takes approximately four or five day days to complete. The participants complete approximately 100NM and explore the coastline of Krabi and Southern Thailand, on the way to Langkawi. The SIA mile catcher is popular with participants and instructors and includes night navigation, watches, rest periods, boat checks and maintenance as well as sharing meal preparation and passage monitoring.

We normally take one of our blue water ocean going vessels, one of our Farr 1104s or perhaps our new J 35 Racer cruiser. Sometimes we take down these vessels to Langkawi, to participate in the Langkawi Regatta or the Raja Muda Regatta. Moving boats is fun and gives you great experiences especially in the Monsoon season, when it can be pretty windy. Don’t worry we don’t have tropical storms or Typhoons in this area its all manageable conditions but still challenging. You get a chance to sail in all sorts of weather under the careful watch of a very experienced mariner on yachts that are safe and well equipped.

Thailand Phuket Krabi return	4/5 Day Milecatcher	25,000THB	27,500,000THB	30,000THB

The easiest and perhaps most popular trip to obtain Mileage is our Phuket to Krabi Trip and we even do this trip in our Platus as its usually only a day sail and we usually find a berth at KBL marina or in Krabi Town. Its a perfect long weekend trip and is often done with anything up to four or five boats. Its the ideal SIA Sailing Milecatcher!

Perhaps you don’t have that much time then? Take a look at the Langkawi to Phuket trip, its 4/5 days of sailing and its less demanding and less stressful with no busy sea lanes to negotiate.

When you journey with us at SIA you get an experience or experiences that are not run of the mill. We take you to places that hardly any other sailing schools venture near and you learn some valuable lessons that you will remember for life. Its not miles that matter its what you learn on the way and how skilled you become at planning ahead and anticipating issues that may be problematic if you don’t see them coming. Safe sailing is our goal and that’s what your IYT Examiner looks at when assessing you as a Yacht Master. Let us know if we can help you get the miles, the experience and the adventure of sailing on Milecatchers.
