About this yacht
Welcome aboard Maha Bhetra, a 90-foot luxury traditional Thai-crafted motor yacht that epitomizes the elegance of Southeast Asian design, combined with the modern comforts you'd expect on a world-class charter. Designed by Ed Tuttle, the acclaimed architect behind Aman resorts, Maha Bhetra offers a unique charter experience that seamlessly blends ancient Thai craftsmanship with contemporary sophistication. Originally crafted to showcase the beauty of Thailand's rich heritage, Maha Bhetra boasts a timeless charm, enhanced by a spacious open-plan teak saloon on the top deck and three palatial double cabins below. Its robust wooden hull allows for smooth sailing through the scenic waters of the Andaman Sea, making it ideal for both day trips and extended overnight charters. After years of providing unforgettable experiences, Maha Bhetra now graces the shores of Phuket, known as the "Pearl of the Andaman". This vessel is perfect for hosting intimate gatherings of family and friends, offering a serene escape where every moment is crafted to leave a lasting impression.

SailChecker Expert View
Who it suits: Maha Bhetra works well for small groups or families wanting a relaxed motoring holiday with minimal fuss, perfect if you'd rather cruise than sail and prefer comfort over adventure sailing credentials.
Standout features: The zero deposit is genuinely rare and welcome, plus you get solid amenities like Wi-Fi, air conditioning, snorkeling kit, and a dinghy included, which saves money on extras. The cockpit barbecue is a nice touch for entertaining.
Value consideration: At 27.4 metres with three cabins and six berths, this is mid-sized and sensible pricing territory, though the 1994 build age means you're chartering an older vessel, maintenance and modernisation can be variable on yachts this vintage.
One honest note: The operator rating is based on just two reviews, so while 5/5 is encouraging, it's a small sample size; do ask Daymark Marine directly about recent refits, engine service records, and onboard systems before committing.

The marina & destination
Based at Yacht Haven Marina, in Phuket, Thailand. Maha Bhetra is operated by Daymark Marine.
141/2 Moo 2, Mai Khao, Thalang
Yacht Haven Marina sits on Phuket's east coast and offers quick access to the sheltered Phang Nga Bay, where you can explore limestone karsts, hidden lagoons, and quiet anchorages within a day's sail. Week 1 typically involves cruising northward through protected waters toward Krabi or south to the Phi Phi Islands, with reliable northeast monsoon winds (November to April) providing steady conditions. The marina works well as a base for sailors wanting manageable distances, calm water, and the option to return for resupply before heading further afield.
