Island Hopping in ThailandTravellers to Thailand will witness the manifestation of the island charm; incredible and dramatic scenery, white beaches lined with tropical coconut trees, and a crystal clear turquoise ocean. Yet, the bustling islands offer visitors a taste of something a little different; something exotic that they won’t find elsewhere. And those that are less well-known possess a rare whiff of a time gone by when life moved more slowly. Choosing a Yacht - Where to Start?There’s nothing more liberating than setting sail on the open sea. For thousands of years, the sea has been a life source for millions of people, and an escape from the pressures of life on land.
There is a myriad of possibilities when it comes to purchasing and customising a Yacht. Consider a few important factors to help you make some of the main decisions.

Originally used by ancient nations as a trade route, this fantastic sea of the Atlantic Ocean has become a popular holiday hot spot. Every year, countless people tour the Mediterranean in search of unprecedented adventure and exploration. The History of YachtingDerived from the Dutch term “jagen”, meaning to hunt or chase, the word Yacht usually refers to a small, fast craft which is excellent for small voyages and short crossings. Originally this meant a fully rigged vessel that was smaller than a pinnace but large enough to be fully decked over.
Defined as such back in 1742, what classified as a Yacht had changed from the years preceding this and would change in the centuries following it.
