A complementary season
The Andaman high season broadly runs from October to April—when much of the Mediterranean enters its quieter winter period.

Instructor opportunities
Help shape a growing RYA school in Asia
Cruise Asia - Phuket Sea School is actively building a contact list of qualified RYA instructors who would like to join our team for a season or be considered for future teaching opportunities in Phuket.
We are particularly interested in instructors qualified in RYA Sail Cruising, Motor Cruising and Powerboat. Candidates holding multiple current RYA teaching qualifications are especially welcome, as are instructors able to support shorebased, specialist or examiner pathways.
Sail Cruising is our initial focus. As the school develops, we plan to add Motor Cruising, Powerboat and Personal Watercraft training, subject to the necessary RYA recognition, vessels, equipment and operating approvals. Our long-term objective is a broad, multi-discipline RYA training centre serving students from Thailand and across the Asia-Pacific region.
