MAJOR AFFAIR

Major Affair — Sunseeker 90 A 2007 Sunseeker 90 based in Phuket, *Major Affair* belongs to a lineage the British yard built its name on: fast, well-proportioned motor yachts that stay comfortable when the Andaman turns from glass to a light chop on the run back from the Similans. Accommodation is arranged across four cabins for up to eight guests overnight, with the detailed bed configuration available on request. For daytime cruising the yacht is certified for as many as 30 guests — a genuinely useful distinction in Thai waters, where a single yacht can serve an eight-guest island-hopping week one month and a larger gathering off Phi Phi the next. The cruising ground is the real luxury here. From Phuket, the itinerary opens onto the limestone towers of Phang Nga Bay, the clear water of the Racha Islands, Krabi and its national park, the Phi Phi group, and further south, Koh Lipe and the Butang archipelago. Mu Ko Similan Marine Park sits within reach for those who want the region's best diving and snorkelling; Koh Samui and Koh Chang extend the range for longer charters. Onboard, the watersports locker covers the essentials properly: waterskis, wakeboards and snorkelling equipment, with more available for guests who prefer their days in the water rather than on it. The crew handles the rest — provisioning, itinerary, tender runs to the beach — and shapes the week around how you actually like to travel, whether that means early anchorages ahead of the day-boat traffic or long, unhurried afternoons at anchor.
