The yacht cuts loose from Phuket’s marina and the sea opens, flat and bright, the islands growing from the horizon like green punctuation marks. On a clear morning the water turns turquoise within minutes; on board, the pace relaxes into the informal rhythms of a day at sea—snorkel briefings, music from the deck, and the murmur of engines as the captain picks the best anchor line.
