Island Spirit Yacht Brokerage
Island Spirit Yacht Brokerage is a division of Group Island Spirit. We operate within an active charter fleet, sailing school, and manufacturing facility. Our clients have access to services no other brokerage can offer.
Selling & Managing Yachts Since 2013
The Brokerage at Island Spirit can offer Buyers deals they have never seen before. No other path to yacht ownership in Thailand is shorter than working directly with the manufacturer, charter operator, and sailing school under one roof.
One Company. Every Part of Ownership.
Most yacht companies do one thing. Group Island Spirit does all of it. We build the yacht, sell it to you factory direct, place it in our charter fleet, manage the bookings, maintain the vessel, and train you to sail it at our IYT Certified Sailing Schools in Pattaya and Phuket.
