Review: Thai-fun
The Gulf Charters school is ideally situated: warm water, warm winds and Thai charm. The boats are 5 minutes out from the berth to sails up. The onsite hotels are great and reasonably priced; nite life in town is nearby. The sailing and the instructors are seasoned sailors and they are wonderful at instilling their passion for the sea in both novice and experienced sailors. The Gulf provides a great mix of leisure, commercial and fishing vessels that enable all aspects of navigation to be experienced without being overly crowded and intimidating. Overnights to small bays with perfect clear water and white sand beaches leave you wanting it to never end.

Review: From Zero to Hero and now a MOY Ocean
All my thanks to Captain Tim and instructors at the "Golf Charters Thailand". They got me started on a Zero to Hero program. Now nine months later I hold the 200 tons Master of Yachts, the ocean/unlimited, have crossed the Atlantic on sail. I can only recommend the course, the classes and practices excel and lay a great foundation.

Review: Definitely worth doing again
Beautiful location. Good sailing as long as there's wind -- and if not, at least the view is nice. Great teachers -- experienced and enjoyable. Can't wait to make it back to sail some more.

Review: Professionalism coupled with Fun
The " competent crew " course which I enrolled in by the end of 2005 , greatly helped me on the way to get going for sailing my own boat. Location and facilities are perfect in Ocean Marina . Instructors made it a pleasure and a challenge to complete the course. More time could be attributed to actual sailing, if courses would start earlier on the day. Besides the written test, I suggest that practical aspects " on the boat " should also be included in the final test result. Through this course one gets a good reality-check what sailing entails. To anyone who is interested to learn sailing under ideal conditons, my firm recommendation is : GoTo Gulfcharters Thailand !
