Provisioning your charter yacht in Southeast Asian sailing destinations is typically straightforward. It's also sure to be better value than stocking a boat in Mediterranean or Caribbean ports.

In all the main bases servicing popular charter destinations in Southeast  Asia, you may place an online supermarket order and have your purchases delivered to the yacht before arrival. This is particularly convenient when travelling just in time for your charter to begin.

Alternatively, if your travel schedule allows, shop locally on arrival. That's the best way to take advantage of the freshest supplies of seafood and tropical fruit & vegetables, particularly in the local markets. 

In Southeast Asia, dining ashore is very reasonably priced. So armed with information on restaurant services existing across your route, you can dine out when you choose, and save the shopping and food preparation hassles. 

Our charter documentation will provide all details for provisioning, which can be arranged before departure. Some basis groceries, water, cleaning supplies and essential consumables wil be provided onboard as your introductory 'charter pack'. We clarify exactly what’s included so there are no surprises at base.
