YACHT ME

Thailand is widely renowned as a globally acclaimed destination for an exceptional sailing experience. As the demand for yacht and boat charters in Thailand continues to surge, YACHT ME has emerged as a game-changer, providing unparalleled accessibility to this thrilling maritime adventure. The introduction of the innovative YACHT ME platform revolutionises the booking process for yacht and boat trips, providing a seamless experience for both customers and charter operators. This platform not only enhances the way people book their trips but also streamlines the management of charter businesses for yacht/boat owners and companies, making it more efficient and effective.

Back in mid-2019, Trewut Anurakpandit returned to Thailand after successfully completing both a master’s and doctorate degree in naval engineering from the UK. With his foreign friends expressing their desire to explore Thailand’s beautiful water and sea, Trewut took on the task of assisting them in booking various types of yachts and boats for their travels in different areas. However, he encountered a challenge: the process of accessing charter yachts and boat tours in Thailand was very complicated, making it difficult to compare options in terms of price and service type.

Motivated by this challenge, Trewut was inspired to find a solution to simplify the complex process of accessing and chartering yachts and boat tours in Thailand. He envisioned developing a business model that would revolutionise the booking process, making it more user-friendly and efficient for customers. The goal was to create a platform that would not only make it easier to compare options but also enhance the overall experience for everyone involved.

Trewut spent approximately two years studying, researching, and immersing himself in a deeper understanding of the local characteristics of the industry. In 2022, he approached three talented friends who shared his vision and passion for revolutionising the yacht and boat booking process in Thailand. Recognising the value of their individual skills and expertise, he invited them to join him in bringing his project to life. Together, they founded Yacht Me Corporation Co., Ltd.
