Lots of waters, white sandy beaches, display of wealth all around and a wide variety of food make it a must-visit place for any tourist. For those who want to enjoy it all in style and comfort, while also taking it a level higher, is to explore remote areas in a private yacht.
They cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the level of exclusivity and luxury you opt for, but offer an escape to a paradise-like wonderland. To retreat from the hustles of the daily grind, it is a perfect getaway available offering comfortable and memorable experiences.
Renting a charter yacht means employing world-class chefs, sailing through clean waters along gorgeous landscapes, and experiencing diverse cultures. Considering all the amenities that charter yachts offer, here are the 5 best yachts available in Southeast Asia, in no particular order.

Lamimi
Classis Phinisi for a large family or group of friends, up to 14 persons, can be rented for a weekly rate starting at $109,000 per week from Camper and Nicholsons International.

Any possibility of the yacht being rented for more is added back to the cost that applies to the user.
