• FAQ:
  How much does a catamaran charter cost in Phuket?

  Catamaran charter in Phuket starts from 22,400 THB per day (approx. $640 USD) for a sailing catamaran with captain and crew. Motor catamarans start from 35,000 THB. Prices are per boat, not per person. For 20 guests on a 30,000 THB catamaran, that's just 1,500 THB ($43) per person.

  ---

  Are catamarans better for seasickness?

  Yes, significantly. Catamarans have two hulls which makes them far more stable than monohull boats. They rock much less in waves, making them the best choice for guests prone to motion sickness. Most people who get seasick on regular boats do fine on catamarans.

  ---

  Can I go overnight on a catamaran?

  Absolutely. Most catamarans in our fleet have 3-4 private cabins with en-suite bathrooms, making them ideal for overnight and multi-day cruises. A 2-day/1-night catamaran cruise starts from 55,000 THB. Wake up anchored at a deserted island!

  ---

  How many people fit on a catamaran?

  Our catamarans range from small sailing cats for 6 guests to large motor catamarans for up to 50 guests. The most popular sizes carry 20-30 guests comfortably. Catamarans offer more usable space per foot than monohulls thanks to their wide beam.

  ---

  Can we sail or is it always motor?

  We have both sailing catamarans (using sails + auxiliary engine) and motor catamarans. Sailing cats offer a romantic, eco-friendly experience. Your captain will use sails when wind conditions allow and motor when needed to keep your schedule.

  ---

  What is the best catamaran route from Phuket?

  For a full-day trip, Coral Island + Promthep Cape sunset is the most popular: swim, snorkel, lunch on deck, and catch the sunset. For adventure seekers, Phi Phi Islands by catamaran is unforgettable. For relaxation, a Phang Nga Bay cruise through limestone karsts is spectacular.

Why Choose a Catamaran?

Catamarans are the gold standard for island-hopping in Thailand. Their twin-hull design delivers benefits that no monohull can match:

• Stability — minimal rocking, even in choppy conditions. Perfect for guests who get seasick on regular boats
• Space — up to 2x the deck area of a monohull the same length. Enormous sun decks, trampolines, and lounging areas
• Shallow draft — can anchor closer to beaches and navigate shallow bays that deep-keel yachts can't reach
• Sailing experience — sailing catamarans offer the romance of wind power with the comfort of modern amenities
• Multiple cabins — ideal for overnight trips with separate sleeping quarters

Catamaran Types Available in Phuket

Popular Catamaran Routes from Phuket

Coral Island & Promthep Cape (Full Day)

Phi Phi Islands (Full Day)

A full-day sailing adventure to Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, and Viking Cave. Catamarans handle the 1.5–2 hour crossing smoothly thanks to their twin hulls. Anchor in shallow turquoise bays that monohulls can't reach. From 35,000 THB.

Catamarans are ideal for overnight charters with multiple private cabins, full galley, and en-suite bathrooms. Wake up anchored at a deserted island, swim before breakfast, and explore at your own pace. 2-day/1-night from 55,000 THB.

  ---

  What happens if the weather is bad?

  If weather conditions are unsafe for sailing, you can rebook for free or receive a full refund. Light overcast skies often create the most dramatic, colorful sunsets — so don't cancel just because it's cloudy! Your captain will advise on conditions before departure.

Sunset Cruise Options in Phuket

Every Phuket sunset cruise follows the island's spectacular west coast, where the sun drops into the Andaman Sea in a blaze of orange and purple. Most cruises include a swimming stop at a nearby island, snorkeling, and drinks on deck as the sky lights up.

Best Sunset Cruise Routes

Promthep Cape Cruise (2.5–3.5h)

The classic Phuket sunset experience. Depart Chalong Bay in the late afternoon, cruise south past Nai Harn Beach, and watch the sunset from the water right at Promthep Cape — the same view that draws hundreds of tourists to the lookout every evening, but you'll see it from the best seat possible: your own private yacht. Most boats include a stop for swimming or snorkeling at Koh Tapao or Yanui Beach.

Coral Island & Sunset (4–5h)

The most popular option. Spend the afternoon at Coral Island (Koh Hae) — swim in turquoise water, snorkel over coral reefs, relax on the beach. Then cruise back along the coast as the sun sets over Promthep Cape. Perfect balance of island time and sunset magic.

Naka Noi Island Sunset (3h)

A more exclusive route to Phuket's northeast. Visit the pearl farms of Naka Noi Island, swim in calm waters, and watch the sun set with Phang Nga Bay's limestone karsts as your backdrop. Available on select larger yachts.

What to Expect on Your Sunset Cruise

• Departure: Typically 2:00–3:30 PM from Chalong Pier (exact time varies by season)
• Swimming & snorkeling stop at a nearby island or bay
• Open bar or BYOB — most yachts welcome your own drinks, or order a drinks package

Phuket is Thailand's largest island and the gateway to the Andaman Sea — home to over 30 stunning islands within day-trip distance. A private boat rental gives you complete freedom: no fixed schedules, no crowds, just you, your group, and crystal-clear waters.

Unlike group tours that follow rigid timetables and pack 30+ strangers onto one boat, a private rental lets you:

• Set your own schedule — depart when you want, stay as long as you like at each stop
• Choose your destinations — visit Phi Phi, James Bond Island, Coral Island, or hidden beaches most tourists never see
• Enjoy complete privacy — perfect for families, couples, celebrations, or corporate events

  When is the cheapest time to charter a yacht in Thailand?

  Low season (May-October) offers the best prices, typically 5-15% below regular rates. The Gulf of Thailand side (Koh Samui) has calm seas during these months, making it ideal for budget-conscious travelers. Peak season (mid-December to mid-February) has the highest prices.

  Is it cheaper to charter in Phuket, Krabi, or Koh Samui?

  Koh Samui has the lowest starting prices (from 20,600 THB for a full day) due to shorter distances to islands. Phuket has the largest fleet (95+ yachts) with prices from 22,400 THB, offering the most choice. Krabi starts from 25,000 THB but has stunning karst scenery and fewer crowds.

  How do I pay for a yacht charter?

  A 50% deposit secures your booking, with the balance due on the day of charter. We accept bank transfer, credit card (Visa, Mastercard), and PayPal. Free cancellation is available up to 48 hours before departure, and weather-related cancellations receive a full refund or free rebooking.

  Are yacht charter prices per person or per boat?

  All our prices are per boat, not per person. This means the cost is the same whether you have 2 guests or the maximum capacity. For example, a yacht priced at 35,000 THB for 15 guests works out to just 2,333 THB ($67) per person - significantly cheaper than group boat tours.

  Do I need to tip the crew?

  Tipping is not mandatory but appreciated for good service. A typical tip is 500-1,000 THB per crew member for a day charter, or 10-15% of the charter cost for multi-day trips. You can tip in cash directly to the captain at the end of your trip.

What Affects Yacht Charter Prices?

Yacht Size & Type

The biggest factor in pricing. A 30ft speedboat for 6 guests starts from 22,400 THB/day, while a 100ft+ superyacht for 30+ guests can cost over 1,000,000 THB/day. Catamarans and sailing yachts typically fall between motor yachts and superyachts in price.

Season

Thailand has three pricing seasons:

• Low Season (May–October): Best prices, 5–15% below regular. Seas can be rougher on the Andaman side (Phuket, Krabi), but the Gulf (Samui) is calm.
• Regular Season (March–April, November–mid December): Standard pricing. Great weather, fewer crowds than peak.
• Peak Season (mid-December–mid February): Highest prices, 5–15% above regular. Book 2–4 weeks in advance for best selection.

Charter Duration

Longer charters offer better value per hour. A full-day charter (7–8h) typically costs only 30–50% more than a half-day (4–5h) on the same yacht. Overnight and multi-day charters include additional overnight fees.

Destination & Distance

Nearby destinations like Coral Island (20 min from Phuket) cost less in fuel than Phi Phi Islands (1.5–2 hours). National park entry fees (200–400 THB/person) are separate.
