Frequently Asked Questions
Planning a Thailand Charter
Our Thailand charters are priced in Thai baht and vary by yacht, duration, and season, with packages starting from around ฿20,000 for our sailing catamaran. Speedboats and larger motor yachts are priced accordingly for their size and capacity. Browse our Phuket fleet for starting rates, or contact us for a tailored quote.
Most charters depart from Chalong Pier, one of Phuket’s main launch points for island trips, though your exact departure point can vary by yacht. We’ll confirm the pier and boarding time when you book so you know exactly where to meet.
Yes, we can help arrange transfers from your hotel in areas like Patong, Kata, or Karon to the departure pier. Just let our team know your accommodation when booking and we’ll coordinate the pick-up.
The Andaman high season (roughly November to April) is busy, so we recommend booking two to four weeks ahead to secure your preferred yacht and date. Earlier is better for peak periods and public holidays. You can enquire here to check availability.

Islands & Itineraries
From Phuket you can explore a huge range of islands, including the famous Phi Phi Islands, Coral Island, Racha Yai, Khai Island, Maithon Island, and Naka Island. Explore all the destinations on our Discover pages to plan your ideal route.
Yes. A day charter can take you into the dramatic limestone scenery of Phang Nga Bay and the iconic James Bond Island. Travel time depends on your departure point and vessel, which our team will factor into your itinerary.
Absolutely — the Phi Phi Islands are one of our most requested private-charter routes, ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and photos in the turquoise bays. A faster vessel like a speedboat gets
you there with more time to explore.
First-timers often love a mix of easy-to-reach spots like Coral Island and Racha Yai for clear water and snorkeling, or the scenery of Phang Nga Bay. Our crew will recommend a route based on your group, timing, and the day’s conditions.
Yes, a sunset cruise is a beautiful way to enjoy the Andaman Sea, with calm evening waters and golden views. It’s popular for couples, celebrations, and relaxed evenings on the water — just ask us to arrange one.
Yes, several of our yachts are suited to longer island-hopping trips beyond a single day. Contact our team with your dates and the islands you’d like to see, and we’ll design a multi-day itinerary.
Private Charter vs Join Trip
A private charter gives you exclusive use of the yacht for your group, with a route tailored to you. A Join Trip is an affordable, ticketed day trip you share with other guests on a set itinerary — great value for solo travellers, couples, and small groups.
Yes, our Join Trip day trips are designed to be hassle-free and all-inclusive, so you can simply turn up and enjoy the day. See what’s covered on the Join Trip page.
If you want privacy, flexibility, and a custom route, choose a private charter; if you’re after the best value and don’t mind a fixed itinerary with other guests, a Join Trip is ideal. Tell us your group size and budget and we’ll point you to the right option.
Boats & Capacity
A speedboat is fast and fun for covering more islands in a day, a sailing catamaran offers spacious, relaxed cruising for larger groups, and a motor yacht delivers premium comfort and space. You can compare all three on our fleet page and we’ll help you match the vessel to your plans.
Capacity ranges from around 8 guests on our speedboat to 35 on our sailing catamaran, so we can cater to intimate outings and larger celebrations alike. Exact capacity is listed on each yacht on our fleet page.
For fast-paced island hopping, a speedboat covers more ground; for a leisurely day of sunbathing, swimming, and dining, a catamaran or motor yacht is more comfortable. Our team will recommend the best fit once we know your itinerary.
On the Water — Activities
Snorkeling gear is provided on many of our yachts so you can explore the reefs and clear waters around the islands. We’ll confirm the equipment onboard your chosen vessel when you book.
Yes, we can arrange scuba excursions as part of your experience for those who want to explore beneath the surface. Let us know when booking and we’ll coordinate the dive and equipment.

You can add a food and beverage package to your charter, or we can tailor catering to your preferences. Let us know any dietary requirements and we’ll arrange the menu ahead of your trip.
