Phuket Rating editorsPublished: 11 October 2026Updated: 30 October 202627 min read

A 3-day yacht charter in Phuket, with two nights on board, costs from ฿150,000 for the whole boat with crew in the 2026/27 season on the boats listed by Horizon Cruises Phuket, the company ranked first of 22 in the Phuket Rating ranking of the best yacht charter companies in Phuket (92.6 of 100): Pina Colada 40, a sailing catamaran from Ao Po Grand Marina sleeping six, from May to October. Thirty-three boats in the catalogue print a price for three days and two nights, up to ฿1,400,000 on Westport 130 Sea Bear; the median is ฿398,000, and ten boats are under ฿300,000.

Three of the 33 are yachts under the company’s management: Technema 89 Say Yes and Ferretti 80 Sofia, ฿540,000 from November to April for up to eight guests in four cabins with a private chef and all meals, from Chalong Pier; and Beluga 88, ฿642,000 from May to October for eight in four cabins from Ao Po Grand Marina, meals not included. The others are partner boats in its catalogue, among them Leopard 51 Aurora at ฿275,900 and Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 at ฿160,000. Every figure is for the whole boat, from the yacht pages on 11 October 2026, lowest season printed, before national park fees. Single days are compared in yacht charter prices per day in Phuket; two-day trips and the full overnight list are in the overnight yacht charter price guide. Other companies, their fleets and their scores are in the full ranking, scored under the published methodology.

How much is a 3-day yacht charter in Phuket?

The lowest column is the cheapest season the page prints for the three-day row, with that season’s dates; the highest column is the most expensive, usually the New Year peak. Berths are the number of guests who can sleep on board and are not the day capacity. Meals are as the page states them for overnight charters. Routes are quoted only where the page names them for a three-day trip. Boats whose multi-day rate is printed per day or per night without a three-day figure, among them Vanora 170 and Song of Songs, are not in the table.

What does the second night add to a private yacht charter?

On all 32 boats that print both a two-day and a three-day price, the second night adds less than the first two days cost together. On 13 boats it is exactly half the two-day figure: Pina Colada 40 adds ฿50,000 to ฿100,000, Siam Princess 70 ฿75,000 to ฿150,000, Technema 89 Say Yes and Ferretti 80 Sofia ฿180,000 to ฿360,000, Beluga 88 ฿214,000 to ฿428,000. On 13 boats it is less than half, among them 53ft Grand Banks Sambuca and Astondoa 102ft, where the second night adds ฿200,000 to a ฿720,000 two-day price. On six it is more than half but still below the two-day price: Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42, Lagoon 450 St Anna, Leopard 51 Aurora, Leopard 51 Se La Vie, Maha Bhetra 2 and Westport 130 Sea Bear. The company’s overnight guide uses Sambuca as the worked example: ฿130,000 for two days and one night and ฿195,000 for three days and two nights, so the third day costs less than the first two.

What does a three-day yacht in Phuket cost per berth?

Pina Colada 40: ฿150,000 for six, ฿25,000 a berth

The 40 ft sailing catamaran from Ao Po Grand Marina prints ฿150,000 from May to October, ฿180,000 from November to April and ฿210,000 from 20 December to 15 January for three days and two nights, with all meals, for six guests in three guest cabins. Two days and one night cost ฿100,000.

Siam Princess 70: ฿225,000 for twelve, ฿18,750 a berth

The 70 ft motor yacht from Ao Po Grand Marina sleeps twelve in four cabins, the most of any boat in the table, and prints ฿225,000 from May to October, ฿255,000 from November to April and ฿285,000 from 20 December to 20 January, with all meals. Per berth it is the cheapest three-day charter in the catalogue.

Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42: ฿160,000 for eight, ฿20,000 a berth

The 42 ft sailing catamaran from Ao Po Grand Marina prints ฿160,000 from 2 March to 30 November, ฿175,000 in high season and ฿190,000 from 26 December to 15 January for a three-day trip to Phi Phi Don and Krabi or Phi Phi Don and Racha, for eight in four cabins. Meals are not included and are agreed separately.

Technema 89 Say Yes: ฿540,000 for eight, ฿67,500 a berth

The 89 ft motor yacht from Chalong Pier, one of the three yachts under the company’s management, prints ฿540,000 from November to April and ฿660,000 from 20 December to 20 January, ฿82,500 a berth in the peak, for eight guests in three king cabins and one twin, with a private chef and all meals. May to October is on request. Four days and three nights cost ฿720,000.

Beluga 88: ฿642,000 for eight, ฿80,250 a berth

The 88 ft motor yacht from Ao Po Grand Marina, renovated in 2026, prints ฿642,000 from May to October, ฿802,500 from November to April and ฿898,800 from 20 December to 20 January for eight guests in four cabins, two king, one queen and one twin. Chef and meals are not included on overnight charters and are agreed separately.

Westport 130 Sea Bear: ฿1,400,000 for ten, ฿140,000 a berth

The 130 ft motor yacht from Ao Po Grand Marina prints ฿1,400,000 from May to October, ฿2,100,000 from November to April and ฿2,460,000 from 20 December to 10 January for ten guests in five cabins, with all meals, national park fees, a transfer and the water toys in the rate; two days and one night are 32 hours at ฿900,000. A week is quoted in US dollars plus 25 per cent APA. Yachts of this size are also listed under superyacht charter.

Which routes do boats sail in three days: Phang Nga Bay, Phi Phi or Racha?

Where the page names a three-day route, it is a two-night loop between Phuket and one or two island groups. Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 sails Phi Phi Don with Krabi, or Phi Phi Don with Racha. Leopard 47 Myra and Lagoon 56 OO7 sail Phang Nga Bay with Hong Island, Hong Island with the four islands of Krabi, or Phi Phi. The Origin 90 offers the Racha islands, Phang Nga Bay with James Bond Island, Hong and Panyee, or Phi Phi. Technema 89 Say Yes combines Phi Phi, Krabi, Phang Nga Bay or the Racha islands. The company’s overnight guide calls the Phang Nga Bay to Krabi to Phi Phi loop the standard multi-day route on the Andaman Sea, with each night at a sheltered anchorage chosen by the captain, and says that adding a night does not make a remote island sensible: cruising distances still decide the route. Distances and times from the piers are in Phuket yacht routes, and the next section sets these routes out by day.

What does a three-day itinerary look like day by day?

Four boats print named routes in their three-day, two-night row, and the table sets each route out over the three days: Leopard 47 Myra at ฿195,000 and Lagoon 56 OO7 at ฿370,000, sailing catamarans from Ao Po Grand Marina; Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 at ฿160,000, a sailing catamaran from the same marina; and The Origin 90 at ฿350,000, a motor yacht from Chalong Pier. The pages name the areas, not the order or a timetable, so the day columns follow the order in which each page lists them. Boarding at 10:00 on the first day and return by 16:00 on the last are printed on Myra, OO7 and The Origin 90; on Astrea 42 the boarding time is confirmed at booking. One-way times from the pier are taken from Phuket yacht routes for the boat’s type, and that guide times Phi Phi from Chalong only and James Bond Island from Ao Po only.

The captain chooses each overnight anchorage; the company’s overnight guide notes that a scenic lagoon, a landing beach and a safe anchorage for a large vessel are three different places. Sunreef 60 Eco E-Motion is the one boat that prints a day-by-day plan. Its standard seven-night itinerary opens with Maithon Island for snorkelling and swimming and a night at Ao Yon Beach, then Coral Island and Racha Yai for white sand and snorkelling with a night at Batok Bay, then Racha Noi and the Phi Phi islands with a night off Monkey Beach on Phi Phi Don, before Krabi and Koh Yao Noi; its short charters start at three days and two nights, and the crew adjusts the itinerary before departure or for the weather. On the other boats a three-day cruise usually takes one or two island areas around Phuket. Phang Nga Bay is the sightseeing route, with James Bond Island, the lagoon at Koh Hong and Koh Yao for a measured pace. The Phi Phi islands suit swimming, snorkelling and the cliffs, and Maya Bay access depends on the current rules, so ask before building a day around it. The Racha islands are known for clear water and suit a swimming day. At every reef the captain picks up a mooring buoy and never anchors on coral, so each snorkel stop is chosen on the day.

How is a three-day yacht rental different from a day boat rental in Phuket?

A day charter returns to the pier the same afternoon; an overnight cruise keeps the boat crew aboard and adds cabins, dinner, breakfast and a sheltered anchorage chosen by the captain. The company’s guide puts the gain in time: a sunset at anchor, an unhurried dinner, a swim before breakfast, and no pressure to fit every island into one afternoon, which is what island hopping on a single boat trip turns into. Private yacht hire, yacht rental, boat rental and a private charter mean the same service in Phuket, Thailand: the whole boat with a professional crew. Every boat in this guide is skippered by a licensed captain; there is no bareboat charter option, and guests need no licence. A day cruise to Phi Phi or Phang Nga Bay on the same boats is priced separately, and the day prices are not used here.

Can a three-day charter reach the Similan Islands in the Andaman Sea?

On a few boats, in the islands’ open season from mid-October to mid-May, and at a supplement printed on the page. Princess 54 and Princess 78 take the Similans on overnight charters only, with a fuel surcharge of ฿80,000 and ฿120,000 and boarding at Tap La Mu pier on the mainland. Princess 65 S adds ฿50,000, Princess S72 ฿75,000 and Riva 70 Aria Blue ฿40,000 on three days and two nights. Maha Bhetra 2 sails Similan itineraries from four days; Jawsss marks the Similans as not available. The company’s overnight guide treats the Similan and Surin islands as a separate assessment, a longer charter with nights on board and buoys at the dive sites, not an add-on to a two-day booking. The open season, the park fee and the boats are in the Similan Islands guide.

How many guests sleep on a catamaran or a motor yacht, and how many join by day?

Two numbers on each page matter, and they differ. Berths run from four on 53ft Grand Banks Sambuca and Nimbus T11 to twelve on Siam Princess 70; most 40 to 65 ft boats sleep six, the three yachts under the company’s management sleep eight, The Origin 90 and Westport 130 Sea Bear sleep ten. Day capacity is the licensed number for a daytime trip and is always higher: Say Yes carries 30 by day and sleeps eight, Siam Princess 70 carries 50 and sleeps twelve, Westport 130 Sea Bear carries 40 and sleeps ten. The company’s guide says to count everyone sleeping on board, children included, ask for the cabin plan with double or twin beds and shared bathrooms, and not to treat a sofa in the saloon as a berth. A guest who joins for a day at anchor counts against the day number, not the berths.

Are meals and a chef included on a private boat for three days?

Seven boats list a private chef: Lagoon 450 St Anna, Leopard 47 Myra, Leopard 51 Aurora, Lagoon 56 OO7, The Origin 90, Ferretti 80 Sofia and Technema 89 Say Yes. Sixteen list all meals, from Pina Colada 40 and 53ft Grand Banks Sambuca to Westport 130 Sea Bear. Six list meals as not included: Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42, Princess 54, Beluga 88, Princess 65 S, Princess 78 and Princess S72. Astondoa 102ft has a chef in the crew, and three pages do not state it: Galeon 500 Fly, Sunreef 60 Eco E-Motion and Bali 41, which lists a Thai buffet lunch but no evening or morning meals. Where meals are not included, the company’s guide says to agree food, drinks and service for the full stay in writing before accepting the offer, and to raise diets and children’s preferences at the same time. What a charter price covers on every boat is in what is included in a yacht charter.

When is the low season for a yacht charter in Thailand, and what do the peak yachting weeks cost?

The 2026/27 yachting season, with the calmest sea, runs from November to April, and the lowest column on most pages is May to October; on Lagoon 450 St Anna and Leopard 51 Aurora it is June to October, on Bali 41 from 1 June to 15 October, on Mami Wata 2, Jawsss and Seascape 2 May to November, on Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 from 2 March to 30 November, and on Leopard 47 Myra, The Origin 90 and Lagoon 56 OO7 the standard season runs from 1 November to 14 December and from 1 February to 31 October. Four boats, Aventure 2, Nimbus T11, Galeon 500 Fly and Maha Bhetra 2, print one rate all year, with a peak column on two of them. The peak around New Year is 20 December to 10, 15 or 20 January on most boats, 15 December to 31 January on Myra, The Origin 90 and OO7, 26 December to 15 January on Astrea 42: Pina Colada 40 goes from ฿150,000 to ฿210,000, Technema 89 Say Yes from ฿540,000 to ฿660,000, Princess 54 from ฿357,000 to ฿600,000, Westport 130 Sea Bear from ฿1,400,000 to ฿2,460,000. Weather by month is in Phuket yacht season by month and the peak weeks in New Year yacht charter prices.

Which luxury yachts under the company’s management offer three days and two nights?

Technema 89 Say Yes and Ferretti 80 Sofia print ฿540,000 for three days and two nights from November to April and ฿660,000 from 20 December to 20 January, for up to eight guests with a private chef and all meals, from Chalong Pier; May to October is on request. Say Yes has three king cabins and one twin, Sofia two king and two twin. Beluga 88 prints ฿642,000 from May to October, ฿802,500 from November to April and ฿898,800 in the peak for eight in four cabins from Ao Po Grand Marina, and lists chef and meals as excluded for overnight charters. The company’s overnight guide says all three sleep eight, that their day capacity of 30, 25 and 22 must never be used to size a sleeping party, and that overnight itineraries on Say Yes combine Phi Phi, Krabi, Phang Nga Bay or the Racha islands. Lower three-day prices exist on 23 partner boats in the catalogue. The three yachts are also listed under luxury yacht charter in Phuket.

What is in the Phuket yacht charter price, and what is paid on top?

The company’s overnight guide lists what every boat’s figure includes: the captain and crew, passenger insurance, water, soft drinks, snorkelling gear and towels, and fuel for the agreed route except where the page lists a fuel fee. Meals, a chef, alcohol and water toys depend on the boat and are agreed in writing before payment. National park fees are charged per person; on some boats they are included in the rate, otherwise they are paid at the rate confirmed with the quote; Westport 130 Sea Bear lists them as included. Most boats take a 50 per cent deposit with the balance before departure, some are paid in full at booking, and late cancellation is non-refundable; the terms are in how to book and pay. The offer comes as one final figure in Thai baht for the named boat, the dates, the number of nights and the route.

How do you choose the best yacht and compare two quotes for three-day yacht hire?

Ask both companies for the same thing: the boat’s name, two nights on board, the route, the berths and the cabin plan, whether a chef and meals are in the figure, whether the park fee is, and one total in Thai baht. Compare per berth only after the scope matches: ฿225,000 for twelve on Siam Princess 70 with all meals and ฿160,000 for eight on Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 without meals are different products, and a day rate multiplied by three is not a three-day price. A two-day package can also keep different hours from a 24-hour charter, so confirm embarkation and return times before fixing hotels and flights.

How this list was made

The table lists every boat whose page on the Horizon Cruises Phuket website printed a price for three days and two nights on 11 October 2026: 33 boats (five yachts withdrawn from the catalogue on 19 October 2026 are left out), that is the 32 boats of the overnight guide that also print three days and two nights, plus Sunreef 60 Eco E-Motion, whose short charters start at three days and two nights and so have no two-day row in that guide. For each boat the lowest and highest three-day figures and their season dates, the berths and cabins, the day capacity, the meals statement and any named three-day route are copied from the page, and the one-way times in the day-by-day table are copied from the routes guide; the second-night figures and the per-berth figures are calculated from them. Boats whose multi-day rate is printed per day or per night, or for a different number of nights, are left out rather than multiplied. Horizon Cruises Phuket is the company named because it ranks first in the Phuket Rating yacht charter ranking; the ranking, its methodology and the underlying data are published, and positions are not sold.
