An overnight yacht charter in Phuket with crew costs from ฿100,000 for two days and one night on a 40 ft sailing catamaran, from ฿112,000 on a power catamaran and from ฿130,000 on a motor yacht in the 2026/27 season; Technema 89 Say Yes and Ferretti 80 Sofia, with a private chef and all meals, are ฿360,000 in high season. The table lists 45 named boats that sleep from 4 to 22 guests, with their cabins, prices, meals and departure piers, taken from each boat’s own page on 30 September 2026.

The two price columns show the lowest and the highest listed price for two days and one night on each boat’s page; where a boat prices a 24-hour or a 32-hour charter instead, the cell says so. The three-day column is the lowest listed price for three days and two nights; a dash means the page lists none. ‡ Plus a fuel surcharge of ฿35,000 on a one-night trip to Phi Phi, the Racha islands or Krabi, ฿38,000 to Racha Noi. On the boats that use it, the standard season runs from 1 November to 14 December and from 1 February to 31 October. On Technema 89 Say Yes the low-season price, May to October, is on request; the page of Ferretti 80 Sofia lists high season and peak only. On Leopard 47 Myra, The Origin 90 and Lagoon 56 OO7 the lowest price is for the nearer route and the highest for Phi Phi in peak season.

Two more yachts are priced differently. Song of Songs, 139 ft with six cabins for 12 guests, is quoted in US dollars: USD 46,000 all-inclusive for two full days and one night, or USD 25,000 per night from noon to noon; the nightly rate carries a 15% tax for Thai waters and an advance provisioning allowance of 25%. Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION, a 60 ft sailing catamaran for eight, starts at three days and two nights, from ฿571,800 in low season.

What a night on board costs by boat type

Boat type	Boats	2 days / 1 night, lowest listed price	Sleeps
Sailing catamaran	5	฿100,000 to ฿270,000	6 to 8
Power catamaran	7	฿112,000 to ฿180,000	6 to 12
Motor yacht under 60 ft	9	฿130,000 to ฿419,800	4 to 6
Motor yacht, 60 to 80 ft	12	฿150,000 to ฿600,000	6 to 12
Motor yacht over 80 ft	10	฿228,000 to ฿900,000	6 to 22
Speedboat with cabins	1	฿272,000	4
Sailing yacht	1	฿290,000	7

The lowest price is on a sailing catamaran, ฿100,000; power catamarans start at ฿112,000. The pages of the sailing catamarans send them into Phang Nga Bay, to the Khai and Naka islands, or to Phi Phi and Krabi over two or three days. Among motor yachts neither length nor cabin count predicts the price: Siam Princess 70 sleeps 12 in four cabins for ฿150,000, while a 78 ft Princess with four cabins for eight starts at ฿550,000.

How many guests sleep on board

Overnight capacity is set by the cabins, not by the deck. It is far lower than the day capacity of the same boat:

Technema 89 Say Yes: 30 guests by day, 8 overnight in three king cabins and one twin.
Ferretti 80 Sofia: 25 by day, 8 overnight in two king cabins and two twins.
Beluga 88: 22 by day, 8 overnight in four cabins.
The Origin 90: 30 by day, 10 overnight in five cabins.
Shangani 70 Ft: 60 by day, 12 overnight in six cabins, counted as 10 adults and 2 children.
Siam Princess 70: 50 by day, 12 overnight in four cabins.
Vanora 170: 80 by day, 22 overnight in eleven cabins, four doubles and seven twins.

Across the 45 boats, 3 sleep four guests, 18 sleep six and 16 sleep eight. Aventure sleeps seven, Major Affair nine, and The Origin 90, Falcon 106 and Westport 130 Sea Bear ten each. A group of more than twelve has one boat on this list, Vanora 170, or two boats sailing together. Everyone who stays the night counts towards the limit, children included. On Astondoa 102ft the rate covers eight guests, and a ninth and a tenth are ฿20,000 each per night.

Day capacity and prices for bigger parties are compared in yacht charter in Phuket for 20 to 30 people.

Meals, chef and crew overnight

Meals are handled differently from boat to boat. The yacht pages fall into four groups:

A private chef and all meals in the price. Technema 89 Say Yes, Ferretti 80 Sofia, Lagoon 450 St Anna, Leopard 51 Aurora, Leopard 47 Myra, The Origin 90 and Lagoon 56 OO7.
All meals in the price. 22 boats state breakfast, lunch and dinner or full board on overnight charters, among them Pina Colada 40, Siam Princess 70, Bertram 50ft, Azimut 55 After 8, Riva 70 Aria Blue and Westport 130 Sea Bear. The four Leopard power catamarans at Boat Lagoon Marina and Shangani 70 Ft also include six beers per adult per night and transfers. Leopard 51 Se La Vie serves three meals a day, except the first breakfast and the last dinner.
Meals not included. Ten boats. On Beluga 88 a private chef on a multi-day charter is listed at ฿10,000, and menu ingredients at ฿1,050 or ฿1,750 per person. On Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 the menu on board is ฿500 per guest for groups of six or more. Princess 42, Princess 78 Maritimus, Princess 78 W.J.Lip, Princess S65 KATI and Princess S72 KATI S offer meals at ฿5,000 per person per day. On Vanora 170 food is not included, while fuel and national park fees are.
Not stated. Bilgin 98ft, Astondoa 102ft and Falcon 106 list a private chef in the crew; their pages do not spell out the meals for the night. The pages of Azimut 46, Olympia 76 and Galeon 500 Fly do not state them either.

The crew stays on board overnight. Several boats add a person for the night: The Origin 90 has five crew by day and six overnight, Leopard 47 Myra and Lagoon 56 OO7 three by day and four overnight, the fourth being the chef. What a standard charter covers, from fuel to towels and transfers, is set out in what is included in a yacht charter.

How long “two days and one night” lasts

The label covers different hours: on the pages that state them, from 24 to 32.5.

From 10:00 to 16:00 the next day, 30 hours. The Origin 90 and Leopard 47 Myra.
From 10:00 to 18:30 the next day, 32.5 hours. Mami Wata.
32 hours. Azimut 46 and Westport 130 Sea Bear.
24 hours. The four Leopard power catamarans at Boat Lagoon Marina, Shangani 70 Ft and Vanora 170. Extending the last day costs ฿30,000 on the Leopards and ฿80,000 on Shangani 70 Ft.
Noon to noon. The nightly rate of Song of Songs; Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION also counts its days from 12:00 to 12:00.

Astondoa 102ft also counts engine hours: two days and one night include six and three days and two nights eight; additional engine time is ฿30,000 per hour.

Where an overnight route goes

The yacht pages name four areas for a one-night trip:

Phi Phi. Pileh Lagoon, Loh Samah Bay, Maya Bay and Phi Phi Don. After a night at anchor the boat is already there in the early morning, before day boats from Phuket can make the crossing. It is the dearer route where the page prices routes separately: ฿150,000 against ฿135,000 on Leopard 47 Myra, ฿295,000 against ฿270,000 on Lagoon 56 OO7, ฿290,000 against ฿250,000 on The Origin 90. Day prices and the Maya Bay rules are in private yacht from Phuket to Phi Phi.
The Racha islands and Maiton. South and south-east of Phuket. The Origin 90, from Chalong Pier, prices this route at ฿250,000 for two days and one night.
Phang Nga Bay, the Khai and Naka islands. Sheltered water north-east of Phuket, the nearer route for boats from Ao Po Grand Marina.
Krabi. Hong Island, Railay and the Four Islands group, which includes Poda and Chicken Island. Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 lists Krabi for two days; Leopard 47 Myra and Lagoon 56 OO7 list it from three.

On the Leopard power catamarans at Boat Lagoon Marina and on Shangani 70 Ft, a one-night trip to Phi Phi, the Racha islands or Krabi carries a fuel surcharge of ฿35,000, or ฿38,000 to Racha Noi; from two nights there is none. The Similan Islands are a longer trip. Princess 54 and Princess 78 go there on overnight charters only, from two days and one night, boarding at Tap La Mu pier on the mainland, with a fuel surcharge of ฿80,000 on Princess 54 and ฿120,000 on Princess 78. Jawsss and Maha Bhetra list the Similans from four days, at ฿459,900 and ฿830,000.

The captain chooses the anchorage for the night according to the weather; not every bay on a day itinerary is suitable for anchoring overnight. Distances between the islands are in the guide to Phuket yacht routes.

Two nights, three nights and a week

Thirty-three of the 45 boats list three days and two nights, and on many of them the second night costs less than the first. Pina Colada 40 is ฿100,000 for one night and ฿150,000 for two; Ferretti 80 Sofia and Technema 89 Say Yes are ฿360,000 and ฿540,000; The Origin 90 is ฿250,000 and ฿350,000. Longer published trips:

Lagoon 450 St Anna: up to eight days and seven nights, ฿476,900 in low season.
Leopard 51 Aurora: eight days and seven nights, ฿765,900 in low season.
Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42: seven days and six nights around the Andaman Sea, ฿380,000 in low season.
Siam Princess 70: seven days and six nights, ฿525,000 in low season.
Ferretti 80 Sofia and Technema 89 Say Yes: four days and three nights, ฿720,000 in high season and ฿880,000 in peak.
Beluga 88: seven days and six nights, ฿1,498,000 in low season.
Aventure, a 95 ft (29 m) sailing yacht chartered only with overnight stays: from ฿290,000 for two days to ฿1,088,000 for eight days and seven nights, the same all year, full board included.

Some yachts switch to another pricing model for a week. Astondoa 102ft quotes a rate per night from three nights, ฿420,000 in low season, and ฿400,000 per night from six nights. Princess S65 KATI, Princess S72 KATI S and Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION quote seven nights in US dollars plus an advance provisioning allowance of 30%: a prepaid fund for fuel, food and berthing, settled against receipts at the end. Prices for the largest yachts are compared in luxury yacht charter in Phuket.

When to go

November to April is the high season, with the calmer sea. May to October is cheaper on the boats with a separate low-season price, and the gap varies by boat. Princess 54 is ฿238,000 in low season, ฿336,000 in high season and ฿400,000 in peak. Beluga 88 is ฿428,000, ฿535,000 and ฿599,200. Westport 130 Sea Bear is ฿900,000 in low season and ฿1,400,000 in high season. Aventure, Galeon 500 Fly and Vanora 170 keep one price all year.

The peak is priced separately on most boats, and its dates vary by boat: from 15, 18, 20 or 26 December to between 5 and 31 January. Sea conditions month by month are in the guide to the Phuket yacht season.

Where overnight boats leave from

Nineteen of the 45 leave from Ao Po Grand Marina on the north-east coast, nine from Royal Phuket Marina, eight from Boat Lagoon Marina, seven from Chalong Pier and two from Phuket Yacht Haven in the north. Each boat has a fixed departure pier: Technema 89 Say Yes and Ferretti 80 Sofia are at Chalong, Beluga 88 at Ao Po. Transfer times from the beaches are in the guide to Phuket marinas and piers.

What to confirm before you book

Put the same six things side by side for every quote:

The number of guests who may sleep on board, and who shares which cabin.
The hours: when you board and when you return.
Meals: which are in the price, who cooks, and what a meal plan costs if it is separate.
The route, the fuel it covers and any surcharge for a longer leg.
National park fees, which are paid on top on most boats.
What happens if the weather closes the route: another route, another date or a refund.

How this list was made

The list has 45 boats; the page of each one on the Horizon Cruises Phuket website showed a price in baht for two days and one night, or for a 24-hour or 32-hour charter with a night on board, on 30 September 2026. Each figure is copied from the boat’s page with its season, and the cabins and overnight guest limits from the specifications on the same page. The meals column records what the page states for overnight charters; where the page is silent, the table says so. 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.
