Phuket Rating editorsPublished: 30 September 2026Updated: 30 September 202610 min read

A private yacht for a birthday or a party in Phuket costs from ฿20,900 for a four-hour trip on a 42 ft sailing catamaran, from ฿95,000 for a day on Scallobs 65, a double-deck power catamaran with a resident DJ and a bar, and from ฿100,000 for a four-hour half day in high season on the 89 ft Technema 89 Say Yes, in the 2026/27 season. The table lists 16 named boats for 20 to 120 guests with their prices and what each carries for a party, taken from the boats’ own pages on 30 September 2026. Every price is for the whole boat with its crew; there are no other passengers.

All 16 boats are listed by Horizon Cruises Phuket, the company ranked first of 23 in the Phuket Rating yacht charter ranking with 92.4 of 100 under the published methodology. It charters the whole boat only and arranges a cake, decoration, a photographer and a DJ on request. Two of the 16 are yachts under the company’s management: Technema 89 Say Yes for up to 30 day guests and Ferretti 80 Sofia for 25; the third, Beluga 88 for 22, is not in the table. The other 14 are partner boats in its catalogue. Other companies, their fleets and their scores are in the full ranking.

Party boats in Phuket: prices for 2026/27

Prices are the lowest listed for each format. Where no season is shown, the price is the boat’s standard-season or all-year rate, or its rate outside the peak. † A day charter whose hours are not stated on the page. ‡ Plus a temporary route fuel surcharge on full-day routes, from ฿10,000. Fountaine Pajot 40 Coco and Nautitech 47 Pepper are sister boats of Tahaa and Senna at the same prices and are not counted separately. Beluga 88, the third yacht under the management of Horizon Cruises Phuket, takes 22 guests from ฿171,200 for four hours.

Which boat for how many guests

Start with the head count: a boat cannot take more guests than it is licensed for.

• Up to 20. Fountaine Pajot 42 Tahaa and Fountaine Pajot 40 Coco, sailing catamarans, from ฿20,900 for four hours with 15 guests in the price and ฿1,000 for each additional guest. Seascape 2, a 64 ft motor yacht with a sound system and a BBQ, from ฿94,000.
• 21 to 40. Ferretti 80 Sofia takes 25. Nautitech 47 Senna and Pepper take 30 each, as do The Origin 90, a 90 ft motor yacht with a floating pool and a slide, and Technema 89 Say Yes, with three decks. Satisfaction 55 takes 40 and has a Bluetooth sound system and a bar.
• 41 to 60. SPLO 74 CHOWA takes 45; Fortuna 55 and Siam Princess 70 take 50 each; Indigo 53 Super Mario takes 55; Scallobs 65 and Shangani 70 Ft take 60 each.
• 61 to 120. Vanora 170 takes 80, Pisces 85 takes 85 and Lobster 78 takes 120.

The listed price usually covers fewer guests than the limit. What a day costs for exactly 20 or 30 guests on each boat is worked out in yacht charter in Phuket for 20 to 30 people.

Music and DJ

Five boats are set up for a DJ. Scallobs 65 and Lobster 78 carry a resident DJ, included in the charter, with a Pioneer DJ system and a VOID sound system. Pisces 85 has a DJ sound system. Technema 89 Say Yes and Ferretti 80 Sofia carry a JBL PartyBox 300 and take a DJ with equipment on request. On those three boats a DJ and any extra sound are booked through the company in advance and paid before the charter. Fortuna 55 supplies a generator, for a fee, for a DJ or live musicians you bring; the performers bring their own equipment.

Other boats carry a sound system without DJ equipment: a Bluetooth sound system on Satisfaction 55 and Fortuna 55, an indoor and outdoor system on Siam Princess 70, a JBL PartyBox 300 on Indigo 53 Super Mario, a sound system on Seascape 2 and SPLO 74 CHOWA and a Bluetooth speaker on Shangani 70 Ft. Volume limits apply inside the marinas; at sea the music plays through the boat’s own system.

Drinks and food

There is no single rule for the whole fleet. Whether you may bring your own alcohol, and what is charged for it, depends on the boat and is confirmed before booking. The yacht pages show the range:

• Included. The Origin 90 includes Prosecco and local beer. A full day on Technema 89 Say Yes includes soft drinks, beer and Prosecco with a Thai lunch. Pisces 85 includes lunch and a drinks package with wine, beer and cocktails.
• A bar on board. Scallobs 65 and Lobster 78 have a bar with a bartender. Free-flow packages for groups of 20 or more start at ฿1,500 per person for three hours. Outside drinks carry a fee of ฿500 per bottle of wine, sparkling wine or spirits, beer is sold only from the bar, and outside food is ฿200 per guest with the BBQ grill and tableware included.
• Your own, no fee. Shangani 70 Ft allows your own alcohol with no corkage.

Several boats carry a BBQ grill: it is ฿1,200 on Fountaine Pajot 42 Tahaa and Nautitech 47 Senna and included on Seascape 2, Scallobs 65 and Lobster 78; Shangani 70 Ft serves a BBQ lunch on full days. On Indigo 53 Super Mario a BBQ is ฿200 per person for a minimum of 10. Several yacht pages state that alcohol is only for guests aged 20 and over.

A birthday on a yacht

Horizon Cruises Phuket describes its most-booked celebration format as a full day to the islands for 10 to 30 guests: lunch on board, a cake at anchor, the water toys out. It states that there is no surcharge for a celebration and that it arranges through its event partners:

• a cake, flowers and decoration, priced individually in advance;
• catering beyond the standard lunch: a set dinner, a buffet or canapés;
• a photographer, a musician or a DJ.

People you bring yourself, such as a photographer, count towards the boat’s licensed capacity like any guest. Everything is confirmed in writing with a price before the day.

Party formats

• Sunset. The shortest format: an evening run out of the marina. Satisfaction 55 lists a three-hour sunset charter from ฿39,000 in low season; Leopard 51 Aurora, which is not in the table, lists a half day with sunset, 14:00 to 19:00, from ฿49,900.
• Day party. A full day with the boat at anchor for most of it: swimming, the slide, lunch on board. The company’s party page names the Racha islands, Koh Maiton and Phang Nga Bay as the usual routes.
• Overnight. On boats with cabins the evening continues at anchor. Sleeping capacity is far lower than day capacity: Technema 89 Say Yes takes 30 by day and 8 overnight. Boats and prices are in overnight yacht charter in Phuket.

Rules on board

• Your own drinks: depends on the boat; confirmed before booking.
• Music: volume limits inside the marinas.
• DJ and extra sound: on the boats set up for it; booked in advance and paid before the charter.
• Damage deposit: a refundable deposit against damage, and what it covers, depends on the boat. The terms are sent before booking and are separate from the deposit that confirms the date.
• Age: guests under 18 come with a parent; guests without a parent on board must be 18 or over.

Dates and booking

Low season runs from May to October and high season from November to April; most boats price the Christmas and New Year peak separately, and the dates vary by boat. The company’s party page adds that New Year, Chinese New Year and Loy Krathong dates are booked early and cost more. Horizon Cruises Phuket confirms a date with a 50% deposit, with the balance paid on the day of the charter. Deposits and cancellation terms across companies are compared in how to book and pay for a Phuket yacht charter, and what a standard charter covers in what is included in a yacht charter.

How this list was made

The list has 16 boats that the Horizon Cruises Phuket website presents for party charters or that carry party equipment according to their own pages, as of 30 September 2026. Prices, capacity and equipment are copied from each boat’s page and from the company’s party charter page. 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.
