Published: 17 September 2026Updated: 17 September 202611 min read

Phuket yacht charter prices listed on company websites on 17 September 2026 start at ฿16,000 a day for a private speedboat, run from ฿26,000 to ฿65,000 a day for a sailing catamaran depending on season, ฿39,115 to ฿135,000 for a power catamaran and ฿33,900 to ฿290,000 for a motor yacht. Superyachts are quoted from USD 10,000 a day, bareboat sailing yachts from about GBP 1,950 or EUR 3,900 a week in low season, and a seat on a shared full-day cruise costs ฿4,000 to ฿4,400. Every figure below is a listed price for a named boat, per boat unless stated, from the operator’s own page on that date.

Price range by boat type

The ranges are bounded by real listings, not averages. The lower bounds for catamarans and motor yachts are category starting prices at Horizon Cruises Phuket, which lists speedboats from ฿21,000, sailing catamarans from ฿26,000, power catamarans from ฿39,115 and motor yachts from ฿33,900 per boat per day.

Speedboats: ฿16,000 to ฿40,700 a day

The 5 Star Marine figure is a day rate with no route named, the Boat and Beyond figure covers a ten-hour Phi Phi itinerary, and Simba Sea Trips gives a “from” rate for eight hours. On the same Phi Phi route Boat and Beyond lists a luxury long tail boat at ฿21,900 for up to four guests, maximum eight.

Sailing catamarans: ฿26,000 to ฿65,000 a day

The same boat is often listed at three or four prices across the year, so the season column matters most here. Faraway Yachting states on its homepage that private day charters start from around ฿29,900.

Power catamarans: ฿39,115 to ฿135,000 a day

Duration is part of the price: five hours to Koh Yao and Naka at Yacht Charters Co., eight hours to Maithon and Coral Island as a basic charter at Faraway Yachting, eight hours for up to 20 guests in low season on Tiger Marine’s Shangani.

Motor yachts: ฿33,900 to ฿290,000 a day

The Princess S65 appears on two sites at the same ฿240,000 low-season rate; Asiamarine also shows ฿290,000 for high season. The Technema 89 Say Yes is one of three yachts under Horizon Cruises Phuket’s management (company price list, 17 Sep 2026). AIM Charters prices REAL 1 in US dollars, based on four passengers.

Superyachts: from USD 10,000 a day

Superyacht listings switch to US dollars and often to weekly terms. Simpson Yacht Charter shows “from” prices in baht on its Phuket page, Astondoa from ฿663,200 and the Sanlorenzo SL118 Octave from ฿4,073,900, period not stated. Boat Lagoon Yachting lists Octave at USD 192,500 to 210,000 a week plus a 30 percent APA, the advance provisioning allowance that pays for fuel, food and berthing during the charter. Faraway Yachting’s homepage puts Mia Kai at USD 10,000 or more per day.

Bareboat and by-the-cabin: per week, in foreign currency

The Moorings notes that marina fees are not charged at Ao Po Grand Marina for its yachts and that its sailing yachts come with a full tank of fuel. Dream Yacht Charter’s cabin price is per person, with mandatory services not included.

Join-in seats: ฿4,000 to ฿4,400 per person

Phuket Sail Tours lists its Phi Phi early-morning day trip at ฿4,400 per person with hotel transfers, park fees, breakfast and lunch included. Ombre Yacht sells its full-day cruise from Chalong Pier by zone: a shared seat at ฿4,000, or a private sun lounge (zone A) at ฿18,000 for four guests, up to six, plus ฿3,000 per extra guest.

What moves the price

Season

Low season runs May to October, high season November to April, and peak covers Christmas and New Year, though windows differ: Aquamarine’s top band for Amadeus runs from 18 December to the end of February. On one boat the spread is real: Bali Catspace Siva at ฿35,000 low, ฿45,000 high and ฿65,000 peak; Princess S65 at ฿240,000 low and ฿290,000 high (Asiamarine); a Moorings bareboat week at USD 5,749 low and USD 26,999 high. Month-by-month conditions are in the season guide.

Route and fuel

Fuel for the booked route is normally included, and distance sets the rate. Boat and Beyond shows this on one boat class: its luxury long tail is ฿9,900 for a half day to Kai Island, ฿18,900 for James Bond Island, ฿19,900 for Hong Island and ฿21,900 for Phi Phi. Tiger Marine lists a fuel surcharge among exclusions, Blue Voyage Thailand includes it on the Lagoon 421, and Faraway Yachting relocates from Chalong Pier to another pier only on request and at a surcharge. See the routes guide and the marinas and piers guide.

Guest count

A listed rate includes a set number of guests: four on Ombre’s zone A with ฿3,000 per extra guest up to six, eight on Amadeus, four on REAL 1, ten on the Lagoon 421, up to 20 on Shangani. Boat and Beyond lists its long tail for up to four (maximum eight) and its speedboat for up to six (maximum 15). Above the included number expect a per-person supplement; above the legal maximum, a bigger boat.

Duration

A half day is not half price. Bali Catspace Siva is ฿25,000 for a half day against ฿35,000 for a low-season full day; Velasco 43F ฿150,000 against ฿180,000; REAL 1 USD 1,051 for five hours against USD 1,502 for eight; Blue Lagoon USD 1,000 for a morning against USD 1,500 for a full day. The half day sits at two thirds to five sixths of the full-day figure.

What is usually included and what is extra

Crewed day charters tend to include the boat, captain and crew, fuel for the route, passenger insurance, drinking water, soft drinks and snorkelling gear; Star Sailing Club’s FAQ adds towels, a SUP and a kayak. Transfers, welcome drinks and lunch are included on some boats (Tiger Marine’s Shangani, Hartt Voyages) and charged on others: Asiamarine lists a Thai lunch at ฿1,500 per person as an extra on the Princess S65.

Usually extra: national park fees, alcohol, water toys, a private chef and crew gratuities. Park fees are paid in cash per person; the Department of National Parks’ schedule effective 7 June 2022 sets Ao Phang Nga at ฿300 per foreign adult and ฿150 per child, and the Phi Phi marine islands carry a higher special rate covered in the routes guide. VAT is 7 percent through 30 September 2027: Asiamarine lists it among the Princess S65 inclusions, other operators add it or are not registered. Card payments can carry a surcharge, 5 percent at Hartt Voyages and 4.5 percent for Visa and Mastercard at AIM Charters. The full checklist is in what is included in a yacht charter.

Prices in baht vs foreign currency, and why it matters

Thai operators pay crew, fuel and pier fees in baht, so a baht price for a named boat is a fixed figure. A price in dollars, euros or pounds moves with the exchange rate between the day you compare and the day you pay, and a currency toggle on a website converts the display without fixing the amount. Horizon Cruises Phuket states that every price on its site is per boat per day in baht (65 of 66 boats); Sunsail, The Moorings, Elite Charters, Dream Yacht Charter, AIM Charters and Blue Voyage Thailand list in pounds, dollars or euros.

Compare like for like: the same named boat, route, duration, guest count, season and inclusions. A starting price with no duration, such as Tequila at ฿29,900 on the Once Yachting fleet page, needs a written quote for your date and hours before it can be set beside an eight-hour rate. Sourcing is described on the methodology page, the company rating records which sites publish in baht, and how to choose a yacht charter company in Phuket covers the wider questions.
