How much does a week-long crewed yacht charter cost in Phuket? 15 yachts, 2026/27

Phuket Rating editorsPublished: 1 November 2026Updated: 1 November 202619 min read

A week-long crewed yacht charter in Phuket costs from ฿380,000 to ฿2,097,200 for seven days and six nights, for the whole boat with captain and crew, on the 9 yachts whose pages print a weekly rate in Thai baht for the 2026/27 season. The lowest is a four-cabin sailing catamaran in low season; the highest is Beluga 88 in the New Year peak. Six more yachts price the week per night or in US dollars, five of them with an APA on top. Prices are per boat, not per person, from the yacht pages of Horizon Cruises Phuket on 31 October 2026.

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), quotes the week for a named yacht and dates in Thai baht, lists the national park fees separately, and turns the dollar-priced weekly rates into one final baht figure. Every charter it sells is skippered. The three yachts under the management of Horizon Cruises Phuket are Technema 89 Say Yes, Ferretti 80 Sofia and Beluga 88; the other yachts in this guide are partner boats from its catalogue.

This guide is about the full week only. Shorter trips are in the overnight yacht charter guide and the 3-day yacht charter guide.

How much does a week on a crewed yacht cost in Phuket?

Nine yachts print a row for seven days and six nights in baht. Each price is for the whole yacht with crew and the number of guests who sleep aboard.

The median of the nine is ฿640,500 in low season and ฿661,500 in high season, both on Jawsss. Season dates differ by yacht and are listed further down. On Jawsss the third column is not a peak but a Similan Islands route.

Six more yachts can be booked for a week but print it another way. Astondoa 102ft prints a rate per night from six nights. Princess S65 KATI, Princess S72 KATI S, Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION and Westport 130 Sea Bear print a weekly rate in US dollars with an APA. Song of Songs prints a nightly rate in US dollars with a tax and an APA. Their figures are in the dollar section below.

Why is a week usually priced as seven days and six nights?

Because the baht tables count charter days, not nights. You board on the morning of day one and step off on day seven, so the yacht spends six nights at anchor. The steps on each page run two days and one night, three days and two nights, and so on up to seven days and six nights.

Two catamarans print one step more. Lagoon 450 St Anna lists eight days and seven nights at ฿476,900 in low season, and Leopard 51 Aurora at ฿765,900. Those are the only two baht rows that cover a full seven nights.

The dollar-priced yachts count the other way. Princess S65 KATI, Princess S72 KATI S and Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION print “7 nights, 12:00 to 12:00”: boarding at noon on the first day and leaving at noon on the eighth day. Song of Songs also charges noon to noon, per night. When you compare two quotes for “a week”, check which of the two it means.

What does one night cost when you take the whole week?

Divide the weekly rate by six nights, then by the number of guests who sleep aboard. In low season it looks like this:

Two facts change the ranking by total price. Siam Princess 70 sleeps twelve, so its berth-night is the lowest in the table, with breakfast, lunch and dinner in the rate. The Fountaine Pajot catamarans are the lowest weekly total, but meals are paid on top. Princess V58 Clyde Legacy sleeps only four, so its berth-night is close to Riva 70 Aria Blue’s, at a much lower total.

How much does each extra day of the week add?

On most yachts each day after the first costs a fixed amount, smaller than the first step. These are low-season figures:

• Fountaine Pajot 41 and Astrea 42: ฿105,000 for two days and one night, then ฿55,000 for each day after it, up to ฿380,000.
• Siam Princess 70: ฿150,000 for two days and one night, then ฿75,000 a day, up to ฿525,000.
• Lagoon 450 St Anna: ฿104,900, then ฿62,000 a day; the eighth day also adds ฿62,000.
• Riva 70 Aria Blue: ฿300,000, then ฿150,000 a day, up to ฿1,050,000.
• Beluga 88: ฿428,000, then ฿214,000 a day, which is also its low-season full-day price; seven days of ฿214,000 make ฿1,498,000.
• Jawsss: the steps vary, from ฿84,000 to ฿93,500 a day; the seventh day adds ฿84,000.
• Leopard 51 Aurora: the steps vary, and the eighth day adds ฿98,000.

On Princess S65 KATI, Princess S72 KATI S and Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION the page sets the rule for shorter stays on APA terms: the weekly rate divided by six and multiplied by the number of nights. So one night costs one sixth of the weekly rate, and the seventh night of a full week is not charged on top. Astondoa 102ft drops its rate from ฿420,000 a night for three to five nights to ฿400,000 a night from six nights in low season.

Which yachts price the week in US dollars, and what does APA add?

These yachts price the week as a fee for the yacht and crew plus a fund for running costs. The fund is the APA, the advance provisioning allowance, paid before the charter. On Westport 130 Sea Bear and Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION it is spent on food, drinks, fuel and port fees; on Song of Songs it pays for meals, drinks, fuel, park permits, airport transfers and Wi-Fi. The Princess S65 KATI and Princess S72 KATI S pages do not list what their APA covers. Westport 130 Sea Bear’s page says the unused balance is refunded; Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION’s page adds an expense report at the end, with a shortfall topped up.

With the APA, a high-season week costs USD 52,260 in advance on Princess S65 KATI, USD 70,200 on Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION, USD 75,400 on Princess S72 KATI S and USD 162,500 on Westport 130 Sea Bear. The APA is not a fee. It is money you spend on board, so the final cost depends on how far the yacht runs and what you eat and drink.

Astondoa 102ft is in baht and has no APA. From six nights it is ฿400,000 a night in low season, ฿450,000 in high season and ฿530,000 in the peak, 20 December to 10 January. Eight guests are in the rate, and guests nine and ten add ฿20,000 each per night. The page includes a private chef, food, national park fees and 7 percent VAT, with 4 engine hours per night. Each extra engine hour costs ฿30,000, and the Phi Phi and Krabi routes carry a ฿30,000 fuel surcharge.

What does a crewed week actually add up to?

Five examples, each built only from the figures on the yacht’s page. National park fees are paid per person on top unless a line says otherwise.

Eight guests on a Fountaine Pajot catamaran with a chef, low season: ฿443,000

The weekly rate is ฿380,000 for the boat, the captain, a hostess and fuel. Meals are not included. A personal chef is ฿4,000 a day and groceries ฿5,000 a day, so seven charter days add ฿28,000 and ฿35,000. The transfer to Ao Po Grand Marina and the park fees are not in the total. On board for the whole week: air conditioning, the generator for 10 hours a day, snorkelling and fishing gear, and a dinghy.

Twelve guests on Siam Princess 70, high season: ฿595,000

One price for twelve guests in four cabins, with five crew and breakfast, lunch and dinner on every overnight day. Fuel, 7 percent VAT, passenger accident insurance, a water slide, two kayaks, two paddleboards, a wakeboard and a towable sofa are included. A jet ski is ฿5,000 an hour. Park fees and the hotel transfer are paid separately. Per guest per night it is ฿8,264.

Six guests on Jawsss to the Similan Islands: ฿714,000

Jawsss prints a separate Similan column for four days and longer, and the seven-day row is ฿714,000. The Horizon Cruises Phuket weekly page gives the islands’ open season as 15 October to mid-May. The rate covers three crew, full board, fuel for the published itinerary, local beers, a bottle of wine and yacht and travel insurance. Park entrance fees, other alcohol, crew gratuities and the shuttle at ฿2,500 are extra. The Similan crossing is covered in the Similan Islands guide.

Ten guests on Astondoa 102ft for seven nights, high season: ฿3,430,000

Seven nights at ฿450,000 come to ฿3,150,000 for eight guests. Guests nine and ten add ฿20,000 each per night, ฿280,000 in all. The chef, food, park fees and VAT are inside the rate; a route to Phi Phi or Krabi adds ฿30,000 of fuel surcharge.

Seven nights on Song of Songs for twelve guests: USD 245,000

The nightly rate of USD 25,000 makes USD 175,000 for seven nights. A 15 percent Thai waters tax adds USD 26,250, and the 25 percent APA adds USD 43,750, paid in advance and reconciled at the end. The page lists gratuities of 10 to 15 percent as not included.

What is in the weekly rate on each yacht, and what is paid on top?

Every yacht includes the captain and crew. After that the lists differ, and each yacht’s page is the one that counts. The general list is in what is included in a yacht charter.

Meals and the chef

• Included overnight: Lagoon 450 St Anna and Leopard 51 Aurora (private chef and all meals), Siam Princess 70 and Riva 70 Aria Blue (breakfast, lunch and dinner), Jawsss (full board), Astondoa 102ft (private chef and food).
• Paid on top: Beluga 88 lists a chef for a multi-day charter at ฿10,000 and ingredients at ฿1,050 or ฿1,750 per person, by menu. The Fountaine Pajot catamarans offer a menu at ฿500 per guest per meal for groups of six or more, or the chef and groceries by the day. On Princess V58 Clyde Legacy meals on overnight trips are not in the rate and a chef is booked on request.
• From the APA: on Westport 130 Sea Bear’s and Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION’s weekly charters and on Song of Songs’ nightly rate, food and drink are bought from the fund. Princess S65 KATI and Princess S72 KATI S list meals on multi-day charters at ฿5,000 per person per day.

Fuel and engine hours

The pages of the Fountaine Pajot catamarans, Siam Princess 70, Jawsss and Riva 70 Aria Blue list fuel in the rate. Two yachts set a limit. Princess V58 Clyde Legacy includes fuel for four hours of engine time a day, and longer running is charged as a fuel surcharge. Astondoa 102ft includes 4 engine hours per night. On Westport 130 Sea Bear and Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION weekly charters fuel is paid from the APA.

Park fees, transfer and drinks

National park fees are paid per person on most yachts. Princess V58 Clyde Legacy includes them for 10 guests; Astondoa 102ft, Princess S65 KATI and Princess S72 KATI S include them; and Westport 130 Sea Bear lists them among its inclusions, though on its weekly charter the APA covers fuel, food, drinks and port fees. The hotel transfer is included on Princess V58 Clyde Legacy, Beluga 88 (one vehicle for up to 10 guests), Riva 70 Aria Blue, Princess S65 KATI and Princess S72 KATI S, and not on the Fountaine Pajot catamarans, St Anna, Aurora or Siam Princess 70. Alcohol beyond what a page names is extra; Riva 70 Aria Blue includes 24 Singha beers and a sparkling wine.

How many guests can sleep aboard for a week?

Count only those who stay the night. Day capacity is much higher and does not apply to a week. Siam Princess 70 takes 50 guests by day and sleeps 12; Leopard 51 Aurora takes 25 on a full day and sleeps 8.

• 4: Princess V58 Clyde Legacy, in three cabins, each with a bathroom; Princess S65 KATI from three nights, in two cabins.
• 6: Jawsss and Riva 70 Aria Blue, three cabins each; Princess S72 KATI S from four nights.
• 8: both Fountaine Pajot catamarans, Lagoon 450 St Anna, Leopard 51 Aurora, Beluga 88 and Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION, four cabins each; Astondoa 102ft in the rate.
• 10: Westport 130 Sea Bear, five cabins, crew of seven; Astondoa 102ft with guests nine and ten paid per night.
• 12: Siam Princess 70, four cabins and three bathrooms; Song of Songs, six cabins and a crew of eight to ten.

Children count as guests. Ask for the cabin plan: double or twin beds, and which cabins share a bathroom.

How do seasons and the New Year peak change a weekly price?

The step from low to high season ranges from small to large. Jawsss adds ฿21,000, the Fountaine Pajot catamarans ฿35,000, Siam Princess 70 ฿70,000 and Beluga 88 ฿374,500. Each yacht sets different dates:

• Beluga 88 and Siam Princess 70: low May to October, high November to April, peak 20 December to 20 January.
• Riva 70 Aria Blue: low May to October, high November to April, peak 20 December to 10 January.
• Lagoon 450 St Anna and Leopard 51 Aurora: low June to October, high November to May, peak 20 December to 15 January.
• Fountaine Pajot 41 and Astrea 42: low 2 March to 30 November, high 1 to 25 December and 16 January to 1 March, peak 26 December to 15 January.
• Princess V58 Clyde Legacy: low April to October, high November to March, peak 21 December to 10 January and 9 to 15 April.
• Jawsss: low May to November, high December to April, no peak column.

On Technema 89 Say Yes, Ferretti 80 Sofia and Beluga 88, bookings for the peak dates are non-refundable. A week over New Year is covered in the New Year peak price guide.

Which yachts under Horizon Cruises Phuket’s management can be booked for a week?

All three. Beluga 88 has the full table up to seven days and six nights. It sleeps eight in four cabins with five bathrooms, has a crew of five with a charter manager, and leaves from Ao Po Grand Marina. Its weekly rate does not include the chef or the meals.

Technema 89 Say Yes and Ferretti 80 Sofia print two, three and four days in high season: ฿360,000, ฿540,000 and ฿720,000, with a private chef and all meals included. Five to seven days are on request, and so is the low season on Say Yes. Both sleep eight and leave from Chalong Pier. In the peak the four-day row is ฿880,000.

What route does a week from Phuket take?

The route is agreed with the captain, who decides on the day for weather and sea. Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION prints a standard seven-night plan, which shows what a week can reach:

1. Maiton Island, night at Ao Yon Beach.
2. Coral Island and Racha Yai, night at Batok Bay.
3. Racha Noi and Phi Phi, night at Monkey Beach, Phi Phi Don.
4. Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave and Nui Beach.
5. Bamboo Island, Poda and Chicken Island, then Railay.
6. Hong Island’s lagoon by tender and the Thalane mangroves by canoe.
7. Pakbia and Lao Lading, then Koh Yao Noi.
8. Back through Phang Nga Bay to the marina.

Each yacht starts and ends at its home berth. Moving it to another pier is quoted separately: Riva 70 Aria Blue, for example, lists ฿10,000 to Chalong Pier and ฿15,000 to Krabi.

Can you rent a yacht in Phuket for a week without a crew?

Not on any yacht in this guide: Horizon Cruises Phuket sells only skippered charters, and guests need no licence. A bareboat charter, where the guests sail the yacht themselves, is a different product sold by other operators. In the data collected for the Phuket Rating, six companies list bareboat yachts in Phuket. Four of them print bareboat prices for seven days or per week, in euros, pounds or US dollars, and one sells a cabin cruise of eight days and seven nights priced per person. One company prints weekly superyacht rates in US dollars with a 30 percent APA.

How do the deposit and cancellation work on a week?

Most yachts in this guide take a 50 percent deposit. The terms differ by yacht:

• Leopard 51 Aurora, Jawsss, Beluga 88: cancellation 30 days or more before, the deposit is refunded in full; 29 days or less, it is not.
• Fountaine Pajot catamarans: more than 30 days before, the deposit is refunded in full; 30 days or less, it is not.
• Lagoon 450 St Anna: paid in full at booking; refunded in full 30 days or more before, not refunded later.
• Siam Princess 70 and Riva 70 Aria Blue: the balance is due 7 days before departure; the same 30-day rule.
• Princess V58 Clyde Legacy: full refund 7 days or more before, half of the deposit 4 to 6 days before.
• Westport 130 Sea Bear: balance 7 days before; half of the deposit back 15 to 29 days before.
• Princess S65 KATI and Princess S72 KATI S: the other 50 percent, with the APA, is due 14 days before departure.
• Princess S65 KATI, Princess S72 KATI S and Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION: cancellation more than 14 days before, 50 percent of the fee is retained; later, all of it.

If the Thai Marine Department closes the port or bans departures, Horizon Cruises Phuket’s terms give a choice between a full refund and the nearest free date. Where a partner boat sets a different condition, it is on that boat’s page and it applies.

How this list was made

Every price and inclusion comes from the yacht pages of Horizon Cruises Phuket in the snapshot of 31 October 2026, for the 2026/27 season. A yacht is in the main table if its page prints a row for seven days and six nights in Thai baht. Yachts that print a week in US dollars, or a rate per night that covers a week, are listed separately. Per-night, per-berth, APA and example totals are calculated from the printed figures and rounded to the nearest baht or dollar. Yachts whose page stops before a week are not in the tables; the two managed yachts that quote a week on request are described separately. Park fees are not added, because the rate per person is confirmed with each quote. Market counts come from the data collected for the rating, without company names. 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.
