Score is the sum of eight criteria (max 100). Google shows the Maps rating and review count. TAT licence is "yes" only when the number is published on the company's site. THB prices: all, some or no boats priced in baht on the site. Managed boats are boats the company runs itself, not an agency catalogue.
These companies are in the directory, but either no Google Maps listing could be confirmed in the current snapshot or the company falls outside the scoring scope, so the two Google criteria cannot be scored.
In this rating the best company is the one with the highest total score on the published methodology. Horizon Cruises Phuket ranks first by total score, 92.6 of 100, followed by Faraway Yachting (92.0) and Tiger Marine Charter (91.8). The score is the sum of eight published criteria: Google Maps rating and review count, a published TAT licence, baht prices per boat, boats under the company's own management, years on the market, support languages and booking transparency. Every company's score breakdown is open on its profile.
Out of 100 points: Google rating (20), number of Google reviews (15), TAT licence published on the site (15), baht price on every boat page (15), boats under own management (10), years on the market (10), support languages (5), and published inclusions, deposit and cancellation terms (10). Anything a company does not publish scores zero. Methodology version 1.0 is published in full.
No. Each of the 24 companies has a reviews page with its Google Maps counts (snapshot of 10 October 2026) and links to the original Google and Tripadvisor listings. The two Google metrics provide 35 of the 100 points.
In the Phuket Rating price index for October 2026 (81 boats with baht prices, snapshot of 11 October), the median full day for the whole boat with crew is ฿84,000: ฿46,900 for a sailing catamaran, ฿77,400 for a power catamaran and ฿129,000 for a motor yacht. The cheapest full day starts at ฿33,900 and the median half day is ฿63,800. National park fees are extra. Every boat with its prices is in the Phuket yacht charter price list.
No. No company can pay for a place or a score, the site does not book yachts and takes no fees from companies. Every fact on a profile comes from the company website or Google Maps with a source link and a check date.
Google Maps numbers are refreshed about once a month and the snapshot date is shown on this page (currently 10 October 2026). Company facts are re-checked at least quarterly and on request. Criteria and weights change only with a new methodology version and date.
Email phuketyachtguide@gmail.com with a link to the page on the company website that confirms the fact. Listing and corrections are free and the score follows the same methodology. To be listed a company must be based in Phuket, run or arrange yacht or boat charters, and have its own website and a Google Maps listing.
