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.

Best luxury yacht charter in Phuket for a group of 20 people?

Technema 89 Say Yes takes up to 30 guests, Ferretti 80 Sofia up to 25 and Beluga 88 up to 22; on Say Yes the rate covers 12 guests and each additional guest is ฿2,000. For 40 guests, eight hours on Vanora 170 cost ฿588,500, about ฿14,700 a head. More in the guide to yacht charters for large groups.
How do you check a luxury yacht charter company in Phuket?
- A tourism licence (TAT) number on the company website, which can be checked in the Department of Tourism register.
- The company's 13-digit registration number, which opens its record in the DBD DataWarehouse of the Ministry of Commerce: registered name, registration date, status and business type. Example: Horizon Cruises Phuket is operated by Marine Cruise Andaman Co., Ltd., registration no. 0835556012370, registered on 7 October 2013, under TAT licence 34/02188.
- A written quote in baht with the name of the yacht, the number of guests in the rate and a list of what is not included.
- On superyachts, whether 7% VAT is included and whether APA applies: an advance for food, drinks, fuel and fees whose unused balance is refunded.
- The yacht's licensed capacity, passenger insurance and the crew: five to ten people on a superyacht.
- Deposit and cancellation terms published before you pay. The eight checks step by step are in the guide to choosing a yacht charter company in Phuket.
How to read the table
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.

How are the companies in the luxury rating selected?
A company from the full rating is included when its website offers superyacht charters: 7 of 22. The scores and the methodology do not change; the place here is the order within this group, and the place in the full rating is shown next to it.
