How much does it cost to rent a yacht in Phuket?
Whole-boat pricing explained, with the extras worth budgeting for
Quick answer
Renting a private yacht in Phuket costs from ฿59,000 for five hours on a 55 ft catamaran, ฿79,000 on a 55 ft motor yacht, and ฿390,000 to ฿1,235,000 per day for a superyacht. Prices cover the whole boat, crew, fuel and VAT.
Whole-boat pricing
Private charters in Phuket are priced for the boat, not the seat. That makes the headline number look high and the per-head number look low. Forty guests sharing the Satis 55 for five hours pay less each than most shared speedboat tickets to the same islands.
What is included in our prices
Captain and crew, fuel for the planned route, snorkelling equipment, kayak and paddleboard, soft drinks, ice and fresh fruit, lunch on charters of five hours or longer, towels, insurance, marina fees and 7% VAT.
Extras worth budgeting for
National park entry fees at Phi Phi, the Similans and parts of Phang Nga and Krabi, paid on the day. Taxi transfers to the marina. Catering beyond lunch, décor or a photographer if you want them. Jet ski fuel on the Eye 102.
How to get more for the same budget
Pick the route before the yacht. If you only have five hours, Coral and Racha gives you more time in the water than a rushed Phi Phi. Travel in the green season if your dates are flexible. And match the boat to the group: a catamaran for numbers, a motor yacht for speed.

Common questions
Is it cheaper to share a boat tour?
Per person for a small group, yes. For groups of ten or more, a private catamaran is often similar per head and the day is entirely yours.
Do I need to tip the crew?
Tipping is not included and is at your discretion. Most guests leave something if the day has gone well.
Are prices lower in the green season?
Often, yes. Rates from May to October are frequently lower than in high season.
