Family days on a private yacht charter in Phuket

Family days

Slides, sea pools and short crossings for children

Families ask us two questions before anything else: will the children be safe, and will they be bored. The answer to both comes down to the yacht and the route.

The Andaman Eye 65 is the family boat. It has an inflatable slide from the upper deck and a floating sea pool that clips to the stern, which gives smaller children an enclosed place to swim. The swim platform is low enough to climb back aboard without help, and the crew watches the water the whole time.

For the route, Coral and Racha is the one we suggest. The first anchorage is twenty minutes from the marina, the water is the clearest near Phuket, and you are back by mid afternoon before anyone gets tired. Bigger family groups who want to stay out overnight usually take the Eye 102, which has four cabins and the same sea pool.

What we arrange

  • Life jackets in children's sizes
  • Water slide and floating sea pool
  • Short crossings to calm, shallow anchorages
  • Lunch included on 5 hour charters
  • Snorkelling gear, kayak and paddleboard
  • Shade on deck through the middle of the day
  • Cake or birthday setup on request

Family days: common questions

Is a yacht charter safe for young children?

Yes. Life jackets are provided in children's sizes, the crew supervises swimming throughout, and the floating sea pool gives small children an enclosed area to swim in.

Which route is best for a family?

Coral and Racha Islands. The crossings are short, the water is calm and clear, and five hours is enough without anyone getting tired.

Does the price change with the number of children?

No. You charter the whole yacht, so the price is the same whatever the mix of adults and children, up to the yacht's capacity.

Can we stay overnight with the family?

Yes. The Eye 65 sleeps six in three cabins and the Eye 102 sleeps twelve in four.
