Whether you are looking for a day trip to nearby islands or a week-long voyage, we provide the perfect vessel for your maritime adventure.

Luxury Catamarans and Bespoke Services

Our fleet in Phuket features modern catamarans from world-renowned builders like Lagoon and Fountaine Pajot, ranging from 40 to over 70 feet. When you rent a catamaran with us, you can choose between a bareboat charter for experienced sailors or a fully crewed experience. A crewed charter includes a professional skipper and a private chef who prepares authentic Thai cuisine and international delicacies. Each vessel is equipped with high-end amenities such as air conditioning, spacious sun decks, and water toys including paddleboards, snorkeling gear, and sometimes jet skis, ensuring your comfort while exploring the Andaman Sea.

Unforgettable Sailing Routes from Phuket

Departing from premier marinas like Ao Po Grand Marina or Yacht Haven Marina, your itinerary can be as diverse as the landscape itself. Sail east into the majestic Phang Nga Bay to witness the iconic limestone karsts and the famous James Bond Island. Alternatively, head south to the Phi Phi Islands for world-class snorkeling at Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon. For those seeking tranquility, the Racha Islands offer crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches away from the crowds. Every route is customizable, allowing you to find secluded anchorages and hidden coves that are only accessible by private boat.

Pricing and Seamless Booking Process

The cost to rent a catamaran in Phuket varies based on the season, the size of the vessel, and the level of service required. During the peak season, prices typically range from €1,200 per day for a mid-sized catamaran to over €5,000 per day for a luxury power cat. These rates generally include insurance and local taxes, while fuel and provisioning are often handled via an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA). Our booking process is designed for your convenience; simply select your dates, choose your preferred yacht, and our dedicated concierge team will handle all the logistics and special requests.

Best Time to Sail and Travel Tips

The best time to visit Phuket for sailing is during the dry season, from November to April, when the northeast monsoon brings calm seas and blue skies. This period offers the most reliable winds and optimal visibility for diving and snorkeling. If you wish to extend your luxury experience, we can easily combine your catamaran charter with a stay in one of our exclusive private villas in areas like Surin or Bang Tao Beach. We recommend booking at least six months in advance for the Christmas and New Year period, as availability for the most popular catamarans fills up quickly.

FAQ

What is the average cost to rent a catamaran in Phuket?

Prices vary by season and yacht specifications. Generally, you can expect to pay from €1,200 per day for a standard 40-foot catamaran. Luxury, high-performance, or larger crewed catamarans can exceed €4,500 per day. Weekly rates often provide better value and range from €7,000 to €30,000 depending on the model and inclusions.

Do I need a license to rent a catamaran on a bareboat basis?

Yes, to rent a catamaran without a skipper, you must provide a valid international sailing certificate (such as ICC or RYA Day Skipper) and a detailed sailing resume. If you do not have these qualifications, we highly recommend hiring a local professional skipper who can navigate the local tides and secret spots safely.

Which marina in Phuket is best for starting a charter?

Phuket has several excellent marinas. Ao Po Grand Marina is popular for its 24-hour access and proximity to Phang Nga Bay. Yacht Haven Marina, located in the north, is ideal for those heading toward the Similan Islands. Both offer high-standard facilities, including provisioning shops, restaurants, and secure parking for guests.

What is included when I rent a catamaran through your platform?

Standard charters usually include the yacht rental, VAT, and essential safety equipment. For crewed charters, the price includes the skipper and host/chef. Extra costs typically involve fuel, mooring fees outside the home marina, and food and beverages. We provide a clear breakdown of all costs during the booking process to ensure total transparency.
