What happens if theres inclement weather ?
We may be able to control our boat, but we are always at the mercy of mother nature. During the “high season” (generally November to February) the weather is usually hot and sunny most days but even then storms or squalls can appear abruptly. Outside of those months it tends to be rainy, sometimes for 20 minutes a day, sometimes for days at a time. If the weather is looking really bad, we will reschedule any bookings free of charge.

We can also include extra meals and alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages at an additional fee.

How much does a private charter cost?
We currently own a 38ft sailing catamaran that can take up to 15 people out for a day trip at 8 people for overnights. Generally the cost is 30,000THB for a 3 hour sunset cruise, 35,000THB for a half day charter and 45,000THB for a full day trip. Overnight charters on our boat are 75,000THB for a day and half.
We also have access to over 50 other private yachts for charter. We have smaller 6 person speedboats that can do a full day trip for 28,000THB, we have 8 person luxury covered Longtail boats for 25,000THB for a day trip, and we have many larger 45ft+ sailing catamarans that start at around 50,000THB for a day trip and 45-50ft power catamarans that start in the range of 75-90,000THB for a day. We also have access to luxury motor yachts that start at around 100,000THB for a day and go up to 25,000USD for weekend.
Most of the larger yachts come with a full compliment of crew, water toys, slides, air conditioning and multiple cabins for relaxing.
Can you accommodate last minute bookings?
We ask that guests try to book as far ahead as possible. During low season (March to October) we can generally work with short notice, at least 24-28 hours. During high season we often have multiple groups out on the water and it can be very hard to find anything last minute. If you know you’re coming in the future, the best course of action is to book as far in advance as possible to reserve your trip.
What are the differences between yacht types?
We generally deal with 5 types of boats here in Phuket: Luxury Longtail boats, Speedboats and cabin cruisers, Sailing Catamarans, Power Catamarans and Motor yachts.
Our Luxury Longtail boats are very popular and the traditional that wooden boats that most people envision here. They have shade from the sun but no washroom or air conditioning. Great for short days exploring cliffs and locations close to shore.
Speedboats and cabin cruisers tend to be smaller and more spartan, great for small groups that want to cover a lot of ground during their trip. They are faster and not as large as the other boats, but not as luxurious as catamarans.
Our Sailing Catamarans are sailboats with duel hulls and lots of deck space and indoor space. These are great for larger groups and although they don’t move as fast as the other boats, a sailing catamaran in Phuket is a phenomenal experience. Alternatively our power catamaran feet tend to be larger and newer and offer more creature comforts. They move faster, but they use more fuel and are more expensive to charter.
Finally our Motor Yacht fleet consists of larger luxury yachts for those with discerning tastes. These may not have all the deck space that a catamaran offers but they are usually more luxurious and offer more amenities to guests. They also come at a higher price for fuel and overhead management.
Do all yachts have air conditioning?
No, not all yachts offer air conditioning, but most of the larger yachts 45ft + do offer air conditioning as standard..
Do you offer overnight or extended charters?
We do offer overnight and extended charters on certain yachts. The price can vary depending on what inclusions you want (premium food options, alcohol, masseuse on board, island or park fees, fuel surcharge)
If you are interested in an overnight or extended charter we will work with you to find the best boats and route for your trip.
