RACHA ISLAND YACHT CHARTER ITINERARY
The Racha Islands, Koh Racha Yai and Koh Racha Noi, sit south of Phuket and are known for clear turquoise water, white sand, and coral reefs that create strong memories for snorkelers and divers alike while staying close to shore. This route is a great fit if you want reef time without long travel, plus a calmer pace than many island hopping days.
On a Racha Islands yacht charter, your crew picks the best bays on the day for swimming, snorkeling, comfort, and sea conditions. Most trips include at least one calm bay for a relaxed swim and floating time, plus one stop with stronger coral for snorkeling. Racha Yai is more developed with resorts and well known beaches. Racha Noi is wilder and quieter. Many full day charters can include both, depending on conditions and your yacht type.
You can book this as a full day private boat charter from Phuket or as an overnight yacht charter. Full day duration is 8 to 10 hours. Overnight duration is 24 hours. Minimum full day pricing starts at 45,000 THB. Minimum overnight pricing starts at 75,000 THB. Final pricing depends on yacht type, schedule, guest count, season, and route.
Capacity for most full day trips starts at 10 guests, with a maximum of 15. Additional guests are 2,500 THB per person. For overnight, capacity is 6 guests in cabins, plus 2 outside.
Your charter includes at least one captain and crew member, drinks and snacks, snorkel gear, inflatable toys, fishing gear, and two SUP boards. Thai lunch is included for day trips. Overnight trips also include dinner and a light breakfast, plus 12 beers and an additional bottle of wine.
