Yacht Charter
in Phuket

Horizon Cruises Phuket is a local charter service with 12 years of experience helping guests compare yacht charter Phuket options for private boats of every size around Phuket and the Andaman Sea. Whether you are planning a day charter, an overnight escape or a longer cruise, we match the yacht, route and services to your dates, group size and budget. All 18 routes with distances are in the boat tours guide; how the whole-boat format works — under private boat charter. If you are comparing operators, see how to choose a yacht charter company in Phuket. We run our own three yachts and take owners' yachts under management: yacht management in Phuket.

Yacht Charter Phuket: private trips

A private charter reserves the selected yacht for your group, giving you more privacy, flexibility and control over the itinerary than a shared excursion. You can choose departure times, preferred destinations and the pace of the trip within the yacht’s operating limits and the day’s marine conditions. The captain and professional crew manage navigation and safety while your group spends quality time on board, swims in turquoise waters, visits hidden coves or explores Phuket’s natural beauty.

Yacht types for charter in Phuket

Six types of boat, and the type follows your group rather than the other way round. Speedboats take four to twelve guests and reach the islands fastest. Motor yachts are the largest part of the fleet, thirty-seven boats for six to fifty guests. Power catamarans keep the deck level at anchor and carry up to sixty.

Sailing catamarans are the cheapest way to take a large group out. One sailing yacht runs multi-day itineraries only. Luxury yachts and superyachts are compared on their own pages.

How to choose the right Phuket yacht charter?

Start with three numbers: how many guests, day or overnight, and a budget band. Those three remove most of the fleet before any boat is discussed. Send them and you get back the boats that are free with a final figure — or read how the choice works on the company page.

Phuket yacht charter prices

Prices are per boat per day, in Thai baht, and final for the guest: from ฿21,000 for a speedboat to ฿377,000 and above for a superyacht. What moves them is season, route, guest count and duration. Full tables by boat and season are on the prices page.

What is included in a Phuket yacht charter package?

Every charter includes the captain and crew, fuel for the agreed route, passenger insurance, water and soft drinks, snorkelling gear, towels and a hotel transfer on full days. Lunch, alcohol and water toys depend on the boat. National park fees are always separate. The full three-layer breakdown is on the inclusions page.

Day charters, overnight trips and longer cruises

A day charter is ideal for one main island group with time for swimming, snorkeling and lunch. An overnight charter allows a slower itinerary, quieter evening anchorages and more time away from Phuket. Multi-day and weekly cruises can combine several areas of the Andaman Sea, depending on the yacht’s range and cabin capacity. We balance travel time with time at each destination so the route remains comfortable, realistic and capable of creating unforgettable experiences.

Yacht Charter Phuket routes and destinations

Nineteen destinations, from Coral Island as a half-day to Koh Lipe as a three-day trip. Which ones are convenient depends on the marina your boat leaves from. The full table with distances and formats is on the destinations page.

Weather and the best time for a Phuket yacht trip

Phuket has a tropical monsoon climate. November to April is generally drier, while May to October often brings more variable weather, stronger winds and larger waves, especially on the west coast. Conditions can still change at any time of year. Before departure, the operator and captain review the marine forecast and may recommend a safer route. Guests should keep their schedule flexible when weather affects the original plan.

Where do Phuket yacht trips begin?

There is no single yacht harbour in Phuket. Boats leave from Chalong Pier in the south, Ao Po Grand Marina in the north-east, and Boat Lagoon and Royal Phuket Marina on the east coast. Your departure point follows the boat and is confirmed at booking with a map pin.

Special occasions and private group trips

A private yacht can be suitable for family holidays, birthdays, proposals, anniversaries or corporate groups. Tell us the occasion, guest count and preferred atmosphere when requesting options. Catering, decorations, entertainment and special equipment depend on the yacht and require advance approval from the operator. We confirm what is permitted, what can be arranged and any additional cost before the booking is finalized.

Yacht rental in Phuket: licences, safety and onboard comfort

Every boat sails with a licensed captain; larger yachts add deckhands, a hostess and a charter manager. No licence or experience is required from guests. What the private format changes, and who is aboard with you, is set out on the private charter page.
