Horizon Cruises Phuket: the Company Behind the Charter
The best yacht charter company in Phuket
We started in 2013 with a single Silverton 45. Today we run three yachts and can match a boat to any day on the water.

Thirteen years on one island
Horizon Cruises Phuket has operated here for thirteen years, with around 2,400 charters completed. The office is in Chalong. That length of time in one place matters in a charter market for a practical reason: the people who answer your message know the boats physically, know the crews by name, and know which anchorage is wrong in a north wind.
A company that has been trading for a season cannot know those things, and a large international platform does not need to. The team works in English, Russian and Thai.

Our three yachts, about eighty we work with
We run three yachts ourselves: Technema 89 Say Yes and Ferretti 80 Sofia from Chalong Pier, and Beluga 88 from Ao Po Grand Marina. Beyond those three we work with about eighty boats across the island, from a long-tail boat at ฿23,900 to superyachts.
The distinction matters when something changes on the day of a charter: on our yachts the decision is ours and it is immediate. On a partner boat we are the ones who make the call on your behalf, which is still one step shorter than booking through a platform based in another time zone.

We celebrated our friend's birthday with a group of friends on a yacht in Phuket – we had only the most wonderful memories! )))
Everything went wonderfully: a beautiful yacht, a great atmosphere, and, most importantly, excellent service. It was a pleasure interacting with the team – everything was organized professionally, attentively, and with great care for the guests.

Safety on the water
What applies on every charter.
- Licensed captainOn every boat. He confirms the route and stops in the morning from the forecast, and the final call is always his.
- Licensed capacityWe take as many guests as the vessel is licensed for. Children count the same as adults.
- Life jacketsAdult and child sizes on every charter; the crew fits the children's ones.
- Safety briefingThe crew meets you at the pier and briefs you before departure.
- Passenger insuranceIncluded in the price of every charter.
- WeatherIf the Thai Marine Department closes the port, you choose: a full refund or a new date.
What you actually deal with
- One manager from the first message to the pier, in English or Russian.
- A written quote with one final figure in Thai baht and an explicit list of what is not in it; a fuel fee, where the boat's page lists one, is already in that figure, and nothing is added afterwards.
- A named boat with a link to its page, its licensed capacity and its own price table, rather than a category and a promise.
- The departure marina named at booking with a map pin, because Phuket has no single yacht harbour and the pier depends on where your boat is berthed. And the option to view any boat in the catalogue in person, free, before you pay a deposit.
Terms, stated before you ask
- On most boats a 50% deposit confirms a booking and the balance is paid before departure; some boats are paid in full at booking, and each yacht's page gives the exact terms.
- On most boats, if you cancel thirty days or more before the date, what you paid is refunded in full; twenty-nine days or less before, it is not.
- Payment by Visa, Mastercard and UnionPay, bank transfer to the company account, USDT and other cryptocurrency, in baht, dollars or roubles, with an online payment link sent alongside the confirmation.
- On weather: if the Thai Marine Department prohibits departure you choose between a full refund and a new date.
- If departure is permitted but the route you booked is not workable, the captain offers an alternative, and the route is always the captain's call.

How to check a charter company in Phuket
Four questions separate an operator from a reseller, and they work on us as well as on anyone else. Ask for the name of the specific boat, not a category. Ask for its licensed capacity and compare it with your group.
Ask for one final figure in baht with the exclusions written out. Ask which marina it leaves from — a company that works with real boats knows, because it knows where they are berthed. If the answers arrive slowly or vaguely, that is the answer. We are open around the clock and reply on WhatsApp within 10 minutes.
The largest boats we work with are on the superyacht charter page; the format itself is explained under private boat charter.
