Yacht Charter from Boat Lagoon Marina

Boat Lagoon Marina is the oldest marina on Phuket, built at Koh Kaew on the east coast, next door to Royal Phuket Marina — the two share an approach channel. It is an enclosed lagoon with a hotel, cafes and shops built around it, 180 berths on the water and 160 places ashore. Seventeen boats in our partner catalogue leave from here, mostly mid-sized motor yachts and fast day boats. One thing separates Boat Lagoon from the other three departure points we use: the channel into the lagoon changes with the tide, so the departure hour is tied to the water and the captain names it.

Getting to Boat Lagoon

The address is 22/1 Moo 2, Thepkrasattri Rd, Kohkaew, Muang, Phuket 83000.

The marina describes its position as being between the airport and Phuket Town, and the drive matches that. From the airport it is about half an hour. From Patong, also about half an hour. From Phuket Town it is the shortest run of any of the four points we work with — around twenty minutes. Allow more time at the usual rush hours on Thepkrasattri Road.

What is on site

Boat Lagoon is built as a small complex rather than a quay. The nH Boat Lagoon Phuket hotel is on the grounds, along with Dean & DeLuca, the SuwanHong restaurant and other places to eat, so a group that arrives early has somewhere to sit.

The marina office is open 08:00–17:00, every day.

Departure time and the tide

This is the part worth reading twice.

Boats enter and leave Boat Lagoon through a channel, and the depth of that channel changes with the tide. For your charter it means the departure hour may be set by the water rather than by your preference, and the captain is the one who sets it. You receive a confirmed time before the day of the trip.

In practice this rarely changes a trip; it changes when it starts. If a fixed early start matters to you — a flight later the same day, a booked lunch somewhere — say so when you enquire, and we will check it against the boat before you commit.

Boats in the partner catalogue that leave from here

Seventeen boats in the partner catalogue are based at Boat Lagoon. The range runs from small fast boats to 78-foot flybridge yachts:

• Limpopo Axopar 28 — 28 ft, up to 4 guests
• Axopar 37 LILA — 37 ft, up to 6 guests
• Sacs Strider 15 — 36 ft, up to 12 guests
• De Antonio D50 — 50 ft, 12 guests for the day, sleeps 4
• Zambezia Leopard 53 — 53 ft catamaran, 30 guests for the day, sleeps 8
• Shangani 70 Ft — 70 ft, 60 guests for the day, sleeps 12
• Princess 78 Maritimus — 78 ft, 20 guests for the day, sleeps 8

Our three yachts — Say Yes, Sofia and Beluga 88 — leave from other points on the island.

Prices are on each boat's page, not here: they change with the season and the length of the trip, and a number repeated on this page would go stale.

Where boats go from Boat Lagoon

Boat Lagoon opens onto the same water as its neighbour Royal Phuket Marina, so the directions are the same: Phang Nga Bay to the north-east — James Bond Island, Hong, Panak, the Koh Yao islands — and Phi Phi to the south-east as a full-day run.

The catalogue here leans towards fast day boats, which suits guests who want to cover distance and be back the same evening rather than sleep aboard.

Before you arrive

Bring your passport — the captain files a passenger list before departure.

Be at the marina fifteen minutes before the departure time — and come with the time you were given, not the one you assumed. On this marina that time is worth confirming the day before.

Questions

What is Boat Lagoon Marina?

The first marina built on Phuket, at Koh Kaew on the east coast. It is an enclosed lagoon with 180 berths on the water and 160 places ashore, plus a hotel, cafes and restaurants on the grounds.

How do I get to Boat Lagoon?

Drive to 22/1 Moo 2, Thepkrasattri Rd, Kohkaew. It is about half an hour from the airport, about half an hour from Patong, and around twenty minutes from Phuket Town — the shortest drive of the four departure points we use.

Does the tide affect my departure time?

It can. The channel into the lagoon changes depth with the tide, so the captain sets the departure hour with the water in mind. You get a confirmed time before the day of the trip.
