Key highlights

• A sailing catamaran is the cheapest way to take a large group to sea around Phuket: a 53 ft Silkline from the Chalong pier starts at ฿27,820 for a low-season morning with ten guests in the rate and carries forty.
• A power catamaran costs more and goes further: Gin 37 cruises at 24 knots, and her nine-hour day to Phi Phi with Maiton is ฿51,900 for up to six guests.
• Every rate is per boat, not per guest: it covers the group up to the headcount shown on each yacht's page, and most boats add a fixed charge for each extra guest, ฿1,000 on Coco and ฿1,500 on Leopard 51 Aurora.
• Peak dates differ by boat, from 27 December to 2 January on Gin 37 and Whisky 48 to 15 December to 31 January on the Chalong sailing boats, and several boats do not sell half days in those weeks.
• Horizon Cruises Phuket holds 5.0 from 33 reviews on Google.

Catamaran charter Phuket price

The catamaran charter Phuket price with Horizon Cruises Phuket runs from ฿25,900 for a sailing catamaran half day and ฿35,900 for a power catamaran half day to ฿250,000 for a full day on Pisces 85, an 85 ft power catamaran built in 2026 with thirty guests in the rate and room for eighty-five. The cheapest full day is ฿34,900: eight hours on Coco to Racha Yai, Maiton or the Khai islands with fifteen in the rate. Boat rentals in Phuket, catamaran rentals, boat hire and yacht charter all describe the same product here, a private boat charter with a licensed captain and crew, priced for the whole boat in Thai baht. The hull sets the band: a sailing hull is light, slow and mostly older, so the rate buys deck space and a crew; a power hull buys engines and speed, and most of that category sits between ฿45,000 and ฿79,000 for a full day. Against a private speedboat, from ฿33,900 for a full day with six guests, a catamaran is the cheaper yacht charter in Phuket once the group passes ten. The yacht charter Phuket prices page compares all six boat types, and the guide to how much it costs to rent a yacht in Phuket explains what sits behind every quote.

Sailing catamaran yacht charter in Phuket, Thailand: twenty boats at seven knots

The twenty boats on the sailing catamaran charter in Phuket page run from forty to seventy-eight feet at seven to eight knots, under sail when the wind allows and under engine when it does not. Most leave from Chalong in the south: Coco and her sister Tahaa for twenty guests, Nautitech 47 Senna and Pepper for thirty, Ella for forty, and Lobster 78, a double-deck party yacht with a DJ and a bar for 120 guests, from ฿125,000 for forty. From Ao Po Grand Marina sail Satisfaction 55, launched in 2024 with party lighting, Pina Colada 40, Bali 41, Leopard 47 Myra, Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42, Fountaine Pajot 41 and Lagoon 56 OO7; eight of the twenty have guest cabins. Private sailing on two hulls is the usual answer for a birthday or a company day of twenty to forty friends or family, because the rate divided by a full group is the best price per head in the catalogue; the guide to Phuket yachts for groups of 10, 20 and 30 guests sets them against the power boats.

Power catamaran rentals in Phuket: twenty boats for six to eighty-five guests

The twenty boats on the power catamaran charter in Phuket page keep the deck level at anchor and move at eight to twenty-four knots, most at twelve to eighteen, the speed boat of the two types. Gin 37 takes six at the top speed of the group and Whisky 48 up to forty with a water slide and a floating pool, both from the south-east coast of Phuket Island. From Chalong: Fortuna 55 for fifty with a slide and a clear kayak; Leopard 51 Aurora, which sleeps eight; F1, built in carbon, from ฿39,900 for eight guests; Indigo 53 Super Mario for fifty-five; and Scallobs 65, a double-deck party boat for sixty with a resident DJ, from ฿95,000 for twenty. Prada 50, launched in 2025, sails from Ao Po from ฿45,000 for ten. The Leopards at Boat Lagoon carry ten in the rate with cabins and include the transfer and lunch; Shangani 70 from the same marina takes sixty by day and sleeps twelve. Pisces 85 from Ao Po is the largest, with a crew of eleven and a private chef. The guide to a sailing catamaran or power catamaran in Phuket sets the two types side by side.

Catamaran charter Phuket: ten boats with the price for the whole boat

Half day, full day, sunset cruise or overnight charters: what the hours change

A short format of four or five hours costs less than a full day, but not by half: on Lagoon 450 St Anna the eight-hour day to Racha Yai or Maiton with Coral Island is ฿45,900 and the long day with sunset to Phi Phi and Maiton, 09:00 to 19:00, ฿53,900, both with ten in the rate. A sunset cruise is the shortest trip in Phuket: Satisfaction 55 sells a three-hour sunset tour from Ao Po, St Anna an afternoon with sunset at ฿32,900, and the two-hour evening on any boat is quoted per boat and per date on the sunset cruise in Phuket page. Day charters and overnight charters are both priced per boat, but the night is priced for the cabins: Pina Colada 40 is the cheapest night afloat at ฿100,000 for two days and one night with six guests in three cabins; St Anna sleeps eight at ฿104,900, Aurora at ฿177,900 and OO7 at ฿270,000, with a chef and meals on board. A multi-day itinerary is never the day rate multiplied by the days; the boats available in Phuket for day and overnight trips are on the overnight yacht charter in Phuket page.

What moves the price of a private yacht in Phuket: season, guests in the rate, route and hours

Four things move the same boat's figure. Season: low season runs May to October and carries the starting rates, high season November to April costs more, and each boat sets separate peak dates around New Year, shown on its page; Pisces 85 moves from the table figure to ฿290,000 and ฿350,000, and Aurora's short format is not sold in the peak at all. Guests: Whisky 48 prices the five hours in bands, ฿40,900 for twenty-one to thirty guests and more again above thirty, while most boats charge a flat figure per extra guest, ฿1,250 on St Anna and ฿2,000 on Myra and OO7. Route, because distance sets the fuel: Gin 37's nine-hour day is ฿48,900 to Racha Yai, Coral Island or Maiton and a step up to Phi Phi with Bamboo Island or to Phang Nga Bay, and the Boat Lagoon Leopards add a published fuel fee to Phang Nga Bay, Krabi and Phi Phi. Hours: an extra hour is ฿3,600 on the Chalong sailing boats, ฿6,000 on Gin, Whisky and Aurora and ฿25,000 on Pisces 85.

Worked examples by budget: what catamaran rentals in Phuket buy

Under ฿30,000: a sailing morning from Chalong

Four hours under sail with a beach landing and a swim stop at Banana Beach on Coral Island or off Maiton. Coco and Tahaa take fifteen guests in the rate; Nautitech 47 Pepper and Senna at ฿28,900 carry the same fifteen with room for thirty and an air-conditioned saloon; Ella's low-season morning covers ten. Soft drinks, fruit, snorkels, towels and a paddle board come with the boat, fishing gear can be hired, you may bring food and drinks, and full payment is due at booking.

฿30,000 to ฿50,000: a full day under sail, or five hours on engines

This band buys the whole of a sailing day or half of a power one. Coco's eight-hour day is the cheapest full day in the catalogue and Pepper's is ฿36,900. On engines Gin 37 and Whisky 48 sell five hours at the table figure, F1 a morning or afternoon to Racha Yai for eight guests, Fortuna 55 her four-hour morning for twenty, Prada 50 five hours to Koh Yao and Naka for 10 guests, and Aurora her morning for twelve.

Over ฿50,000: Phi Phi, Phang Nga Bay, the big boats and the cabins

From here the long routes and the large decks open. Astrea 42 does Phang Nga Bay with Hong Island and James Bond Island as an eight-hour day from Ao Po at ฿50,900 for twelve; Myra's day in the bay is ฿59,000 for ten with transfers, park fees and lunch in the rate, and Prada 50's ฿60,000. Lagoon 56 OO7 is ฿135,000 for ten with transfers, park fees, lunch and beer or Prosecco included. Pisces 85 covers thirty guests with a crew of eleven, a gourmet lunch, a drinks package, return transfers and the Phang Nga Bay park fees in the rate. The Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION, a hybrid-electric sailing yacht on two hulls from Royal Phuket Marina, is chartered from three days at ฿571,800 and sits with the luxury yachts on the luxury yacht charter in Phuket page.

Itinerary: where a catamaran day trip from Phuket goes on the Andaman Sea, from Phi Phi Island and Phang Nga Bay to Krabi

Speed decides the itinerary. At seven to eight knots the day trip under sail from Chalong means Coral Island, Maiton or the Racha islands, with time to snorkel off the beach at each; from Ao Po it means a sightseeing day in Phang Nga Bay with its limestone cliffs, the lagoon at Koh Hong, James Bond Island, the Khai and Naka islands and the Koh Yao islands. The Phi Phi Islands are not a sailing day, with one exception, St Anna's long day; Myra, Astrea and OO7 reach Phi Phi on two-day trips, and Myra also publishes ten hours to Hong Island and the Krabi lagoons at ฿69,000. A private boat tour in Phuket on engines goes further: Gin 37, F1, Aurora, Sea Explorer, Indigo 53 Super Mario and Prada 50 publish Phi Phi as a full day, F1 with a cap of fifteen guests on that route. National park fees, at Phi Phi, in Ao Phang Nga or at the landing on Banana Beach, are paid separately per person on arrival unless the yacht's page lists them in the rate; the parks revise their rates from time to time, so we confirm the current figure with your quote. The day tours in detail: private yacht charter from Phuket to the Phi Phi Islands and private yacht charter from Phuket to Phang Nga Bay.

What a catamaran yacht charter price includes, and what you pay on the day

Every boat in the catalogue includes the captain and crew, fuel for the agreed route except where the yacht's page states a fuel fee, passenger insurance, water and soft drinks, snorkelling gear, life jackets and towels, with VAT at 7% inside every rate. Lunch, alcohol, water toys and the hotel transfer depend on the boat, and the yacht's page says which. Aurora serves a Thai buffet lunch on full days and nothing on short ones; Gin and Whisky sell a set lunch at ฿500 per guest with a minimum of ten sets; Prada's lunch is à la carte at a restaurant. Myra, OO7, the Boat Lagoon Leopards and Pisces 85 include the hotel transfer; Coco, Pepper, St Anna, Astrea, Aurora, Fortuna, Prada, Gin and Whisky do not. Whisky's slide, floating pool, clear kayak and SUP boards are free; on Coco a Seabob is ฿10,800. Paid on the day: park fees, guests above the number in the rate, extra hours and lunch on short charters; crew gratuities are at your discretion. The full list is on the what is included page.

Private catamaran charter in Phuket: which companies are reliable and how much does it cost?

Horizon Cruises Phuket, licensed under TAT 34/02188 and working from Chalong since 2013, charters private catamarans at the figures on this page, from Coco's morning at the first-paragraph rate to ฿79,900 for a full day on Leopard 51 Aurora with twelve in the rate, all per boat with captain and crew. A reliable company in Thailand can be recognised without naming anyone. It publishes a TAT licence number, which you can check in the licence search on the Department of Tourism website, and its legal entity appears in the DBD DataWarehouse register; the entity behind this site, Marine Cruise Andaman Co., Ltd., was registered on 7 October 2013. It names the boat, its licensed capacity for your format and its departure marina rather than a category and a stock photo. It sends a written quote in Thai baht for a named boat and date, with the inclusions and the park fees listed, before any deposit. Its passenger insurance covers the guests, not only the hull, and its licensed captain comes with the boat, so nobody in your party needs a licence. Its deposit receipt states the boat, the date, the hours and the cancellation terms: most boats take a 50% deposit with the balance before departure; some boats are paid in full at booking; late cancellation is non-refundable; the exact terms are on each yacht's page and the terms page. It lets you view the boat before you pay. Horizon Cruises Phuket has completed around 2,400 charters in thirteen years and replies within ten minutes; the licence and office address are on the about page, and the full checklist is in the guide on how to choose a yacht charter company in Phuket.

Frequently asked questions

What's the price of a catamaran?

In Phuket a private catamaran is priced for the whole boat with crew, and with Horizon Cruises Phuket the starting figures are the two short-format rates in the first paragraph, one under sail and one on engines. A full day starts at the Coco figure in the key numbers, and the largest boat, Pisces 85, at a quarter of a million baht for thirty guests.

How many guests does the catamaran price cover?

The number on the card: fifteen on Coco, Tahaa, Senna and Pepper, ten on St Anna, Ella, Myra and OO7, twelve on Aurora, twenty on Whisky, Fortuna, Satisfaction, Scallobs and Shangani, thirty on Pisces 85. Each guest above it is charged at the card's figure up to the licensed capacity, so twenty-five guests on Pepper pay the base rate plus ten extras.

Can I charter a catamaran overnight in Phuket?

Yes, on the boats with guest cabins: Pina Colada, Myra and the Lagoon 42 sleep six in three cabins; St Anna, Astrea, OO7, the Bali 41 and Aurora sleep eight in four; Shangani 70 twelve. Overnight guests are limited by the cabins, not the day capacity, a chef cooks on board, and the night at anchor is in Phang Nga Bay, at Phi Phi, Racha or Krabi.

Can a catamaran go from Phuket to Phi Phi in one day?

On engines, yes: Gin 37, F1, Leopard 51 Aurora, Sea Explorer, Indigo 53 Super Mario and Prada 50 publish Phi Phi as a full day of eight or nine hours, with Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon and Bamboo Island on the programme. Under sail at seven knots the run is too long, except St Anna's long day; Myra, Astrea and OO7 go with a night at anchor.

Sailing or power catamaran: which one should I choose?

Sailing when the budget for a large group matters, when the day is Coral Island, Racha or Phang Nga Bay, and when the group wants the sails up and the engine off at anchor. Power when the day includes Phi Phi, when the group is above twenty and wants a slide and a floating pool, or when the crossing should take an hour rather than three. Both keep the deck level at anchor, unlike a sailing yacht with one hull.

Is a catamaran a good choice with children or for guests who get seasick?

At anchor it is the steadiest platform in the catalogue: two hulls barely react when the group moves to one side, the deck is wide and flat, and a child-size life jacket is on board for every small guest. The Chalong sailing boats take children from four years, Pisces 85 children of all ages. For a long open-water passage a motor yacht rides a swell more comfortably.

Is a catamaran good for a party or a sunset cruise?

It is the party yacht of the catalogue. Lobster 78 and Scallobs 65 are double-deck party boats with a DJ and a bar from Chalong, Satisfaction 55 launched with party lighting and a covered social deck at Ao Po, and Whisky 48 and Fortuna 55 bring a water slide for forty or fifty guests. For the evening, Satisfaction's sunset tour and the sunset afternoons on St Anna and Aurora are the published formats.

Where can I charter a private yacht in Phuket?

From four places with Horizon Cruises Phuket. Chalong Pier in the south is the base for most of the sailing boats and for F1, Fortuna, Aurora, the Indigos and Scallobs; the captain handles passenger registration there. Ao Po Grand Marina on the north-east coast, closest to the airport, is home to Satisfaction, Pina Colada, Myra, Astrea, OO7, Prada 50 and Pisces 85. Boat Lagoon holds the Leopards and Shangani 70; Gin 37 and Whisky 48 leave from the south-east coast.

When are the best catamaran prices available, and what changes in the peak?

From May to October, when every card carries its low-season or all-year rate and the captain keeps the day in sheltered water on windy mornings. November to April is the Phuket sailing season on the Andaman Sea at the higher rate. In the peak weeks around New Year the rate rises again, short formats are not sold on Aurora, St Anna and Fortuna, Gin and Whisky add a surcharge per trip, and the Chalong sailing boats take non-refundable bookings.

How much does a catamaran for 40 guests cost in Phuket?

Satisfaction 55 and Ella under sail at the base rate plus the per-guest charge above twenty and ten; Whisky 48 in her top band, ฿60,900 for a nine-hour day; Scallobs 65 at ฿115,000 for eight hours with twenty-one to forty guests; Lobster 78 at the forty-guest rate; Pisces 85 at ฿275,000 in low season for thirty-one to forty. Send the exact head count, because the per-guest charges differ.
