Which format suits a corporate yacht charter in Phuket?

Four formats cover most corporate boat trips. They differ in duration, in the vessel and in how much of the day is spent at anchor, so settle the format first and the yacht second.

A team day on the water

A full day of eight to nine hours, the classic island day trip to one or two islands: swimming, snorkelling at a reef with its marine life, lunch aboard, the water toys out where the yacht carries them. It works because there is nowhere else to go, so the group is together in a way an office day cannot manage. From Chalong Pier the day runs south to Coral Island, the Racha Islands or the Phi Phi Islands; from Ao Po Grand Marina it goes into Phang Nga Bay, to James Bond Island and Hong Island, or across to the Krabi side. A motor yacht or a power catamaran with deck space and shade suits this format best; the amenities of each one are on its page.

A sunset dinner

Two hours in the early evening in the bays close to the departure marina, with dinner served aboard. It is short enough to attach to a conference day and long enough to count as the evening, and it suits ten to 25 guests on one yacht. Sunset dinners are not offered on peak-season dates; those dates differ by boat and are shown on each yacht's page.

A meeting or presentation aboard

A half or full day where the boat is the venue: an air-conditioned saloon for the working part, open decks for the rest. The larger motor yachts seat a working group at the saloon table, and each yacht's page shows the layout. Wi-Fi is listed where it exists and is not guaranteed at sea, so bring the presentation on a laptop rather than relying on a link.

Incentive groups and team building across two or three boats

For a group above what one yacht is licensed to carry, we run two or three boats in convoy: the same route, the same anchorages, one programme. Team-building formats that work at sea are the simple ones: a snorkelling stop where experienced crews show the reef, a swim at anchor, lunch served on every boat at the same time, and a beach stop in the afternoon. Above the largest single vessel it is a question of how many boats, not whether.

How many guests can a yacht take?

Capacity is a licensed figure per vessel, not a preference, and it is printed on every yacht's page. Boats Horizon Cruises Phuket offers for corporate groups, from a dozen up to the largest single yacht in the catalogue, with the starting price from each yacht's page:

Across the catalogue: thirty-eight motor yachts take from six guests up to the largest superyacht, twenty power catamarans from six up to the Pisces in the table, with the Leopard 51 Aurora in between, twenty sailing catamarans up to 120 on Lobster 78, and nine speedboats from four to twelve. Which boats take ten, twenty and thirty guests is worked through by name in the guide to the best Phuket yachts for groups.

What does a corporate yacht charter cost?

The same rates as any private charter: there is no corporate premium, no corporate price list, and a corporate yacht rental is quoted like a private one. The price is per boat, not per guest: the rate covers the group up to the headcount shown on each yacht's page, and many boats include a set number of guests in the base rate and charge per extra guest. Say Yes, for example, includes twelve guests and charges ฿2,000 for each extra guest up to its licensed 30. Of our three yachts, Say Yes and Ferretti 80 Sofia start at ฿100,000 and Beluga 88 at ฿214,000; low-season dates are cheaper, and peak dates differ by boat and are shown on each yacht's page. Catering beyond the standard lunch, a private chef, decoration, a DJ or live music and paid water toys are booked through us and paid in advance; what is possible and what it costs depend on the yacht and are settled before you fix the date. The full picture by boat and season is on the yacht charter prices page.

What is included on every boat?

On every charter: a licensed captain and professional crew (there is no bareboat, and nobody in your group needs a licence), passenger insurance, water and soft drinks, snorkelling gear and towels, plus fuel for the agreed route except where a yacht's page lists a fuel fee. Lunch, alcohol, water toys and the hotel transfer depend on the yacht and are listed on its page; the general list is on what's included. National park fees are paid separately where the route enters a park, per person on arrival, unless the yacht's page lists them in the rate, and we confirm the current figure with your quote; crew gratuities are always separate.

How does a corporate day at sea run?

A typical full day from Chalong Pier or Ao Po Grand Marina, with the times moving to suit the group and the boat:

What does not move is the early start. It is the difference between a bay to yourselves and a bay shared with fifty other people. At reefs the captain picks up a mooring buoy rather than anchoring on coral.

For the organiser: quote, invoice and payment

• One contact from the first message to the pier, in English or Russian. Horizon Cruises Phuket has run private charters from Phuket since 2013 under tour business licence 34/02188 from the Department of Tourism.
• A written quote with one final figure in Thai baht and an explicit list of what is not in it.
• A contract for the charter, and a company invoice on request: we need the full name and company details of the paying entity. Invoices are issued in Thai baht, US dollars or euros.
• A viewing of any yacht before you commit, at no charge. Bring the person who signs.
• Deposit and balance depend on the boat: most boats take a 50% deposit with the balance before departure, some are paid in full at booking, and late cancellation is non-refundable. The exact terms are on each yacht's page and in the booking terms.
• Payment by Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay, bank transfer or crypto, in Thai baht, US dollars or roubles; an online payment link on request.

What should the organiser prepare?

Five things, and we reply on WhatsApp within ten minutes at any hour of the day:

• The date, and whether it can move by a day. Flexibility widens the choice of boats considerably in high season.
• The number of guests. The licensed figure decides the shortlist before anything else does.
• The format from the four above, or a mix: a working morning and an island adventure in the afternoon is common.
• Dietary requirements for lunch: vegetarian, halal, allergies. Arranged in advance, not on the morning.
• Branding and set-up needs: a banner, a screen, a projector. Tell us what you bring and we say what fits where.

How does a two-yacht convoy work?

Same departure marina, same hour, one itinerary with the same route and anchorages. Each yacht carries a separate captain and crew; one charter manager coordinates both and keeps the boats within sight, so the group moves between them by tender at anchor. Lunch is served on both at the same time. The price is two boat rates, not a group rate, and the split of guests follows each boat's licensed capacity. It is the standard way to take 40 to 60 people to sea from Phuket without a shared tour boat.

Which yacht in Phuket should a corporate group take?

For thirty guests, Say Yes: the largest day capacity of the three, a saloon, the widest toy list and a Chalong departure for the southern islands. For a group of around twenty with Phang Nga Bay in mind, the Beluga from Ao Po, the closer marina for the limestone bay and the Krabi side. For a faster, sportier day, Sofia. For forty, a sailing catamaran; for fifty and more, a power catamaran charter in Phuket or the largest motor yachts in the catalogue; for a board-level group that wants cabins and a full crew, the luxury yacht charter in Phuket page lists the larger motor yachts. Music and after-dark formats are on the party yacht charter page.

Send the date, the number of guests and the format on WhatsApp; we reply with the boats that are free and final prices. Check the holiday calendar before you fix a date.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a corporate yacht charter in Phuket cost?

The same per-boat rate as any private charter with Horizon Cruises Phuket; there is no corporate price list. The figure depends on the boat, the season and the route, and the table above gives the starting price of each yacht. Extras such as catering, a DJ or decoration are quoted per boat and paid in advance, and the written quote lists everything that is and is not included.

Is the price per boat or per guest?

Per boat. Your company pays one rate for the yacht with its crew, and each yacht's page states the headcount that rate covers and, where they apply, the charge for each extra guest and any fuel fee. A shared tour sells seats; a corporate charter sells the boat, so the group decides how to split the figure.

Can we have catering, a DJ or live music on board?

Yes, on the boats that allow it. Onboard catering beyond the standard lunch, a private chef, a DJ, live music, decoration and extra water toys are booked through us and paid in advance; what is possible and what it costs depend on the yacht and are confirmed before you book, never on the morning. Tell us what you plan and we say which boats fit.

What deposit do you take for a company booking?

It depends on the boat. Most take a deposit when you book and the balance before departure; some are paid in full up front; late cancellation is non-refundable on every boat. The schedule is written into the quote and the contract, so the finance team sees the dates before anything is paid.

Can you invoice our company?

Yes. A company invoice is issued on request once we have the full legal name and company details of the paying entity, and the charter is covered by a contract. Payment can go by card, bank transfer or crypto, and we send an online payment link if the company prefers to pay that way.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

The captain decides the route on the morning, not the organiser and not the office. If the Thai Marine Department closes the port, the company chooses between a full refund and a new date. If the port is open but the planned islands are not workable, the captain offers a sheltered alternative and the charter goes ahead; a change of route is not refunded.

Can a corporate group take two boats?

Yes; that is how groups above one boat's licensed capacity go to sea. Two or three yachts leave the same marina at the same hour, follow one route and anchor within sight of each other, with one charter manager coordinating them and a tender moving guests between the boats. You pay each boat's rate; there is no separate group rate.

When is the best time for a corporate charter in Phuket?

November to April is the high season on the Andaman Sea and the busiest period for boats, so send the date early and say whether it is flexible. The rest of the year is cheaper and charters still run; the captain chooses the sheltered side of an island on the day. Peak dates around the turn of the year are priced separately on each yacht's page.
