Party Yacht Charter in Phuket
A party yacht charter in Phuket is the whole boat for your own group for the day or the evening — no other passengers, no shared deck, no schedule but yours. Our catalogue runs from a 42-foot sailing catamaran at ฿20,900 up to a 170-foot motor yacht, with boats that take twenty guests and boats that take a hundred and twenty. What separates a party boat from an ordinary day charter is what it carries: a sound system loud enough to hear over the water, a slide off the top deck, a bar, a BBQ, and on a few of them a DJ booth. This page is for a group of friends — a birthday on a yacht, a bachelor or bachelorette party, a reunion, a sunset party after a day at the villa. Weddings have their own page, and so do company events.
Which boat for how many guests
Start with the head count, because it rules out more boats than any other question. Capacity below is guests on a day trip. The rate is the starting price as shown on the yacht card for the 2026/27 season: the cheapest format and the smallest group on each boat, so a sunset or half-day run on some of them. The full-day rate for your head count is on the card.
| Boat | Type | Length | Guests, day | From | For the party |

Up to twenty guests. The two sailing catamarans, Fountaine Pajot 42 Tahaa and its sister 40 Coco, are the entry to a boat party in Phuket: a wide shaded deck, a BBQ, a seabob, and a pace that suits a birthday lunch more than a dance floor. For a small group that wants a motor yacht instead, Seascape 2 takes twenty with a sound system and a BBQ.
Twenty to forty. Nautitech 47 Senna and Pepper carry thirty, The Origin 90 carries thirty on ninety feet of deck with a slide, Sea Explorer thirty on a power catamaran with a sound system and a slide, and Satisfaction 55 at forty is the first boat with a bar and a sound system together.
Forty to sixty. This is the usual size of a bachelor or bachelorette party that has grown past one table at a restaurant. Siam Princess 70 takes fifty, Fortuna 55 fifty with a slide and a floating pool, Indigo 53 Super Mario fifty-five and its sister Mario's Brother fifty, SPLO 74 Chowa forty-five, and Scallobs 65 and Shangani 70 Ft sixty each.
Sixty to a hundred and twenty. Three boats cover this range. Lobster 78 is the largest party boat in the catalogue at a hundred and twenty guests, with the fullest party kit on board. Pisces 85 takes eighty-five with a sound system and a DJ. Vanora 170, a hundred and seventy feet, takes eighty with a bar and karaoke.
Three of the boats above we run ourselves — Technema 89 Say Yes, Ferretti 80 Sofia and Beluga 88. The rest are boats in the partner catalogue, and they are quoted, confirmed and run through us exactly the same way.
What is on board for a party
There is no standard party package on Phuket. Every boat carries its own kit, and the card for each yacht lists it item by item, with a price beside anything that is not included. Four things are worth checking before you choose:
Sound. A sound system is standard on Satisfaction 55, Siam Princess 70, Seascape 2, Scallobs 65, Shangani 70 Ft, SPLO 74 Chowa, Lobster 78 and Pisces 85. On a sailing catamaran the sound is quieter by design — a cockpit speaker rather than a deck system.
A DJ booth. Five boats are set up for a DJ: Scallobs 65, Lobster 78, Pisces 85, and our own Say Yes and Sofia. The DJ is booked through us and paid before the charter.
The slide and the water toys. The slide off the upper deck is what most groups remember from a yacht party, and it is on the majority of the boats above. Seabobs, jet skis, SUPs, kayaks and snorkelling gear vary by boat: some items are included in the rate and some are charged separately, and the exact list with prices is on each yacht's page — check it before you plan the day around a particular toy.
Food and the bar. A BBQ on the aft deck is the common format. A separate bar is on Satisfaction 55, Scallobs 65, Shangani 70 Ft, SPLO 74 Chowa, Lobster 78 and Vanora 170. Shangani 70 Ft is the one boat on this list with a jacuzzi, and Vanora 170 the one with karaoke.
If you are choosing by type rather than by boat, the catalogue is split into sailing catamarans, power catamarans, motor yachts and superyachts.
Party formats
The sunset party. The shortest format and the easiest to fill: two hours out of the marina in the evening, music on, the island going gold behind you, back before dinner. Several boats quote this separately as a sunset charter — the sunset cruise page has the format in detail.
The day party. A full day with the music on and the engine off for most of it: swimming, the slide, snorkelling, lunch aboard. The Racha islands are the usual choice for clear water, Maiton for a shorter run and a quieter anchorage, and Phang Nga Bay for the limestone. The captain plans the anchorages so the boat is stationary while the party is at its loudest, not under way.
The overnight party. On the boats with cabins the evening does not end at the marina gate: dinner at anchor, the deck to yourselves after dark, breakfast somewhere with nobody else in the bay. Capacity for sleeping is far lower than capacity for the day — see overnight charters for how the night format works.
What a party charter costs
Rates start at ฿20,900 for a sailing catamaran and rise with size, deck space and what the boat carries. The figure you see on each card is the starting rate for the 2026/27 season; the final number depends on the date, the route and the length of the charter, and you get it in Thai baht before anything is confirmed. On several boats the starting rate covers a set number of guests — fifteen on the sailing catamarans, twenty on Shangani 70 Ft, forty on Lobster 78 — and each guest above that is charged per head or moves the boat to the next price tier; the card for each yacht shows the exact steps. Full tables by boat and by season are on the prices page, and what is included lists what the rate covers on every charter: captain and crew, fuel for the agreed route, passenger insurance and snorkelling gear.
Two things move the price more than anything else. The season: low season runs May to October, high season November to April, and the peak from 20 December to 20 January is quoted separately. And the date itself — New Year, Chinese New Year and Loy Krathong go early and cost more, which is why the holiday dates page exists.
Extras — a DJ, a particular water toy, a cake, decorations — are quoted on top and paid before the charter.
Rules on board
Five things guests ask before they book. None of them has a single answer that covers the whole catalogue, and we would rather say so than promise something the boat cannot do.
- Your own drinks. Whether you may bring your own alcohol, and what is charged for it, depends on the boat. The manager confirms the rule for the yacht you have chosen before you book.
- Music. Volume limits apply inside the marinas. Once the boat is out, the party runs on the yacht's own sound system.
- A DJ and extra sound. Booked through us and paid in advance, on the boats that are set up for it.
- The damage deposit. A refundable deposit against damage, and what it covers, depends on the boat. We send you the terms for your yacht before booking — this is separate from the payment deposit that confirms the date.
- Age. Guests under eighteen are welcome with a parent; without one, eighteen and over.
How to book
Send us the date, the number of guests and the kind of party — a birthday, a bachelor or bachelorette party, a reunion, a sunset run. We come back with the boats free on that date, what each one carries, and the full amount in Thai baht. We reply within the hour, day or night.
Viewing before booking is free: any yacht in the catalogue, at the marina, before you pay anything. The date is confirmed with a 50% deposit and the balance is paid on the day of the charter. Visa, Mastercard and UnionPay, in USD, RUB, THB or USDT, by online payment link.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a party yacht in Phuket cost?
From ฿20,900 for a 42-foot sailing catamaran — a half-day run with fifteen guests in the rate — up to ฿250,000 and above for the largest party boats. The rate is for the whole boat, not per guest, and includes the captain and crew and fuel for the agreed route; the full-day figure for your head count is on each yacht's card.
How many people fit on a party boat?
From twenty on the smallest catamaran to a hundred and twenty on Lobster 78, the largest party boat in the catalogue. Most birthday and bachelor parties land between forty and sixty, where the choice of boats is widest.
Can we bring our own alcohol?
It depends on the boat: some allow it, some charge for it, some do not. The manager confirms the rule for your yacht before you book, so tell us at the enquiry stage if you are planning to bring your own.
Can we play music as loud as we like?
At sea, yes — that is what the sound system is for. Inside the marinas volume limits apply, so the party effectively starts once you are out of the harbour.
Can we bring a DJ?
Yes, on the boats set up for one. The DJ and any extra sound equipment are booked through us and paid before the charter.
Is there a deposit for damage?
That depends on the boat too. We send you the terms for your yacht before booking, and they are separate from the 50% deposit that holds your date.
Is there an age limit?
Guests under eighteen come with a parent. Without a parent aboard, the limit is eighteen and over.
Can the party continue overnight?
On the boats with cabins, yes — dinner at anchor and the night in a quiet bay. Sleeping capacity is much smaller than day capacity, so a group of fifty for the day is not a group of fifty for the night. Overnight charters covers the format.

Yacht Speed: Cruising Speed by Yacht Type
Average yacht speed is not one fixed number.

Individual vessels can sit well outside those broad planning ranges. The useful answer…
