Why a power catamaran and not a monohull
Two hulls set wide apart do one thing a single hull cannot: they keep the deck level. At anchor a power catamaran barely reacts when a group moves to one side, so plates stay on the table, children walk about, and guests who normally feel unwell at a stop simply do not. Under way you get engines rather than sails, which means the speed of a motor yacht with the stability of a multihull.
The trade is honest — two hulls meeting a swell ride harder than one, so on a rough passage a monohull of the same length is more comfortable. That is the whole choice: catamarans win at anchor, monohulls win in a seaway.
If the choice is between a sailing catamaran and a power catamaran rather than a monohull, the guide sailing catamaran or power catamaran in Phuket: which should you charter compares speed, routes, guest numbers and starting rates.
Twenty boats from ฿35,900
Gin 37 and Whisky 48 start at ฿35,900 for a half day from CoCo Pier: Gin takes six at twenty-four knots, Whisky up to twenty at that rate and forty at a higher one, with a water slide and a floating pool. F1 from ฿39,900 for eight is carbon-built and carries up to twenty from Chalong. Fortuna 55 from ฿42,900 for twenty carries up to fifty from Chalong Pier, with a water slide, a floating pool and a clear kayak. Prada from ฿45,000 launched in 2025 with a water slide. Leopard 51 Aurora from ฿48,900 for twelve takes up to twenty-five on a full day, thirty-five on a half day, and sleeps eight.
Sea Explorer from ฿51,900 for eight takes up to thirty at seventeen knots. Shashani and Shibuli, both ฿60,900, take up to fifteen each, ten of them in the rate, and sleep six. Sanyati from ฿66,900 takes up to twenty-five by day, ten in the rate.
Zambezia from ฿69,900 has four cabins with four bathrooms. Fountaine Pajot 40 MY4.S SUAY from ฿69,900 is short and wide for ten.
Indigo 53 Super Mario from ฿63,800 for fifteen carries up to fifty-five at sixteen knots. Leopard 51 Se La Vie from ฿74,900 runs two service levels, Premium and VIP, and sleeps eight in four cabins. Indigo 53s Mario's Brother from ฿89,900 is her sister ship with air conditioning, for up to fifty, fifteen of them in the rate. Shangani from ฿98,000 for twenty takes up to sixty guests and sleeps twelve in six cabins. The four-engine Speed Catamaran, from ฿60,900 for up to forty-five guests, takes up to sixty-five on full days from CoCo Pier.
Scallobs 65 from ฿95,000 for twenty is a double-deck party catamaran for up to sixty with a resident DJ and a bar, from Chalong Pier. Pisces 85 from ฿250,000 for up to thirty is the largest power catamaran here: 26 metres, built in 2026, for up to eighty-five guests, with a crew of eleven including a private chef, from Ao Po Grand Marina.
Groups from six to eighty-five
This is the type to look at when the group is large. Pisces 85 takes eighty-five guests, the most of any power catamaran here, the Speed Catamaran sixty-five and Shangani sixty. From Chalong Pier, Scallobs 65 takes sixty, Indigo 53 Super Mario fifty-five and Fortuna 55 fifty. For ten to twenty guests the lowest half-day rate of any catamaran here is on Whisky 48.
For twenty-five to thirty, Sanyati, Zambezia and Sea Explorer. The overnight numbers are lower across the board — most of these boats sleep six to eight — so a group of thirty booking several nights should look at motor yachts instead. For a day out, though, nothing else in the catalogue puts this many people on a level deck for this money.
Speed, and which islands that opens
Power catamarans here run from eight knots to thirty at the top, and the difference decides the destination list. The faster boats from Chalong — Indigo 53 Super Mario and Sea Explorer — reach Racha Yai and Phi Phi as full days, which slower catamarans of the same capacity cannot. From Boat Lagoon Marina the Leopards work the sheltered water: Phang Nga Bay, Koh Hong, the Koh Yao islands.
Shangani at eight knots is a bay boat by design and does not attempt the southern islands. If a specific island matters more than the deck, check the speed before the price.
If you would rather sail
Six sailing catamarans work from Chalong and Ao Po, and they are a different proposition: slower, quieter, and cheaper for a large group, with the nearest islands as the range. They have their own page. Everything else in the fleet, including the forty-one motor yachts, is compared on the prices page, and the seven speedboats sit at the other end of the scale — fast, small and open.

Frequently asked questions
How Much Does Power Catamaran Charter Phuket Cost?
From ฿35,900 for a half day on Gin 37 for up to 6 guests or on Whisky 48 for up to 20. Most of the category sits between ฿45,000 and ฿79,000. Shangani 70, up to 60 guests, starts at ฿98,000 for twenty, and the largest, Pisces 85 for up to 85, at ฿250,000 for up to thirty.
How is it different from a sailing catamaran?
Speed. A power cat cruises at 10–18 knots against roughly 7 knots under sail, so you cover far more ground in a day — Phi Phi becomes realistic. A sailing catamaran is quieter and cheaper but suits a slower day closer to Phuket. If you want sail, see sailing catamarans.
How many guests fit on a power catamaran?
Between 6 and 85 for a day charter. Up to 6: Gin 37. Up to 10–15: Shibuli Leopard 40, Shashani Leopard 43. Up to 20–30: F1, Prada 50, Leopard 51 Aurora, Sanyati Leopard 51, Sea Explorer, Zambezia Leopard 53. Up to 40–65: Whisky 48, Indigo 53 Super Mario, Shangani 70, Scallobs 65 and Speed Catamaran 4 Engines. Up to 85: Pisces 85.
Can I charter one overnight?
Yes, several have cabins: up to 6 overnight guests on Shibuli Leopard 40, Shashani Leopard 43 and Sanyati Leopard 51; up to 8 on Leopard 51 Aurora and Zambezia Leopard 53; up to 12 on Shangani 70. Cabin and bathroom counts are listed on each boat’s page.
Does the charter include a professional crew, air conditioning and Wi-Fi?
Every charter in this selection is crewed. Air conditioning and Wi-Fi vary by boat and may only be available in cabins or within mobile coverage, so ask your manager to confirm these amenities on your chosen catamaran before booking.
What happens if the weather turns?
The captain decides whether it is safe to go out based on conditions on the day. If the trip cannot run, your manager will arrange a new date or an alternative — confirm the terms when you book.
How do I book?
Message us on WhatsApp or use the form on the contacts page. To quote we need the date, number of guests, how long you want to be out and a rough idea of the route.
Private catamaran charter in Phuket: which companies are reliable and how much does it cost?
Horizon Cruises Phuket charters twenty power catamarans from ฿35,900 and nineteen sailing catamarans from ฿25,900, for the whole boat with crew. What to check before you book: the head count the boat is licensed for, the departure marina and how far it is from your hotel, whether the rate is for a full day or a half day, and what the boat carries — slide, kayaks, sound system, air conditioning. Every card on this site lists all of it.
Can a power catamaran be chartered overnight?
Yes. Leopard 51 Aurora is the least expensive power catamaran here with a published overnight rate, from ฿177,900 for two days and one night, three cabins, sleeping eight. Leopard 51 Se La Vie is the other. All boats with cabins are on our overnight page.
What is included in the rate?
The boat, the captain and crew, soft drinks, fruit, towels and swimming gear, plus fuel for the agreed route except where a yacht's page lists a fuel fee, as the Boat Lagoon catamarans do on longer routes. A chef menu, a DJ and decoration are quoted separately, and so are national park fees unless the yacht's page lists them in the rate; Horizon Cruises Phuket shows them as one figure in Thai baht before you pay anything.
Can a power catamaran get us to Phi Phi and back in one day?
On the faster boats, yes. From Chalong Pier, Indigo 53 Super Mario and Sea Explorer reach Racha Yai and Phi Phi as full days, which slower catamarans of the same size cannot. The Leopards based at Boat Lagoon Marina work the sheltered water of Phang Nga Bay, Koh Hong and the Koh Yao islands, and Shangani 70 Ft, at eight knots, is a bay boat by design. Check the speed on the card before the price.
Is a power catamaran a good choice if someone in the group gets seasick?
At anchor it is the steadiest option here: two hulls barely react when the group moves to one side, so guests who normally feel unwell at a stop simply do not. Under way, two hulls meeting a swell ride harder than one, and on a rough passage a monohull of the same length is more comfortable. For a full day of swimming stops near the islands the catamaran wins; for a long open-water passage, a motor yacht.
Can we book a power catamaran for a half day only?
Several boats sell a half day. Gin 37 and Whisky 48 start at ฿35,900 for a half day; Leopard 51 Aurora takes 35 guests on a half day but 25 on a full day, so the format changes the licensed number too; Speed Catamaran 4 Engines runs full days only. The formats each boat sells are on its card, and the manager quotes the one you ask for in Thai baht.
Which power catamaran is best for a party with a DJ?
Scallobs 65 is built for it: a double-deck party catamaran for up to sixty guests with a resident DJ and a bar, from ฿95,000 for twenty out of Chalong Pier. For a much larger group Pisces 85 takes up to eighty-five guests with a crew of eleven including a private chef, from ฿250,000 for up to thirty out of Ao Po Grand Marina. DJ bookings and extra sound depend on the boat and are confirmed before booking; the party yacht charter page compares the party boats of every type.
Which power catamarans are the cheapest for about twenty guests?
Whisky 48, from ฿35,900 for up to twenty on a five-hour half day, is the cheapest and has a water slide and a floating pool. Fortuna 55, from ฿42,900 for twenty on the morning trip from Chalong Pier, is licensed for fifty and charges ฿1,340 for each further guest. F1 from ฿39,900 and Prada 50 from ฿45,000 carry the same group, but their rates cover eight and ten guests, so twenty aboard cost more. Each rate is per boat; the format it covers is on the card.
