About this boat
The gyro stabiliser is the reason to read further, and it is what sets this Princess apart from the other seventy-eight-footer at the same marina. Most charter yachts roll at anchor; this one has a gyroscope that spins up and holds the hull steady while she sits, and the effect is immediate — plates stay on the table, the swim platform stops rising and falling, and guests who normally feel unwell at a stop simply do not. On a seventy-eight-foot flybridge yacht refitted in 2024 that single piece of equipment changes the character of the day more than any interior detail. She takes twenty guests by day and eight overnight in four cabins, with a crew of three to four.
Sixteen knots cruising and thirty-two at the top means the routes from Boat Lagoon Marina are all comfortably within reach: the towers of Phang Nga Bay, the Bond island, the enclosed lagoon at Koh Hong, the villages of Koh Yao, and Phi Phi as the full-day run. A jet ski and paddleboards come off the stern at each stop, and there is a marina buggy to bring guests from the car park to the boat, which sounds trivial until you have walked a long pontoon in the middle of the day. Half-day, full-day and overnight charters, from two hundred forty thousand baht. Not the right boat for a very large party — twenty is the limit — or for guests choosing purely on price, since the stabiliser and the finish are what you are paying for.
A word on the four cabins, since they are what justifies the rate: all four are usable for adults rather than being two proper staterooms and two berths for children, which is what an overnight group of eight actually needs. Half-day guests will not touch them, and for a day charter alone there are cheaper boats with the same deck space.

What are the charter hours?
- Charter times are between 09:00 and 19:00.
- Please be on time — the yacht returns at the agreed hour, and a late start shortens the trip rather than extending it.
- Programmes and timing depend on weather and sea conditions. If the weather makes the planned route unworkable, we agree what to do with you individually — there is no single fixed rule, and the options depend on the boat, the date and how far the plan has to change.
- If you ask to change the departure point, the relocation is agreed separately — the boat is berthed where it is berthed, and moving it costs time and fuel.
What do you pay separately?
- National park fees, where they apply.
- Lunch on short charters — check the inclusions on the boat's own page.
- Optional extras and relocation fees.
What each boat includes differs. The exact list is on every yacht page under «Trip inclusions» and «Not included».
