How much does it cost to rent a yacht in Phuket?+

Can I book a private yacht charter in Phuket for just one day?+

Yes, absolutely. Day charters are the most popular option and perfect for exploring destinations like Phi Phi, Racha, or Phang Nga Bay. Check our Phuket day yacht charters.

How many guests can join a private yacht rental?+

It depends on the vessel. For day charters, boats can accommodate anywhere from a few people up to 100+ guests. For overnight charters, capacity usually depends on cabins — a typical catamaran sleeps around 8, while larger yachts and superyachts can host much bigger groups. Explore our fleet for exact capacities.

What is the best time of year for a yacht charter in Phuket?+

Phuket has two main seasons: – High season (Nov–Apr): Dry weather, calm seas, northeast winds — this is generally the best time for charters. – Green season (May–Oct): More rain (often at night), southwest winds — fewer crowds and lower prices. Both seasons have advantages depending on your preference. Read our Phuket yacht charter guide for more details.

Are food and drinks included?+

It depends on the vessel. With Cruise Asia, we always include a chef, meals, and soft drinks on day charters. On overnight charters, food is included but drinks can vary by yacht. Alcohol and special requests can be arranged at extra cost. Learn more about our Phuket yacht catering options.

Which islands can I visit on a Phuket yacht charter?+

This depends on the vessel type and trip duration. – Day sailing catamarans: Nearby islands like Koh Racha, Koh Mai Thon, or Coral Island. – Day power catamarans: Longer range — Phi Phi, Phang Nga Bay, Racha Noi. – Overnight trips: Similan Islands, Butang Islands, and in some cases even up to Myanmar when conditions and regulations allow.

What types of yachts can I charter in Phuket?+

We offer sailing monohulls, sailing catamarans, power yachts, superyachts, and platform catamarans. For most guests, catamarans are recommended: they’re more stable, comfortable, and spacious due to their two-hull design. See our Phuket catamaran charters.

Is crew included in a private yacht charter?+

Yes. For all our regular charters, a licensed captain and professional crew are always included. The only exception is bareboat charters, which require proper sailing licenses and experience. Explore our Phuket bareboat charters.

What safety measures are in place on Phuket yacht charters?+

Safety is our top priority. All yachts undergo regular shipyard maintenance and preventive inspections by specialists. Each yacht carries life jackets, first-aid kits, and emergency communication systems, and complies with international safety standards. Learn more about our Phuket yacht safety standards.
