Questions people ask before booking
How much does yacht rental in Phuket cost?
It depends on boat type, route, date, guest count, fuel, food, fees, and transfers. Send your date, group size, route, and budget so the quote can show realistic options.
Which route is best for families?
Coral Island and Racha are often easier family choices. Coral is shorter; Racha can have clearer water when conditions are good.
Is a catamaran or speedboat better?
Catamarans are better for deck space and stability at anchor. Speedboats are better for longer routes and more stops in one day.
Can we rent a private boat for sunset only?
Yes, many boats can do sunset charters. The best route usually stays close to Phuket so the trip does not feel rushed.
What happens if the weather is bad?
The captain or operator may change the route, delay departure, or recommend rescheduling depending on safety and comfort.
Do you offer fishing charters?
Yes. Fishing quotes depend on boat, gear, target species, route, and whether the trip is serious fishing or a mixed family day.
Is Phi Phi possible in one day by private boat?
Yes, especially by private speedboat. It should be planned as a full-day route with an early start, clear stop priorities, and park fees confirmed.
Do we need to pay national park fees?
Some routes and stops require national park or landing fees. The quote should state whether these are included or paid separately in cash.
Is food included?
It depends on the boat. Some include fruit, water, soft drinks, or lunch; others charge catering separately. Ask for exact inclusions.
Can we bring children?
Yes on suitable boats and routes. Share child ages so life jackets, shade, toilet access, and timing can be checked.
Can we customize the route?
Usually yes within weather, fuel, time, national park rules, and captain approval. Major route changes may change the price.
How far in advance should we book?
For peak season, holidays, large yachts, and special dates, book as early as possible. For normal dates, several days to two weeks can be enough if flexible.
What information is needed to get a quote?
Send travel date, number of guests, preferred route, boat type, trip length, hotel area, budget, and any needs such as children, fishing gear, catering, or decor.
