What Affects Yacht Charter Prices?
Yacht Size & Type
The biggest factor in pricing. A 30ft speedboat for 6 guests starts from 22,400 THB/day, while a 100ft+ superyacht for 30+ guests can cost over 1,000,000 THB/day. Catamarans and sailing yachts typically fall between motor yachts and superyachts in price.
Season
Thailand has three pricing seasons:
- Low Season (May–October): Best prices, 5–15% below regular. Seas can be rougher on the Andaman side (Phuket, Krabi), but the Gulf (Samui) is calm.
- Regular Season (March–April, November–mid December): Standard pricing. Great weather, fewer crowds than peak.
- Peak Season (mid-December–mid February): Highest prices, 5–15% above regular. Book 2–4 weeks in advance for best selection.
Charter Duration
Longer charters offer better value per hour. A full-day charter (7–8h) typically costs only 30–50% more than a half-day (4–5h) on the same yacht. Overnight and multi-day charters include additional overnight fees.
Destination & Distance
Nearby destinations like Coral Island (20 min from Phuket) cost less in fuel than Phi Phi Islands (1.5–2 hours). National park entry fees (200–400 THB/person) are separate.
What's Included in the Price?
- Captain & crew — Professional, licensed captain plus crew (1–4 depending on yacht size)
- Fuel — Standard routes included. Extended routes may incur surcharges
