Yacht Rental in Phuket: Complete Price Guide
Speedboat β the cheapest option
Renting a speedboat for a few hours is the most budget-friendly β from 8,000-10,000 THB for a group of up to 6-8 people for half a day, fuel and captain included. Good for short trips to nearby islands like Koh Racha or Koh Mai Thon.
A motor yacht for the day β with captain and crew
A full day on a motor yacht with a captain and crew starts at 40,000 THB and up β the price rises with boat size and route distance. Phi Phi or the Similans cost more than nearby islands because of travel time and fuel.
Catamaran β for bigger groups
Catamarans take larger groups (10-20+ people) and are often used for birthdays and corporate events. Pricing is either per boat or per seat β confirm the format when booking, the price difference is significant.
What's included in the price, and what isn't
Fuel, basic insurance and the captain are usually included in the rental price. Drinks, towels, snorkeling gear and onboard food aren't always β it depends on the specific listing. Confirm this before paying so there are no surprises on the water.
