  • FAQ:
    How much does a catamaran charter cost in Phuket?

    Catamaran charter in Phuket starts from 22,400 THB per day (approx. $640 USD) for a sailing catamaran with captain and crew. Motor catamarans start from 35,000 THB. Prices are per boat, not per person. For 20 guests on a 30,000 THB catamaran, that's just 1,500 THB ($43) per person.


    Are catamarans better for seasickness?

    Yes, significantly. Catamarans have two hulls which makes them far more stable than monohull boats. They rock much less in waves, making them the best choice for guests prone to motion sickness. Most people who get seasick on regular boats do fine on catamarans.


    Can I go overnight on a catamaran?

    Absolutely. Most catamarans in our fleet have 3-4 private cabins with en-suite bathrooms, making them ideal for overnight and multi-day cruises. A 2-day/1-night catamaran cruise starts from 55,000 THB. Wake up anchored at a deserted island!


    How many people fit on a catamaran?

    Our catamarans range from small sailing cats for 6 guests to large motor catamarans for up to 50 guests. The most popular sizes carry 20-30 guests comfortably. Catamarans offer more usable space per foot than monohulls thanks to their wide beam.


    Can we sail or is it always motor?

    We have both sailing catamarans (using sails + auxiliary engine) and motor catamarans. Sailing cats offer a romantic, eco-friendly experience. Your captain will use sails when wind conditions allow and motor when needed to keep your schedule.


    What is the best catamaran route from Phuket?

    For a full-day trip, Coral Island + Promthep Cape sunset is the most popular: swim, snorkel, lunch on deck, and catch the sunset. For adventure seekers, Phi Phi Islands by catamaran is unforgettable. For relaxation, a Phang Nga Bay cruise through limestone karsts is spectacular.

Private catamaran charter in Phuket starts from 22,400 THB per day ($640 USD). Choose from 39 sailing and motor catamarans for 6 to 50 guests. Catamarans offer exceptional stability, spacious decks, and shallow draft — making them the most comfortable way to explore Phuket's islands. All charters include captain, crew, fuel, insurance, and VAT.

Why Choose a Catamaran?

Catamarans are the gold standard for island-hopping in Thailand. Their twin-hull design delivers benefits that no monohull can match:

  • Stability — minimal rocking, even in choppy conditions. Perfect for guests who get seasick on regular boats
  • Space — up to 2x the deck area of a monohull the same length. Enormous sun decks, trampolines, and lounging areas
  • Shallow draft — can anchor closer to beaches and navigate shallow bays that deep-keel yachts can't reach
  • Sailing experience — sailing catamarans offer the romance of wind power with the comfort of modern amenities
  • Multiple cabins — ideal for overnight trips with separate sleeping quarters
