Motor Yacht Charter Phuket
Motor yacht charter Phuket is the most versatile charter format in this fleet: an air-conditioned saloon, a flybridge, cabins with en-suite bathrooms and enough speed to reach the far islands without spending the whole day travelling.
It is the largest category in the Horizon Cruises Phuket fleet — 36 yachts from 42 to 139 feet, from ฿33,900 to ฿1,237,500 per day. The boarding point depends on the selected yacht and is confirmed in writing before the charter; the crew speaks English, Russian and Thai.
Motor Yacht Rental Phuket: Under ฿80,000
The entry segment: 42 to 70 feet, taking 8 to 50 day guests. Right for a day out with a group without paying for a higher level of finish.
Motor Yachts: ฿80,000–฿160,000
The mid segment, and the most requested one. It includes the company’s own Technema 89 “Say Yes” for 30 guests.
Motor Yachts: From ฿160,000
The upper segment: 74 to 139 feet, full cabins, larger crews and the range for multi-day itineraries. The company’s second owned yacht, Beluga 88, sits here.
Several yachts from this segment also appear in the luxury yacht and superyacht selection, where multi-day formats and service levels are covered in more detail.
Private Motor Yacht Phuket
Anyone who wants to get further in a day. Speed is the real advantage over sail: Phi Phi, Krabi and even the Similans become realistic in a single outing.
Anyone who wants air conditioning. Phuket is hot during the day, and an enclosed saloon is not a luxury — it is the difference between a good day and an exhausting one. Sailing catamarans generally do not have one.
Overnight stays. Most motor yachts here have cabins with en-suite bathrooms, sleeping 4 to 12 guests depending on the yacht.
Mixed groups. When some of the group want to swim and snorkel and others would rather sit in the shade with a drink, a motor yacht covers both.
Large groups. Siam Princess 70 takes up to 50 day guests, SPLO 74 CHOWA up to 45 and Technema 89 “Say Yes” up to 30.

Motor yacht charter Phuket routes cross the Andaman Sea to the Phi Phi Islands, Koh Phi Phi, Maya Bay, Koh Racha Yai, the Similan Islands, Phang Nga Bay and James Bond Island. The famous James Bond Island, limestone cliffs, hidden coves, clear waters, turquoise waters, marine life, pristine beaches and white sandy beaches make these beautiful islands popular, but weather, season, marine national park rules and national park fees always affect the plan. The captain decides what is realistic for the duration of the charter.
A private yacht or private boat can work as a day charter, private yacht charter, overnight experience or longer unforgettable journey. The charter manager matches the group to different types of yachts, a professional crew, cabins, range and licensed capacity. Yacht rental, private yacht hire, private rental, luxury yacht charter, luxury yacht rentals and boat rental Phuket are search labels; your quote must name the actual yacht. The boarding point is confirmed in writing for the selected yacht; it should never be assumed from the category page.
Phuket yacht charters can help guests spend quality time away from crowded tourist places and the most crowded areas, but phrases such as tropical paradise, extraordinary vacation, dream destinations, luxury island, luxurious yacht, most beautiful destinations, most beautiful spots or off the beaten path are not specifications. Compare final price, inclusions, customer reviews, local company support and more than a decade of experience. Industry rankings, “best yacht company” and “best yacht charter company” claims should never replace the actual boat, crew and terms. This comprehensive guide covers numerous islands, the main island, the picturesque island of Phuket and the practical choices within Phuket’s yacht industry, including yacht tours.
What Does Luxury Motor Yacht Charter Phuket Include?
Motor yacht charter Phuket prices shown here are final guest prices in Thai baht per charter day. There is no separate fuel surcharge: fuel for the agreed route is already included.
Length, build year and finish, capacity, crew size, distance and season all move the number. The spread in this category is wide — ฿33,900 to ฿1,237,500 a day — so it helps to fix your guest count and the shape of the day first.
On most yachts the day rate includes fuel for the route, drinking water and soft drinks, ice, towels, snorkelling gear and insurance. This varies yacht to yacht, so check the individual page.
