Power Catamaran Charter Phuket
Power catamaran charter Phuket options combine the stability and deck space of a catamaran with the speed of a motor yacht. Two hulls keep the boat level in a chop, the deck is wider than a monohull of the same length, and a cruising speed of 12–18 knots means Phi Phi and back in a single day is realistic.
Power catamaran charter Phuket planning is easiest when you start with group size, route and preferred onboard space. For a family holiday or large group charter, the whole space stays private and you travel at your own pace. A private boat charter can be the perfect way to reach beautiful islands, sandy beaches and coral reefs across local waters. When comparing Phuket yacht charter offers and other yacht charters, check whether your chosen luxury catamaran has the upper deck, ensuite bathrooms and equipment for water activities that you need. Maya Bay, Phuket’s crystal clear waters and so-called secret beaches are always subject to weather, access and park rules. A new boat or a luxurious yacht label is not automatically the ultimate choice: layout, maintenance, professional crew and suitability for the route matter more. Smaller models may use an outboard engine, while larger yachts use other propulsion, so compare the actual specification.
Horizon Cruises Phuket has 11 power catamarans for 10 to 60 day guests. The boarding point depends on the selected catamaran and is confirmed in writing before the charter; the crew speaks English, Russian and Thai.
For large group charters or a luxury catamaran trip, compare the exact layout and amenities before choosing. Upper decks, ensuite bathrooms, inflatable slides and equipment for water activities vary by boat and should be confirmed for your date. The motor catamaran rental Phuket selection below covers groups from 10 to 60 guests.
Power Catamaran Rental Phuket: Prices
Prices are per charter day in Thai baht and are the final guest price. Check each catamaran’s page for exactly what is included on that boat.
Private Power Catamaran Phuket
Large groups. Shangani 70 takes up to 60 day guests, Indigo 52 up to 40, Zambezia Leopard 53 and Sea Explorer up to 30. The wide beam means people are not sitting on top of each other the way they would be on a monohull of the same length.
Families with children. A catamaran barely heels and rides a chop more gently, which matters if anyone in the group gets seasick. Shallow draft also lets the boat anchor closer to shore, where the water is calmer.
Anyone who wants to get further in one day. This is the real difference from a sailing catamaran: on a power cat, Phi Phi and back in a day genuinely works.
Birthdays and company trips. A flat, open deck is easy to lay out for food and conversation, and 20 to 60 guests covers most celebrations.
Overnight capable in this selection: Shibuli Leopard 40, Shashani Leopard 43, Sanyati Leopard 51 and Leopard 43 (up to 6 guests), Leopard 51 and Zambezia Leopard 53 (up to 8), Shangani 70 (up to 12). Ask your manager about multi-day itineraries.
Motor Catamaran Charter Phuket Routes
These private yacht routes cross the Andaman Sea to the Phi Phi Islands, Racha, Coral Island and Phang Nga Bay. The most requested routes for a power catamaran are:
- Coral Island (Koh Hey) — the closest trip, good for a half day or a first time out;
- Maiton Island — a quiet bay with clear water;
- Racha Islands — snorkelling and a full day at anchor;
- Phi Phi and Bamboo — a full day a power cat handles comfortably;
- Hong Island, Phang Nga — limestone cliffs and hidden lagoons; ask whether Hong Island or a James Bond Island itinerary best suits the day’s conditions and timing;
- Koh Yao Yai and Koh Yao Noi — quiet islands away from the crowds.
The final route depends on weather, season and your group — your manager will suggest options when you book. Full list on the Destinations page.
What Does Motor Catamaran Rental Phuket Include?
Power catamaran charter Phuket prices shown here are final guest prices in Thai baht for a charter day. There is no separate fuel surcharge added on top: if fuel is required for the agreed route, it is already in the price.
Size and capacity, charter length, how far you go and the season all move the number. On most catamarans a charter day includes fuel for the route, drinking water and soft drinks, ice, towels, snorkelling gear and insurance — but this varies by boat, so check the page of the catamaran you are considering.
Any route-specific national park fees will be stated in your quote if applicable.
Range in this category: from ฿39 115 a day on F1 up to ฿98 000 on the 70 ft Shangani.

Frequently asked questions
How Much Does Power Catamaran Charter Phuket Cost?
From ฿39,115 a day for the 42 ft F1, which takes up to 20 guests. Most of the category sits between ฿45,000 and ฿79,000 a day. The largest, Shangani 70 for 60 guests, starts at ฿98,000.
How is it different from a sailing catamaran?
Speed. A power cat cruises at 12–18 knots against roughly 7 knots under sail, so you cover far more ground in a day — Phi Phi becomes realistic. A sailing catamaran is quieter and cheaper but suits a slower day closer to Phuket. If you want sail, see sailing catamarans.
How many guests fit on a power catamaran?
Between 10 and 60 for a day charter. Up to 10–15: Shibuli Leopard 40, Shashani Leopard 43, Leopard 43. Up to 20–30: F1, Prada 50, Leopard 51, Sanyati Leopard 51, Sea Explorer, Zambezia Leopard 53. Up to 40–60: Indigo 52 and Shangani 70.
Can I charter one overnight?
Yes, several have cabins: up to 6 overnight guests on Shibuli Leopard 40, Shashani Leopard 43, Sanyati Leopard 51 and Leopard 43; up to 8 on Leopard 51 and Zambezia Leopard 53; up to 12 on Shangani 70. Cabin and bathroom counts are listed on each boat’s page.
Does the charter include a professional crew, air conditioning and Wi-Fi?
Every charter in this selection is crewed. Air conditioning and Wi-Fi vary by boat and may only be available in cabins or within mobile coverage, so ask your manager to confirm these amenities on your chosen catamaran before booking.
What happens if the weather turns?
The captain decides whether it is safe to go out based on conditions on the day. If the trip cannot run, your manager will arrange a new date or an alternative — confirm the terms when you book.
