Sailing Catamaran Charter Phuket
Sailing catamaran charter Phuket trips offer one of the quietest ways to spend a day in the Andaman Sea. Under sail there is no engine noise or vibration, two hulls keep the deck flat, and the trampoline between them turns into the best seat on board.
It is also the most affordable way to take a large group out: the 7 sailing catamarans at Horizon Cruises Phuket carry up to 40 guests, starting at ฿23,000 for the day.
Sailing catamaran charter Phuket planning starts with the group size, route, budget and whether you want a relaxed day trip or overnight cabins. Set sail on a private boat to enjoy the Andaman Sea at your own pace, with the whole space reserved for your group. These yacht charters suit a family holiday, calm water activities and unhurried stops near beautiful islands, sandy beaches and coral reefs. Koh Racha, Koh Racha Yai and Phi Phi need realistic route planning; for Phang Nga Bay or James Bond Island, ask whether a longer itinerary or a faster private yacht is the better fit. The professional crew confirms what is practical in local waters for your date.
Sailing Catamaran Rental Phuket: 7 Boats
Prices are per charter day in Thai baht and are the final guest price. Check the page of each catamaran for what is included on that particular boat.
Private Sailing Catamaran Phuket
Big groups on a sensible budget. Bohemian and Ella take 35–40 guests from ฿23,000 a day, which works out to the lowest per-person cost in the fleet. Satisfaction 55 and Calypso sit in the same bracket.
People who actually want to sail. The difference is immediate — under sail you hear the water instead of the engines. No motor yacht gives you that at any price.
A slow day with a lot of swimming. Cruising speed is around 7 knots, so the day is built around anchoring in a bay, swimming, snorkelling, eating and heading back for sunset. Chasing distant islands is not what these boats are for.
Weddings and photo shoots. White sails and an open foredeck produce shots you will not get on a speedboat.
Overnight capable here: Pina Colada 40 (up to 6 guests) and Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION (up to 8). The rest of the selection is set up for day charters.
Phuket Sailing Catamaran Hire Routes
These boats suit closer routes where the quality of the day matters more than distance covered:
- Coral Island (Koh Hey) — 15 to 20 minutes out, the classic first trip;
- Maiton Island — a quiet bay that rewards a long stop and a swim;
- Racha Islands — clear water and snorkelling across a full day;
- Koh Yao Yai and Koh Yao Noi — sheltered water in the bay, well away from tour boats;
- a sunset run along Phuket’s west coast — a short few-hour format.
The captain agrees the route based on wind and season. All destinations are on the Destinations page.
High season and low season bring different wind and sea patterns, while average temperatures alone do not determine a safe route. Around Phuket Province, nearby islands offer sandy beaches, limestone cliffs and hidden coves. Longer plans may consider Maya Bay, Racha Noi or Ko Lanta, but the timing, overnight capability and access rules must be confirmed before booking.
Our charter fleet is crewed; this page is not a bareboat charter list. Water toys vary by boat. When comparing a Phuket yacht charter, boat charter or luxury catamaran, verify the exact inclusions instead of relying on an “unforgettable experience” label. For the right group and conditions, sailing remains a perfect way to explore at a slower pace.
What Does Catamaran Sailing Phuket Cost?
Sailing catamaran charter Phuket prices shown here are final guest prices in Thai baht for a charter day. There is no fuel surcharge added on top: if fuel is needed for the route, it is already included.
Sailing catamarans cost less to run than power cats, and the charter price reflects it: ฿23,000–45,000 a day here against ฿39,000–98,000 for power catamarans. The exception in this selection is Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION, a luxury eco catamaran built for multi-day charters and priced in a different bracket.
A charter day usually includes fuel for the route, drinking water and soft drinks, ice, towels, snorkelling gear and insurance — but this varies boat to boat, so check the individual page.
Why Horizon Cruises Phuket
Horizon Cruises Phuket supports sailing catamaran charter Phuket planning in English, Russian and Thai. Twelve years in Phuket, roughly 2,400 charters completed and around 40,000 guests.
Documents. Requirements depend on the boat and itinerary. Your manager will confirm exactly what passenger details or identification are needed before payment; overnight or special routes may require more information.
Choosing a model. Compare licensed guest capacity, deck space, shade, cabin layout, sailing performance, route range and final price. The best boat is the one that safely fits your group and planned trip.
Reviews and ratings. Read recent verified reviews, then compare them with current photos, the exact boat specification and the written inclusions in your quote.
Comparing charter companies. Look for transparent final pricing, a professional crew, clear weather and cancellation terms, responsive local support and confirmation of the actual catamaran.
For private trips, the best sailing catamaran charter companies in Phuket are the ones that match the actual boat to your group, publish clear final prices and confirm the route and inclusions in writing. Horizon Cruises Phuket provides those details before booking rather than claiming that one model suits everyone.
Peak-season booking. There is no single deadline, but the most suitable boats and dates sell first. Book as early as you can for peak weeks and holidays; your manager will confirm live availability.
The company’s own yachts are Technema 89 “Say Yes” and Beluga 88; the sailing catamarans here are available for charter through Horizon Cruises Phuket. Prices on the site are the final guest prices.
Frequently asked questions
How Much Does Sailing Catamaran Charter Phuket Cost?
From ฿23,000 a day for Bohemian (up to 35 guests) and Ella (up to 40). Calypso is from ฿26,000, Satisfaction 55 from ฿39,000, Pina Colada 40 from ฿45,000 and Fountaine Pajot 40 SUAY from ฿74,000.
Will we actually sail?
That depends on the wind on the day, and the captain makes the call. In light or head winds part of the trip runs under engine. Nobody can promise a full day under sail in advance.
How many guests fit?
Up to 40 on Ella and Satisfaction 55, up to 35 on Bohemian and Calypso, up to 14 on Pina Colada 40 and up to 10 on Fountaine Pajot 40 SUAY. Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION is set up for 8 overnight guests.
Is a sailing catamaran good with children?
Yes — it barely heels, the deck is flat and wide, and the pace is slow, which is calmer than a fast speedboat. Ask your manager to confirm child-size life jackets are on board.
Can we stay overnight?
In this selection, Pina Colada 40 (up to 6 guests) and Sunreef 60 Eco E-MOTION (up to 8) are set up for overnight. The others are day charters.
How does it compare to a power catamaran?
Speed and price. Sailing cats run at about 7 knots and cost less; power cats do 12–18 knots and reach further in a day. If you want pace and distant islands, see power catamarans.
How do I book?
