Limestone and hidden lagoons
Phang Nga Bay's karst towers, narrow channels and tidal lagoons are the scenery Thailand is known for, and they are best reached by tender or kayak.

Thailand Yacht Charter
01
Big Scenery, Short Distances
A yacht charter in Thailand offers warm water cruising, dramatic coastal scenery, and some of the easiest logistics in Asia.Most charters take place in the Andaman Sea, where short distances, protected anchorages, and a wide range of islands make it possible to experience a lot in a single week, without long passages or rough conditions.
Phuket is the usual start and finish. From there the question is how far you want to range: the karst scenery of Phang Nga Bay and Phi Phi close at hand, or the offshore diving of the Similan Islands.
Why Thailand
The draw of Thailand.
Short passages
Islands sit close together in the Andaman Sea, so a week here is spent at anchor rather than on long crossings.
Diving and reef time
The Similans are offshore, open roughly November to April, and effectively yacht-access only.
The easiest logistics in Asia
Direct international flights into Phuket, real marinas, proper provisioning and experienced crews.

Thailand's Best Locations by Yacht
03 Featured Yacht
Wanna Charter the White Lotus Yacht?
- SPACECAT is the yacht from season three of The White Lotus, filmed off Koh Samui.
- 118 feet, built 2023 by Silver Yachts and designed by Espen Oino. She cruises at 16 knots, faster than most yachts her size.
- A 1.8-metre draft lets her anchor inside Phang Nga Bay and behind Phi Phi Leh, where deep-draft superyachts cannot follow.
- Eight guests in four cabins, with a full-beam master and around 30 percent more volume than a monohull her length.
- An 18-foot saltwater pool set into the aft deck, three decks of lounging, and glass on every side.
- The catamaran platform cuts roll at anchor and underway, so she suits first-timers and anyone prone to seasickness.

10 Good to know
Frequently asked questions.
When is the best time to charter a yacht in Thailand?
The best charter season is November to April, when the weather is dry and seas are calm. We generally avoid the southwest monsoon period from May to October, when conditions can be unsettled.
Where do Thailand yacht charters start?
Most Thailand yacht charters start and end in Phuket, which offers the best combination of flights, marinas, and provisioning.
How long should a Thailand yacht charter be?
We recommend 5–7 nights for a comfortable itinerary. Shorter charters work well here due to short distances between islands, while longer trips allow time to reach more remote areas like the Similan Islands.
How much does a crewed yacht charter in Thailand cost?
Crewed yacht charters in Thailand start from USD $10,000–$30,000 per week for smaller, more basic yachts. At the luxury end of the market, a one-week superyacht charter costs from around USD $80,000 per week and can reach several hundred thousand dollars, depending on size, season, and level of service. Most luxury charters are priced plus expenses, with an APA of around 20–30% to cover fuel, food, beverages, and cruising costs, plus local taxes. Thailand offers some of the best value luxury yacht chartering in Asia when comparing yacht quality, crew, and cruising grounds.
Is Thailand suitable for families?
Yes. Thailand is one of the most family-friendly yacht charter destinations in the region. Calm waters, short passages, easy swimming, and cultural stops make it ideal for families and multi-generational groups.
