The Ultimate Freedom: Chartering a Private Yacht or Catamaran in Phuket
True luxury is the ability to move through the world on your own terms.
In Phuket, the ocean is not just a backdrop; it is the main event. However, the experience of the Andaman Sea varies drastically depending on how you choose to navigate it. You could join the masses on a crowded ferry, or you could command your own floating sanctuary.
At Phuket Dream Company, we specialize in the latter.
Chartering a private yacht or catamaran is not merely about transportation; it is about claiming a piece of the ocean for yourself. Whether you seek the thrill of a high-speed motor yacht or the stable luxury of a sailing catamaran, we offer a fleet designed to meet the exacting standards of our VIP clientele.
Yacht vs. Catamaran: Which Vessel Suits Your Style?
One of the first questions we ask our clients is: What is your vision for the day?
The Luxury Catamaran: Space and Stability
For families, large groups, or those who are prone to seasickness, the catamaran is the superior choice.
- The Design: With two parallel hulls, catamarans offer exceptional stability. They do not roll with the waves like a monohull.
- The Space: The wide beam creates a massive deck area, often featuring “trampolines” (nets) at the front for sunbathing and spacious indoor/outdoor dining areas.
- The Vibe: Relaxed, social, and leisurely. Perfect for a sunset dinner cruise or a lazy day of island hopping.
The Private Motor Yacht: Speed and Status
For those who want to see more in less time, or simply appreciate Italian design and raw power, the motor yacht is the answer.
- The Reach: With powerful engines, you can reach distant paradises like the Similan Islands or Phi Phi much faster than a sailboat.
- The Aesthetic: Sleek lines, air-conditioned interiors, and a “James Bond” level of sophistication.
- The Vibe: Exhilarating, exclusive, and fast.
The Onboard Experience: Beyond the Boat
A boat is just fiberglass and wood; the crew creates the experience. When you book a private charter with us, you are booking a full-service hospitality team.
1. The Captain Your captain is not just a driver; he is a local expert. He knows which bays are sheltered from the wind, which beaches are empty at 11:00 AM, and where the manta rays were spotted yesterday.
2. The Culinary Journey Forget packed lunches. Our private charters can be staffed with a private chef who prepares fresh seafood, Thai delicacies, or Western favorites right on board. Imagine enjoying a grilled lobster lunch while anchored in a turquoise lagoon.
3. The Toys Your yacht is your private playground. Most of our vessels come equipped with:
- Snorkeling gear
- Paddleboards (SUP) and Kayaks
- Inflatable slides (on select catamarans)
- Fishing gear
- Optional Add-ons: Seabobs, jet skis, and tender boats for exploring shallow caves.
Curating Your Itinerary
The beauty of a private charter is the flexibility. There are no set schedules. However, here are two of our clients’ favorite routes:
The “Pearl of the Andaman” (Phi Phi Islands)
- The Goal: To see the famous Maya Bay without the famous crowds.
- The Plan: We depart early to beat the tour boats. You swim in the Pileh Lagoon (a natural swimming pool surrounded by cliffs), snorkel at Monkey Beach, and enjoy lunch on board.
The “Emerald Escape” (Phang Nga Bay)
- The Goal: Scenery and serenity.
- The Plan: Cruise through the alien-like limestone karsts. Visit James Bond Island, then escape to a secret lagoon for canoeing. This route is calm and protected, making it perfect for year-round cruising.
Who Should Charter?
- Multi-Generational Families: Catamarans provide a safe, flat platform for toddlers and grandparents alike.
- Corporate Retreats: Impress your top executives or clients with a day of networking on the open sea.
- Celebration Groups: Birthday parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and wedding receptions are infinitely more memorable on the water.
Unlock the Ocean
Do not let your view of Thailand be obstructed by the person sitting in front of you. Step aboard, take the helm (metaphorically), and let the horizon be your only limit.
