Pick the right yacht for your Phuket charter: guests, cabins, budget, and which islands fit in one day.
Quick checklist:
Popular picks: HYPE 80ft, catamarans for groups. Tours: private Phi Phi.
Related: private vs group tours, best season.
Match guest count to licensed capacity, allow extra space for comfort on full-day trips. Dream Charter lists capacity per yacht — smaller boats for 6–12 guests, luxury yachts for 20+ or overnight charters.
Look for shaded decks, air-conditioned cabins, fresh water showers, snorkeling gear and a licensed crew. For Phi Phi or James Bond routes, stable seating and onboard lunch matter on 7–9 hour days.
Day charters suit Phi Phi, Phang Nga and Racha. Overnight charters work for Similan (Oct–May) or multi-day Andaman trips. Dream Charter quotes both — confirm fuel, crew meals and cabin rules in writing.
