On average, catamarans in Phuket can host up to ten people. Most have three to four cabins and four to six berths. The cabins are usually equipped with comfortable beds and offer spacious indoor and outdoor living spaces. With a catamaran, you'll have plenty of space to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery of Phuket as you sail from one beautiful location to the next.

How much does it cost to charter a catamaran in Phuket?

A catamaran rental in Phuket starts from $400 per day and goes up to $2,500 or more per day for a luxury catamaran charter. The price will depend on the size and capacity of the catamaran, the season you plan to go, the year and make of the boat, and more.

There may be additional fees depending on the experience you wish to create, such as if you choose to rent with a skipper, rent water toys, or more.

A catamaran charter can be perfect for small groups or couples or for larger groups of 10 and more, depending on the size of your charter. With Click&Boat you can receive your own personal advisor who will help you find the perfect catamaran charter for your vacation that suits all your requirements and fits within your budget.

When is the best time to visit?

Although Phuket is warm all year round with average temperatures not dropping below 72°F, many consider November to February to be the best months to visit when the weather is dry and sunny. This provides the perfect opportunity to escape cold winter weather for a tropical, sunny winter vacation.

The wet season runs from May to October when monsoons bring more rainfall and higher humidity. Of course, the low season also means lower prices and the high season means more expensive flights and catamaran charter prices. But the beautiful weather and once-in-a-lifetime experiences this island has to offer will make any price tag worth it.

Where to sail to in Phuket?

With countless idyllic islands and islets in this exquisite corner of paradise, sail beyond Phuket during your catamaran charter to visit many other gems that Thailand has to offer.

• Phang Nga Bay: Phang Nga Bay is a beautiful bay located between Phuket and the mainland. The bay is famous for its limestone cliffs and mangrove forests. On your catamaran, you can visit the floating village of Koh Panyee, which is built entirely on stilts over the water. The village is famous for its seafood restaurants and traditional way of life.
• Phi Phi Islands: The Phi Phi Islands are a group of six islands just 25 miles away from Phuket. These islands are popular for their stunning beaches, clear blue waters, and limestone cliffs. One of the best things to do is to visit Maya Bay, where the famous movie, "The Beach" was filmed. The islands are also the perfect place to go snorkeling and kayaking, or simply relax on the beaches.
• James Bond Island: James Bond Island, also known as Khao Phing Kan, is a popular tourist attraction in Phang Nga Bay. It is famous for its feature in "The Man with the Golden Gun." The island is a limestone rock formation that juts out of the water surrounded by emerald-green waters. With your catamaran rental, you can explore its caves and hidden lagoons.
• Racha Island: Koh Racha Yai is a small island known for its striking turquoise water. Due to the clear water, it is a great place for snorkeling or scuba diving. It is also conveniently located near Phuket, about only seven miles away.

Rent with or without a skipper

With Click&Boat, you have the option to rent a sailing catamaran with or without a skipper. With a bareboat charter, you become the captain of your own ship! You'll have the freedom to steer the catamaran wherever you desire, exploring hidden coves and sandy beaches. However, to take charge of a bareboat charter, you'll need some boating experience and perhaps a sailing license.

On the other hand, if you're looking for a more relaxing option, you can choose a crewed catamaran. This means you'll have a professional skipper on board who will handle all the sailing duties. You can simply sit back and enjoy the views. The skipper will not only ensure your safety but also share interesting stories about the area.
