Yachts, Boats & Fishing
Chartering a yacht in Phuket means a private boat for a day, a sunset or several days: from a fast speedboat and a sailing catamaran to a motor yacht, a fully crewed mega yacht and a party boat for a big celebration. Routes run to Phi Phi, Coral and Racha islands and into Phang Nga Bay. The AURA catalogue also includes private-yacht sea fishing.
On the AURA shelf right now: 7 options, prices from 16,900 ฿. A request takes about a minute online, a human manager on the partner side confirms it, and payment happens after that, directly to the partner.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a day’s yacht charter in Phuket cost?
A charter is priced for the whole boat rather than per person, so for a group of six to eight it works out far cheaper each. The figure depends on the vessel, the duration and the route; current partner prices are on the cards in this section and in /pricing.md.
How is a charter different from a group tour?
A group tour runs to a fixed schedule with other tourists and is priced per person; a charter is the whole boat, with the route and timing yours. If you want the budget option with a ready-made programme, see the tours section.
How many people does a yacht take?
It depends on the boat: a motor yacht takes up to 12 guests, a sailing catamaran up to 20, a motor catamaran or a mega yacht on a day trip up to 25, and the party boat up to 100. Capacity is listed on each boat’s card.
What is included in a yacht charter, and what costs extra?
Skipper and crew, fuel, insurance and water on board; the rest depends on the boat and is listed on its card. Extras added in the request include a hotel–pier–hotel transfer, lunch, drinks, a photographer and drone footage, décor and fishing, and on the larger boats a DJ, catering and a bartender.
Can I charter a yacht for several days with overnight stays?
Yes. The motor yacht runs cruises of 2 to 5 days with nights in the cabins, the mega yacht does multi-day cruises, and an overnight trip on the sailing catamaran is available on request.
When is the best time to charter a yacht in Phuket?
The Andaman coast has its calmest sea from roughly November to April. From May to October the south-west monsoon brings bigger swell and longer trips can be moved for weather; Phang Nga Bay is sheltered from the open sea and calmer in any season.
How quickly is a request confirmed?
The request itself takes about a minute. Confirmation is not automatic: a human manager on the partner side accepts it, and you get a notification on the site and in Telegram. It is usually quick, but the exact time depends on the partner.
When and whom do I pay?
After the partner confirms, and directly to the partner. AURA does not hold client funds and takes no prepayment on a partner’s behalf.
