Explore the Gulf of Thailand at your own pace — Ang Thong Marine Park's 42 islands, Koh Phangan's hidden bays, Koh Tao's world-class snorkeling, and the famous Pig Island. Fall asleep to gentle waves, wake up anchored at a pristine beach.

Why Overnight from Samui?

The Gulf of Thailand around Koh Samui offers calmer seas than the Andaman coast, especially from May to October. This makes Samui the ideal year-round base for overnight cruises — no monsoon closures, consistently good conditions.

  • Ang Thong Marine Park — 42 limestone islands, emerald lagoons, panoramic viewpoints. Best experienced over 2 days
  • Koh Phangan — beyond the Full Moon Party: hidden beaches, Bottle Beach, Thong Nai Pan
  • Koh Tao — Thailand's diving capital, crystal visibility, whale shark sightings
  • Koh Madsum (Pig Island) — charming pigs on the beach, calm swimming, great for families
  • Calm waters year-round — the Gulf is sheltered when the Andaman side is rough

Overnight yacht charter in Phuket starts from 70,600 THB for a 2-day/1-night cruise with private cabin, captain, and crew. With 49 yachts offering overnight capability, you can explore far beyond day-trip distance — Phi Phi Islands, Similan archipelago, Krabi's karst coastline, and remote islands most visitors never see. Fall asleep to the sound of waves, wake up anchored at a deserted beach, and swim before breakfast.

Why Go Overnight?

A day charter shows you Phuket's nearby islands. An overnight charter unlocks a completely different Thailand — remote anchorages, empty beaches at sunrise, stargazing from the deck, and the luxury of time.

  • Reach further destinations — Similan Islands, southern Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, and beyond
  • No rush — spend as long as you want at each stop, no hurrying back before dark
  • Stargazing at sea — far from light pollution, the Andaman sky is spectacular
  • Sunrise swimming — dive into crystal water before anyone else arrives

Catamaran Charter Phuket — Sailing & Motor Catamarans https://private-yacht.com/catamaran-charter-phuket https://private-yacht.com/catamaran-charter-phuket Catamaran sailing near tropical island

Private catamaran charter in Phuket starts from 22,400 THB per day ($640 USD). Choose from 39 sailing and motor catamarans for 6 to 50 guests. Catamarans offer exceptional stability, spacious decks, and shallow draft — making them the most comfortable way to explore Phuket's islands. All charters include captain, crew, fuel, insurance, and VAT.

Why Choose a Catamaran?

Catamarans are the gold standard for island-hopping in Thailand. Their twin-hull design delivers benefits that no monohull can match:

  • Stability — minimal rocking, even in choppy conditions. Perfect for guests who get seasick on regular boats
  • Space — up to 2x the deck area of a monohull the same length. Enormous sun decks, trampolines, and lounging areas
  • Shallow draft — can anchor closer to beaches and navigate shallow bays that deep-keel yachts can't reach
  • Sailing experience — sailing catamarans offer the romance of wind power with the comfort of modern amenities
  • Multiple cabins — ideal for overnight trips with separate sleeping quarters

Catamaran Types Available in Phuket

Popular Catamaran Routes from Phuket

Phi Phi Islands (Full Day)

A full-day sailing adventure to Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, and Viking Cave. Catamarans handle the 1.5–2 hour crossing smoothly thanks to their twin hulls. Anchor in shallow turquoise bays that monohulls can't reach. From 35,000 THB.

Phang Nga Bay & James Bond Island (Full Day)

Navigate the dramatic limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay. The catamaran's shallow draft lets you sail between towering cliffs and into hidden lagoons. Visit James Bond Island and the floating village of Koh Panyee. From 30,000 THB.

Catamarans are ideal for overnight charters with multiple private cabins, full galley, and en-suite bathrooms. Wake up anchored at a deserted island, swim before breakfast, and explore at your own pace. 2-day/1-night from 55,000 THB.

Catamaran Charter Phuket — Sailing & Motor Catamarans https://private-yacht.com/blog/guides/catamaran-charter-phuket https://private-yacht.com/blog/guides/catamaran-charter-phuket Private catamaran charter in Phuket starts from 22,400 THB per day ($640 USD). Choose from 39 sailing and motor catamarans for 6 to 50 guests. Catamarans offer exceptional stability, spacious decks, and shallow draft — making them the most comfortable way to explore Phuket's islands. All charters include captain, crew, fuel, insurance, and VAT.

Why Choose a Catamaran?

Catamarans are the gold standard for island-hopping in Thailand. Their twin-hull design delivers benefits that no monohull can match:

  • Stability — minimal rocking, even in choppy conditions. Perfect for guests who get seasick on regular boats
  • Space — up to 2x the deck area of a monohull the same length. Enormous sun decks, trampolines, and lounging areas
  • Shallow draft — can anchor closer to beaches and navigate shallow bays that deep-keel yachts can't reach
  • Sailing experience — sailing catamarans offer the romance of wind power with the comfort of modern amenities
  • Multiple cabins — ideal for overnight trips with separate sleeping quarters

Catamaran Types Available in Phuket

Popular Catamaran Routes from Phuket

Coral Island & Promthep Cape (Full Day)

The most popular catamaran route. Sail to Coral Island for swimming and snorkeling, with lunch on the spacious deck. Return via Promthep Cape for sunset views. The catamaran's stability makes this trip comfortable for all ages, and the wide trampolines are a hit with kids and sun-seekers alike.

Phi Phi Islands (Full Day)

A full-day sailing adventure to Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, and Viking Cave. Catamarans handle the 1.5–2 hour crossing smoothly thanks to their twin hulls. Anchor in shallow turquoise bays that monohulls can't reach. From 35,000 THB.

Phang Nga Bay & James Bond Island (Full Day)

Navigate the dramatic limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay. The catamaran's shallow draft lets you sail between towering cliffs and into hidden lagoons. Visit James Bond Island and the floating village of Koh Panyee. From 30,000 THB.

Overnight & Multi-Day Cruises

Catamarans are ideal for overnight charters with multiple private cabins, full galley, and en-suite bathrooms. Wake up anchored at a deserted island, swim before breakfast, and explore at your own pace. 2-day/1-night from 55,000 THB.

Phuket Sunset Cruise — Private Yacht from 22,400 THB https://private-yacht.com/phuket-sunset-cruise https://private-yacht.com/phuket-sunset-cruise Golden sunset over the Andaman Sea

A private sunset cruise in Phuket starts from 22,400 THB ($640 USD) for a 2.5–5 hour trip with captain and crew. Watch the sun set over the Andaman Sea from your own yacht while passing Promthep Cape, Phuket's most famous viewpoint — seen from the water, not the crowds. Over 20 sunset cruise options available on yachts for 6 to 50 guests.

Sunset Cruise Options in Phuket

Every Phuket sunset cruise follows the island's spectacular west coast, where the sun drops into the Andaman Sea in a blaze of orange and purple. Most cruises include a swimming stop at a nearby island, snorkeling, and drinks on deck as the sky lights up.

Cruise TypeDurationPrice FromHighlights

Party Yacht Sunset3.5–5 hours47,100 THBLarge yacht (30–50 guests), DJ-ready, celebrations

Best Sunset Cruise Routes

Promthep Cape Cruise (2.5–3.5h)

The classic Phuket sunset experience. Depart Chalong Bay in the late afternoon, cruise south past Nai Harn Beach, and watch the sunset from the water right at Promthep Cape — the same view that draws hundreds of tourists to the lookout every evening, but you'll see it from the best seat possible: your own private yacht. Most boats include a stop for swimming or snorkeling at Koh Tapao or Yanui Beach.

Coral Island & Sunset (4–5h)

The most popular option. Spend the afternoon at Coral Island (Koh Hae) — swim in turquoise water, snorkel over coral reefs, relax on the beach. Then cruise back along the coast as the sun sets over Promthep Cape. Perfect balance of island time and sunset magic.

Naka Noi Island Sunset (3h)

A more exclusive route to Phuket's northeast. Visit the pearl farms of Naka Noi Island, swim in calm waters, and watch the sun set with Phang Nga Bay's limestone karsts as your backdrop. Available on select larger yachts.

What to Expect on Your Sunset Cruise

  • Departure: Typically 2:00–3:30 PM from Chalong Pier (exact time varies by season)
  • Swimming & snorkeling stop at a nearby island or bay
  • Open bar or BYOB — most yachts welcome your own drinks, or order a drinks package
  • Sunset viewing from the deck — usually around 6:00–6:30 PM
  • Return to pier after dark, with the coastline lights as your backdrop
  • Snorkeling gear, towels, ice & fresh water included

Optional extras: Gourmet dinner on board (from 1,200 THB/person), birthday cake & decorations, photographer, flower arrangements for proposals, DJ & sound system for parties.
