Phuket bareboat charter costs

Compare a weekly yacht charter in Phuket with a shorter trip of 3 days or more. Rental prices depend on your yacht, dates, duration and selected services.

Yacht rental
Select a yacht and dates to view the rental price. Final cleaning and 7% VAT are part of the charter total. Every yacht includes a watermaker, Wi-Fi, snorkelling gear, two stand-up paddleboards, a kayak and fishing rods at no extra charge.
Paid separately
Fuel (the yacht is delivered with full tanks; refuel before return), national park fees, and food and drinks. We can buy provisions before boarding: goods at cost plus a service fee of 10% of the purchase amount (minimum EUR 100), paid at check-in; send your shopping list at least 72 hours before departure. Generator use costs EUR 5 per hour.
Damage security deposit
Each yacht has a fixed refundable deposit, shown above. It is taken as a credit card pre-authorisation at check-in, before handover.
Adding a professional skipper
A skipper costs EUR 175 per day in addition to yacht rental. The skipper has a separate skipper's cabin and does not use a guest cabin, so your group can use every guest cabin up to the overnight guest limit. No security deposit is required for skippered charters.

Review the booking and payment questions and current charter terms alongside your selected yacht and agreed quotation.
