Motor yachts in the Phi Phi Islands deliver a level of efficiency and comfort that makes a short charter window feel generous. The two main islands, Ko Phi Phi Don and Ko Phi Phi Leh, sit roughly 40 kilometres south of Krabi in the Andaman Sea, and their combination of sheer limestone cliffs, turquoise water, and sheltered bays is among the most visually arresting in Southeast Asia. A motor yacht covers the key sites in a single day and extends easily into multi-day itineraries linking the archipelago with Phuket, Krabi, and the outer islands.
The motor charter fleet in this region ranges from sleek cruisers to substantial expedition vessels capable of multi-night passages. Guest capacity is typically between four and twelve, with crew of two to five. Air-conditioned cabins, a generous sun deck, and a tender for shallow anchorages are standard across the fleet.
Rates for motor charters in the Phi Phi Islands start at around 90,000 Euros per week for smaller vessels, rising to 550,000 Euros for the largest. The advance provisioning allowance adds approximately 30 percent, covering fuel which can be significant on longer passages, food, and any berthing at Ton Sai Bay.
The season runs from November through April, when the northeast monsoon keeps the Andaman Sea settled and the water clarity at its best for snorkelling and diving on the outer reefs.
