Motor yachts from Phuket have the range to cover the best of the Andaman Sea in a single charter week. Phuket sits at the northern end of the Andaman’s island chain, giving motor charters immediate access south to the Phi Phi Islands, Ko Lanta, and the outer reefs, and north to the Similan and Surin island archipelagos and the coastline of Phang Nga Bay. Speed is a genuine advantage here: the distances between Phuket’s best sites make a motor yacht the practical choice for anyone wanting to cover real ground.
The motor fleet based in or visiting Phuket includes vessels from 30 to 70 metres, with crews ranging from three to twelve depending on yacht size. Air-conditioned cabins, substantial sun deck, a tender for shore access, and a well-stocked water toy kit are standard across the range.
Rates for motor charters in Phuket start at around 90,000 Euros per week for smaller vessels and reach 550,000 Euros for the largest. The advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent accounts for fuel, which represents a meaningful cost on any extended motor charter, alongside food and any national park fees.
The northeast monsoon season from November through April is the recommended period, offering settled seas and consistent visibility for both snorkelling and diving on the outer reefs.
