Yacht Party in Phuket

A yacht party is the one format Phuket does better than almost anywhere. It is also the format where the gap between a good day and a ruined one is widest, and the difference is almost never the boat.

What we organise

The vessel and crew, matched to your group size and the kind of day you want — yachts and catamarans for anything from 3 to 500 guests. The route — Phi Phi, James Bond Island, Coral Island, Racha, or a sunset loop that stays close to shore. Sound on board, which is a specialist job. A DJ or live act. Catering and a bar. Decor, photography and video.

Sound on a boat is not sound on land

This is where charters usually disappoint. A boat moves, salt spray destroys unprotected equipment, and the power available on board is a fraction of what a venue supplies. Systems that were not planned for those three facts either fail or are too quiet to hear over the engine and the wind. We bring our own equipment, secured and protected, sized to what the vessel can actually power.

Formats

• Sunset cruise — three to four hours, the most popular option and the easiest to get right
• Full-day island trip with swimming and snorkelling stops
• Birthday and celebration charters with decor, cake and a full sound setup
• Corporate charters and incentive days
• Proposals and romantic charters for two

What decides whether it works

Sea conditions, mainly. Between May and October the weather turns quickly, and the difference between a beautiful day and a miserable one is often a decision made the morning of. We watch the forecast and will tell you honestly when a date looks bad — moving a charter is a far better outcome than running it in a swell.

To arrange it

Tell us the date, the number of guests and the occasion. We propose a vessel and a plan.
