️ Your 8-Hour Couples’ Escape from Chalong Pier

Route map for an 8-hour private yacht charter from Chalong Pier in Thailand

Board around 9:00 AM at Chalong Pier, the island’s main gateway to the southern islands. Your captain reads the day’s wind and swell, then charts a course — perhaps the clear shallows of Coral Island, the quiet lagoons of Racha Yai, or a slow drift past Promthep Cape. Eight hours is generous: two or three anchorages, a long lunch, and time to simply float.

Show details
Morning — cast off & first swim. After a welcome drink and a quick safety brief, you leave the pier and head south. Within forty minutes the crew drops anchor at your first snorkel spot — calm, clear, and often yours alone.
Midday — lunch at anchor & water play. The crew serves lunch in a sheltered bay while you float on the paddle board, snorkel the reef, or just lie on the sunbeds with a cold drink and zero plans.
Insider tip: Ask your captain to time the return past Promthep Cape for golden hour — the light on the water there is the photo your partner will never delete.

Italian Style

Azimut 50ft, Motor Yacht

Azimut 50ft Italian luxury motor yacht for private charter in Thailand

  • ️ Two cabins and space for up to 11 guests
  • Wi-Fi, Bluetooth sound system and air conditioning
  • Welcome drink, soft drinks, snacks and fresh fruit

A sporty 50-footer with Italian lines and a genuinely comfortable salon — perfect for a couple who wants speed and style without overspending.

Did you know?

Chalong Pier looks calm and innocent — but it sits at the mouth of Chalong Bay, the single busiest charter gateway in all of Thailand. On a peak morning, over a hundred boats clear this water before 10 AM. Bookers who sleep in get the leftovers. The ones who move first? They get the empty bay. Tell that to your competition.

Classic Elegance

46ft Azimut Yacht

46ft Azimut yacht with spacious decks for private charter in Phuket, Thailand

  • ️ Three cozy cabins and generous seating for up to 12 guests
  • TV with Netflix for a lazy afternoon below deck
  • Minivan transfer to the marina included
  • ⛽ Fuel included in the charter price
  • ‍✈️ Private crew included
A 2005 Azimut with timeless lines and three cabins — a smart pick for couples who want space to spread out and a shaded deck to retreat to. Spacious bow sunpads make it feel far bigger than 46 feet. It is the quiet achiever of the fleet: refined interior, easy ride, and a price that leaves room for a proper dinner ashore afterwards.

Feeling the Vibe?

Azimut has been building boats in Avigliana, Italy since 1969 — and in 1985 they launched a 100-footer that the industry literally called impossible. Today they are the largest yacht builder in the world by units. That hull under you? It descends from a line of Italian stubbornness. Bookers love knowing that.

Couples’ Favorite

Princess V39

Princess V39 sport yacht with sunbeds for private charter in Phuket, Thailand

  • Paddle boards, snorkeling gear and Wi-Fi on board

A Secret for You…

Princess Yachts started in a Plymouth garage in 1965 — and the V-Class line is still built on the same south-coast English waterfront that once launched Royal Navy warships. Three generations of shipwrights, same water, same obsession. And tonight the most important launch of all is your table for two.

⭐ Top Pick — Likely to Sell Out

Bertram 50ft

Affordable Catamaran & Yacht Charters for Couples in Phuket, Thailand

  • Striking black hull and sleek lines — the most photographed boat at the pier
  • Fishing equipment on board for a proper sport-fishing session
  • ️ Two cabins and room for up to 13 guests
  • Paddle boards, snorkeling gear and a tender for beach landings
  • ‍✈️ Private crew included
A legendary sport-fishing hull reborn as a luxury cruiser — black, bold and built for couples who want a story to tell. Two cabins, a tender, fishing gear and a full crew make it the most versatile pick in the fleet. It is the one everybody stops to photograph at Chalong Pier. Be the ones stepping aboard instead.

️ The Best Part?

Bertram built its reputation in the 1960s by winning offshore races nobody thought a boat that size could survive — the hull design became a legend in sport-fishing circles worldwide. So when your captain opens the throttle and the black hull punches through the swell, that is not marketing. That is sixty years of American racing DNA under your feet. And for eight hours, it answers only to you.
