️ Your 8-Hour Island Escape

Route planning for an 8-hour private yacht charter from Ao Po Grand Marina in southern Thailand

Board at Ao Po Grand Marina around 9:00 AM — a far calmer, prettier corner of Phuket than the tourist-heavy west coast. Your captain charts a course by the day’s conditions: perhaps the limestone towers of Phang Nga Bay, the hidden lagoon of Koh Hong, or the empty beaches of Koh Yao Noi. Eight hours buys you two or three unforgettable stops, a proper lunch at anchor and as much swimming as you can handle.

Show details
Morning — depart & first swim stop. After a smooth 9:00 AM boarding and a welcome drink, you cruise north-east toward your first snorkel spot. The crew anchors in calm water so you can jump straight in and explore the marine life of Thailand’s Andaman waters.
Midday — lunch at anchor & water fun. Your crew anchors in a sheltered bay where lunch is served. Afterwards, take out the paddle boards or snorkel gear, or simply stay on deck with a cold drink while the sun warms you.
Insider tip: Ao Po sits on the sheltered east side, so even in peak season you’re usually cruising flat water while the west-coast boats bounce. Leave before 9:30 AM and you’ll reach Phang Nga Bay ahead of the day-trip flotilla.

Fast & Sporty

  • Paddle boards and snorkeling equipment included
  • Bluetooth sound system for your own playlist at sea

Did you know?

Ten thousand years ago you could WALK from Phuket to Krabi — no sea, just dry land. Today your yacht sails straight over that drowned valley. Tell your captain that one and watch his face. He’ll pretend he knew. He didn’t.

Italian Classic

46ft Azimut Yacht

46ft Azimut yacht with Italian design anchored in Thailand

  • Timeless Italian design with spacious sun decks
  • TV with Netflix and a well-equipped salon
  • Minivan transfer to the marina arranged for you
  • ️ Three cozy cabins for shade and privacy
  • ‍✈️ Private crew included
A 46-foot Azimut with room for up to 12 guests across three cabins — refined enough for a business gathering, relaxed enough for a family day out. The generous decks and elegant salon make every hour feel like a slow, stylish Mediterranean afternoon.

Feeling the Vibe?

Hollywood bulldozed Maya Bay’s sand to fake “perfect paradise” — then the tourists nearly finished the job. Four years closed. Sharks patrol it now. And your captain knows three bays just as beautiful where no film crew ever stepped foot.

Swim Platform Star

58ft Cranchi Yacht (Scenery)

58ft Cranchi Fly yacht with hydraulic swimming platform in Thailand

  • Hydraulic swimming platform — step straight into the sea
  • Snorkeling and fishing equipment on board
  • A bottle of wine waiting when you board
  • ️ Three stylish cabins and two bathrooms
  • ‍✈️ Private crew included
The Cranchi Fly 58 welcomes up to 18 guests with three cabins and two bathrooms — a 2016 Italian build that handles big family gatherings and private celebrations with ease. That hydraulic swim platform is the star: no ladders, no wobbling, just lower the deck and glide into the sea.

A Secret for You…

Word on the docks is that Ao Po’s east-coast captains keep a private list of anchorages they never share with the west-side crowd. Flat water, no jet skis, no day-trippers. Ask nicely on board — sometimes the list opens for a good tipper.

️ The Best Part?

Grand Banks has been building these trawlers since 1956 — the Rolls-Royce of the slow lane. While the speedboats race past burning fuel, Sambuca glides. And here’s the insider truth: the best lunch spot on the Andaman is the one only a patient boat can reach.

Several boats here also add snorkel gear, paddle boards, towels, a welcome drink and even a minivan transfer to the marina — check each yacht’s live page for exact inclusions.

Do we need sailing experience to rent a crewed yacht in Thailand?

No — every yacht here is fully crewed. The captain and crew handle navigation, anchoring and safety for the whole day, so you simply relax and enjoy.

Which islands can a mid-size motor yacht reach from Ao Po Grand Marina?

Phang Nga Bay with James Bond Island and the Koh Hong lagoon are the classic run; with calmer seas, Koh Yao Noi, Koh Naka Yai or even the Phi Phi islands work within an eight-hour day. Your captain picks the route to match the sea.

How many guests fit on a 46–65ft yacht for a day charter in Phuket?

It varies by boat: the Azimut 46 and Portofino 53 take around 8–12 guests, the Cranchi 58 and Princess 60 welcome up to 16–18, and the 42ft Sport Cruiser carries up to 20. All are ideal for groups of 8–15.

How far ahead should we book a private yacht in high season?

Is the yacht private for just our group?

Yes — when you rent through yacht.day the entire yacht is yours, with no strangers aboard. The captain and crew serve only your group throughout the day.
