Rent a Yacht in Phuket, Thailand: Longtail & Speedboat Days
Your day, your pace — a private longtail or speedboat in Thailand, with up to 8 hours of freedom, sunshine and turquoise water for the people you love.
Forget the packed tour boats. A private, crewed yacht rental in Thailand turns an ordinary day into your own floating sanctuary for up to eight hours. From Rawai Pier on Phuket’s quiet southern tip, you slip away on a hand-built longtail or a fast speedboat — your captain, your crew, your route. No schedules, no strangers, just your group and the Andaman Sea.
️ Your 8-Hour Island Escape from Rawai Pier
Board at Rawai Pier around 9:00 AM. Your captain reads the day’s wind and tide, then charts a course south — perhaps the empty beaches of Bon Island, the snorkel gardens off Koh Racha, or the towering cliffs of Phang Nga Bay. With eight hours ahead there’s real time for two or three unforgettable stops, a long lunch at anchor and plenty of swimming.

These eight-hour charters suit couples, families and small groups who want a true escape from the crowds. Every boat comes with a professional captain and crew who handle navigation, safety and service, so you only need to focus on each other and the sea.

Did you know?
Rawai Pier sits on Phuket’s southern tip — the last stop before open ocean. Local Sea Gypsies, the Chao Ley, have fished these waters for centuries and still launch from the same beach. Charter captains swear the fishing is better here because the shelf drops away fast. Verovali ili ne — your skipper knows exactly where the big ones hide.

Feeling the Vibe?
Koh Racha — “Racha” means “King” in Thai — was once a royal retreat and still feels like it. The water there is so clear that boats look like they’re floating on air. Locals say the sand is whiter than anywhere on Phuket. Come see for yourself — and bring your snorkel.

A Secret for You…
Center console boats like the Silvercraft were born in Florida for chasing tarpon in the mangroves. Twin outboards, shallow draft, no frills — pure fishing machine. Now one runs the Andaman. Charter captains here say the S33 punches above its size when the tuna are running off Rawai. The locals won’t advertise that spot. Your skipper will.
Luxury Longtail
- Hand-crafted wooden longtail — the soul of the Andaman
- Perfect for twilight cruises past emerald peaks
- Snorkeling equipment and life jackets included
- Fresh fruit, soft drinks and snacks on board
- ✈️ Private crew included
️ The Best Part?
Longtail boats are powered by recycled truck engines — literally. A 100-year-old Isuzu or Toyota diesel, bolted to a propeller on a long shaft, steered by hand. No gearbox, no electronics, no backup. Just one man, one engine, and the whole Andaman. That’s the best part: raw, honest seamanship. And for eight hours, it’s all yours.
VIP Longtail
- Golden-hour cruises beneath towering limestone cliffs
- ️ Reaches hidden lagoons and pristine beaches
- Handcrafted wooden vessel — heritage on the water
- Comfortable for up to ten guests

Did you know?
Phang Nga Bay’s limestone karsts are older than the Himalayas — around 280 million years. They were once coral reefs, pushed up and carved by rain into the towers you see today. James Bond Island is just one of hundreds. Most visitors see five. Your captain knows the ones with no name on any map.
