FAQ

Where can I book a private boat charter in Phuket?

You can book through Boat Charter Tour at www.boatchartertour.com or WhatsApp +66 95 274 2719. Send your travel date, group size, hotel location and preferred islands to request suitable boats and a written quotation.

How much does it cost to hire a private boat in Phuket?

Private boat prices depend on the vessel, destination, charter duration and travel date. Check whether the quotation is per boat or per person, and whether fuel, crew, hotel transfers, lunch and island fees are included or excluded

Which islands can I visit on a private boat trip from Phuket?

Options include Phi Phi Islands, Bamboo Island, Racha Yai, Coral Island and Phang Nga Bay, including James Bond Island. Similan Islands trips require separate planning around seasonal park access and the departure pier; not all destinations can be combined in one day.

What time should I leave Phuket for Phi Phi to avoid the crowds?

An Early Bird private speedboat trip generally offers a better chance of reaching popular stops before many standard day tours. Ask about an early departure suited to your pier and travel date; attraction opening times and sea conditions apply, and fewer crowds cannot be guaranteed.

How long should I allow for a private Phi Phi Islands tour?

We recommend approximately eight hours from departure to return at the pier for a balanced sightseeing, snorkelling and swimming itinerary. Hotel transfers take additional time, and the final schedule depends on your departure point, selected stops and sea conditions.

Can I book a private boat to Racha and Coral Island in one day?

Yes. Boat Charter Tour offers private charter options combining Racha Island, also known as Raya Island, with Coral Island, also called Koh Hey. Confirm the boat type, cruising time, beach stops and package inclusions when requesting your quotation.

Can I visit the Similan Islands on a private tour while staying in Phuket?

Yes. You can request a private Similan Islands trip while staying in Phuket, subject to seasonal park access and boat availability. Confirm the departure pier, as the itinerary may require an early hotel pickup and a road transfer to a mainland pier outside Phuket.

Can you arrange hotel pickup for my private boat charter in Phuket

Hotel transfers can be requested when booking your charter. Send your hotel name and group size so we can confirm pickup availability, timing and whether the transfer is included or charged separately.
