Yacht & boat charters in Pattaya

From Pattaya you can book a private boat for a few hours or a full day — catamarans for families, speedboats for island hops, or larger yachts for celebrations. Most charter companies use Ocean Marina; Bali Hai Pier is mainly for Koh Larn passenger ferries. Below we list companies and piers we found useful for planning. Pattaya.com does not sell trips — call and book with the company you choose.

Prices and available boats change often. Before you pay, ask each company for a written quote and confirm the pier, trip length, and what is included (food, fuel, park fees).

Best boat type for families?

For most families — especially with kids — a catamaran (twin-hull boat) is the easiest choice: wide decks, less rocking, room to walk safely, good photo spots, and a calmer ride than a fast, bumpy speedboat.

Families & relaxed sunsets

Private boats with crew, food on board, and calmer decks — good when you have kids or older guests.

Main piers

Private charters usually board at Ocean Marina. Bali Hai Pier is where Koh Larn passenger boats leave — easy to confuse if your driver only hears “the pier”.

Highlights

Good fit if: Reference only — compare with Ocean Marina so your driver does not drop you at the wrong pier.

Note: Some operators say 'Pattaya pier' — confirm Ocean Marina vs Bali Hai in writing.

Rough prices (whole boat)

Your final price depends on how many people join, how many hours you book, the route, meals, and whether you pick a weekend or sunset slot. Always ask for a written quote.

Private speedboat~5,000–15,000+ THB
Family catamaran~15,000–40,000 THB
Large luxury yacht~40,000–200,000+ THB

Weekends, sunset-only trips, and high season cost more. If you can, leave in the morning — the sea is usually calmer.

Common routes

Times and marine park fees vary — confirm both with the company before you pay.

Pattaya & Koh Larn day

Leave Pattaya Bay, stop at Koh Larn for swimming, add a snorkel point, and head back around sunset if you booked a long enough slot.

Koh Khrok (Monkey Island)

Loop past the monkey island area with a snorkel stop — ask the captain about afternoon waves before you book.

Sunset cruise only

About three hours inside the bay — many companies offer a shorter trip just for sunset photos and drinks.

Traveling with kids

Usually easier

  • Catamaran (wider deck)
  • Half-day trip
  • Leave in the morning
  • Shaded areas on deck

Can be harder

  • Very fast speedboats
  • Full day in strong midday sun
  • Party boats with loud music

Does a private boat make sense for 6–10 people?

If you split the cost, a private charter is often similar to paying for several tour tickets — but you choose the schedule, stop where you want to swim, and the kids are not squeezed on a crowded deck. It feels very different from a packed ferry.

What to know before you book

Choose your time slot, check sea conditions, and confirm every detail in writing before you pay a deposit. This page is editorial only — no ads or commissions.

  • Choose departure time

    Morning trips often have calmer wind and clearer water — better for swimming and relaxing on deck. Late afternoon to evening suits sunset views and photos when the light is softer.

  • Check sea conditions

    During monsoon season the bay can be rough and the boat may rock a lot. Many operators reschedule instead of giving a full refund. If anyone in your group gets seasick easily — especially children — ask the captain or office one day ahead.

  • What is included in the price?

    Quotes differ: some include meals, drinking water, paddle boards, and snorkel gear; others charge each extra separately. Ask in writing about fuel, marine park fees, and what happens if you return late.

  • Traveling with young children

    Before you book, ask about child-sized life jackets, toilets on board, and whether there is an air-conditioned cabin. These details matter a lot on a 3–4 hour trip at sea.

  • Confirm the correct pier

    Private yacht charters usually leave from Ocean Marina. Ferries to Koh Larn leave from Bali Hai Pier. Tell your driver exactly which pier — it is easy to be dropped at the wrong gate.

    Pattaya.com does not book charters or receive commission. Contact operators directly and only pay people you trust.
