Pattaya Itineraries: Day Charters and Multi-Day Routes
Pattaya’s Gulf-coast position offers sheltered, accessible cruising with island stops within easy reach. The itineraries below cover different ground, so guests looking at a 3-day and 4-day route can combine them into a 7-day Gulf exploration without repeating a stop.
Day Charter Routes from Pattaya
Koh Larn Island Day
Depart Ocean Marina and cruise 30 minutes west to Koh Larn. Anchor off Tawaen Beach for a morning swim and snorkel, cruise to the quieter Samae Beach for lunch on the aft deck, and explore Tien Beach’s clear, shallow waters in the afternoon. Return to the marina for sundowners as the Pattaya skyline lights up.
Pattaya Sunset Cruise
An afternoon departure from Ocean Marina for a twilight cruise along the Pattaya coast. Cocktails on the flybridge, Thai appetisers on the aft deck, and a front-row seat for the sunset over the Gulf. Return to the marina under the stars. Ideal for celebrations, corporate entertaining and romantic evenings.
Southern Islands Explorer
A full-day charter heading south from Pattaya toward the smaller Gulf islands. Snorkelling stops at rocky reefs, a beach lunch on a quiet stretch of sand, and the chance to explore coastline that most Pattaya visitors never see. Return to Ocean Marina by late afternoon.
3-Day Pattaya Yacht Charter Itinerary: Gulf Islands and Coastal Discoveries
Day 1: Ocean Marina to Koh Larn
Board your yacht at Ocean Marina Jomtien by mid-morning. Cruise 30 minutes to Koh Larn and spend the day exploring the island’s six beaches – Tawaen for the morning swim, Samae for lunch, and the quieter southern beaches (Tien, Nual) for afternoon snorkelling. Your chef serves a Thai seafood dinner on the aft deck as the sun sets over the Gulf, with the lights of Pattaya twinkling to the east.
Day 2: Koh Larn to Koh Sichang
Cruise north to Koh Sichang, a historically significant island with a former royal summer palace, Chinese temples and a quiet fishing-village atmosphere. Explore the palace ruins, visit the hilltop Chao Pho Khao Yai shrine for panoramic views, and swim off the island’s western beaches. A different character entirely from Koh Larn – cultural, peaceful and full of local charm.
Day 3: Koh Sichang to Ang Sila, Return to Pattaya
Morning cruise to Ang Sila, a coastal town famous for its fresh seafood market and generations-old stone-mortar carving tradition. Step ashore to browse the market, pick up fresh oysters and local provisions, and return to the yacht for a farewell gourmet lunch on the aft deck. Arrive back at Ocean Marina by late afternoon.
4-Day Pattaya Yacht Charter Itinerary: Koh Samet and the Eastern Gulf
Day 1: Ocean Marina to Koh Larn
Board at Ocean Marina by mid-morning. Cruise to Koh Larn for a day of beach hopping, snorkelling and water sports across the island’s six beaches. Overnight at anchor off Koh Larn’s quieter southern shore.
Day 2: Koh Larn to Koh Samet
Depart Koh Larn and cruise roughly 30 nautical miles southeast to Koh Samet, a national-park island with white-sand beaches and calm, clear waters. Anchor off Sai Kaew Beach (the island’s longest and most popular) for a swim, then cruise to the quieter Ao Phai or Ao Cho for an afternoon of complete tranquillity. Dinner ashore at a beachfront restaurant or on the aft deck under the stars.
Day 3: Koh Samet Exploration
A full day exploring Koh Samet’s southern beaches and rocky headlands. Snorkel off the quieter southern coves, hike to the viewpoint above Ao Kiu for panoramic views, and enjoy a long, lazy afternoon on the beach with your crew handling everything. Evening beach barbecue on a secluded stretch of sand.
Day 4: Koh Samet to Pattaya
A morning swim at your favourite Koh Samet beach, followed by a farewell brunch on the aft deck as the yacht begins the return cruise to Pattaya. Arrive at Ocean Marina by mid-afternoon, relaxed, sun-kissed and thoroughly spoilt.
Guests looking for a full week can combine the 3-day Gulf Islands route (Koh Larn, Koh Sichang, Ang Sila) with the 4-day Koh Samet itinerary for a comprehensive 7-day Gulf of Thailand charter – or, with a longer passage, extend to Koh Samui and beyond for an 8-day grand Gulf adventure.
