Yacht charter Similan takes you to Thailand’s most pristine marine sanctuary, a chain of nine granite islands rising from the deep Andaman Sea roughly 60 nautical miles north-west of Phuket, where boulders the size of houses create dramatic swim-throughs on every dive, manta rays circle the cleaning stations at Koh Bon, and the white-sand beaches of Koh Similan (Island… Read more

The park’s limited mid-October-to-mid-May season and strict mooring controls make early booking essential. For the prime February to April manta season, six to eight months’ lead time is strongly recommended. November to January offers excellent visibility and slightly broader availability, and can sometimes be arranged five to six months ahead at softer rates.
Yes. All visitors require a Similan National Park entrance ticket, and yacht moorings within the park are controlled and limited. Overnight anchoring is permitted at designated mooring buoys on specific islands. Your Boatcrowd broker pre-arranges all park permits, mooring reservations, and dive registrations before your charter begins.
The base rate covers the yacht, professional crew, insurance, and dive equipment on most vessels. Fuel, provisions, beverages, national-park fees, and specialist dive-guide services are funded through the APA (30 to 35% of the charter fee). Thai VAT at 7% applies, and any unspent APA is refunded at the end of the voyage.
Yes, the passage from Phuket to the Similans takes roughly six to eight hours, making a combined itinerary practical over a five-to-seven-day charter. The Surin Islands lie further north and offer equally pristine reefs plus the fascinating Moken sea-nomad stilt villages. Your Boatcrowd broker designs the routing around park-access schedules, mooring availability, and your dive-experience level.
Yacht charter Similan takes you to Thailand’s most pristine marine sanctuary, a chain of nine granite islands rising from the deep Andaman Sea roughly 60 nautical miles north-west of Phuket, where boulders the size of houses create dramatic swim-throughs on every dive, manta rays circle the cleaning stations at Koh Bon, and the white-sand beaches of Koh Similan (Island 8) are backed by virgin jungle untouched by any permanent settlement. The Similans draw from Thailand’s fleet of over 50 charter yachts: 68′-98′ motor yachts with dive platforms for accessing the outer pinnacles, 100′+ superyachts equipped for multi-day liveaboard-style cruising, and 55′+ catamarans whose stability suits the open-water passage from the mainland.
The national park is open only from mid-October to mid-May, the optimal window runs November to April, with 28 to 30°C water, visibility exceeding 30 metres, and peak manta activity at Koh Bon and Richelieu Rock from February to April. Daily rates start from approximately $3,500/day, climbing to $7,500+/day on latest-model yachts above 78′, plus 7% Thai VAT, Similan National Park fees, and 30 to 35% APA for fuel, provisions, and dive logistics. The Similans’ extraordinary appeal is exclusivity by regulation, strict park controls, an annual monsoon closure, and a ban on overnight land-based tourism mean these reefs remain among the healthiest in Southeast Asia, and arriving by private yacht is the most comfortable way to experience them without the constraints of a liveaboard schedule.
