Aree Power Boat

Aree is a 18ft (60m) power boat built in 2004 by Custom Made, based in Phuket, Thailand. Designed to cover ground quickly and give guests access to multiple destinations in a single day, she carries up to 25 passengers with a crew of 3, cruising at 10 knots with a top speed of 12 knots.

The Day Charter Experience

Speed is the advantage. Where larger yachts may visit one or two anchorages in a day, Aree can string together a full island-hopping itinerary from Phuket – beach stops, snorkeling sites, clifftop views, and a waterfront lunch – all before returning by evening. The crew knows the waters around Phuket intimately and builds each day around guest preferences, weather, and the best conditions for swimming and sightseeing. The open layout means everyone has a good view, and the feeling of moving quickly across open water is part of the thrill.

Activities

Despite her compact size, Aree carries 6 pieces of water sports equipment, including quality snorkeling gear for exploring reefs and rocky coastline. At each stop, guests choose between active exploration and simply soaking up the scenery from the deck. Lunch can be served on board or arranged at a waterfront restaurant during one of the day’s stops.

Where to Go

Operating from Phuket, Aree covers the highlights of Thailand in Southeast Asia. The best months are Jan, Feb, Mar, Dec, when visibility is excellent and seas are settled. A power boat charter is one of the most efficient and affordable ways to see the best of Thailand – perfect for guests with limited time who want maximum variety, or for anyone looking to explore multiple locations in a single, action-packed day.
