The sailor difference

Why charter with sailors, not a website.

We've worked every job aboard — crew, captain, boat manager, owner. That experience plans your trip.

How it works

Run by real sailors

Our founders worked every job aboard — crew, captain, boat manager, owner. That experience plans your trip.

Vetted operators only

Every operator is checked onsite and across all major review platforms. We do not list every yacht, but only the good ones — and we can tell you why.

Final Price Guarantee

We name every cost upfront. The only things not included are damages and consumption (if excluded) — nothing else, no surprises.

The best day of our trip — by a mile. Captain Anan read the water like a book.

Real crew, real food, no nonsense. We chartered every yacht in Phuket once. None come close.

Lunch on board was the moment my partner decided we were moving to Thailand.

Booked late, got a sunset cruise instead of a day. Better outcome. They handled the swap in 20 minutes.

Good to know

Your questions, answered.

Still wondering something? Message the crew on WhatsApp — we reply fast.

How far in advance should I book?
Two weeks for a day charter, four weeks for a multi-day voyage. High season (December–February) tends to book six weeks out. We hold late availability — message us on WhatsApp if you're inside two weeks.
What's included in the price?
Crew, fuel, mooring fees, plated lunch with fresh seafood and salads, soft drinks and beer, snorkelling gear, stand-up paddleboards, and a kayak. House wine is optional. The crew never expects tips.
What if the weather turns?
The captain calls it the day before. If conditions don't allow a safe departure we offer a free reschedule or full refund. We don't sail if it's not enjoyable.
Can you cater for dietary needs?
Yes — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher all handled. Tell us at booking and the chef builds the day's menu around it.
Where do we meet?
Bangrak pier on the north-east coast of Koh Samui. We send pier directions, a captain's phone, and a meet-point pin 24 hours before departure.
Is overnight stay comfortable?
Three private cabins on SY Amadeus, en-suite heads. Linen, towels, mosquito-free, USB charging. Most guests find sleeping on the water easier than expected.
