What Our Guests Say

★★★★★

We went out on Ocean Dreams. The whole experience from start to finish was flawless. The boat was bigger than I expected and felt very comfortable and spacious. We headed out to James Bond Island. During the trip we were provided with an amazing lunch prepared onboard. My only wish is that the day was longer. Highly recommend these guys!

Mike E. TripAdvisor

★★★★★

We booked the Jana 43ft sailing catamaran for a private day trip to Ang Thong Marine Park and it was truly the highlight of our stay in Koh Samui. The boat was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The crew was fantastic — professional, friendly, and extremely accommodating. The views were breathtaking, and we enjoyed a delicious lunch on board. A special moment was on the way back — we caught a fish! Highly recommend this experience.

Olga M. TripAdvisor

★★★★★

Best boat experience in Phuket! This was my second time on this beautiful boat, this time for a milestone birthday with family and friends. The organisation pre-journey was great, the service on the day impeccable. We also had food catered on the boat — probably one of the most authentic Thai meals we had. The boat is in amazing form. Safety is at the forefront. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to cruise in style.

Safari TripAdvisor

★★★★★

Did a tour to the Phi Phi Islands via private yacht and it was really top! Communication with the agency was straightforward and my contact Stefan friendly with a pleasant pinch of humor. You can see that a lot of emphasis is placed on good service. Personal requests were taken into consideration and sometimes very spontaneously. The crew was super nice. The food was also not to be despised — altogether 5/5!

Tim Google

★★★★★

During our 2 week Phuket vacation we booked 2 tours with private-yacht.com and were really impressed by the warm and friendly manner of the entire crew. The booking process was uncomplicated and well advised, the boats were very clean and well maintained. What particularly impressed me was the passion with which the guides explained details about the country, people, culture and nature. Thailand and Phuket are beautiful, but from the boat they are simply gorgeous.

Roland S. TripAdvisor

★★★★★

The best choice for private boat! Our crew was so friendly! They took care all the time, they were so helpful and also like professional photographers! Nice fast boat with good quality of speaker for music.
