PHUKETYacht Charter
Day charter

5 Star Marine

A large Chalong day fleet of speedboats and catamarans, and the operator that publishes the clearest public breakdown of Thai national park fees.

What you would not get from their own site

  • Publishes current national park fees by park and by category, which is the single most useful piece of free information any Phuket operator puts online.
  • Day charters only: Phi Phi, the Rachas, Phang Nga and Coral Island, out and back.
  • Thai-flagged local fleet, so the superyacht charter licence does not apply. Different regime, not an absent one.
  • The right first step for a family that wants to find out whether anyone gets seasick before committing to a week.

Charter licence

How this operator handles it

Thai-flagged day fleet operating under local commercial rules rather than under the superyacht charter licence regime.

Not on public record means no public statement was found. It is not a claim that a licence is missing, and the two are genuinely different. The licence belongs to the individual yacht and its management company, so inside one fleet the answer changes from hull to hull. What the licence covers.

  1. Ask them these five
  2. 01What flag does the yacht fly, and is it Thai or foreign?
  3. 02If it is foreign-flagged and 24 metres or longer, what is the Superyacht Charter Licence reference and when does it expire?
  4. 03Who is the Thai fiscal representative for the charter, and are they a TYBA member agent?
  5. 04Will the charter agreement name the yacht, the owning company and the licence, or only the broker?
  6. 05Is the 7 percent Thai VAT shown separately on the invoice, and against which company's tax number?

    The Thai-flagged day fleet: a crewed catamaran for up to twenty people, out of Chalong, priced in baht rather than dollars. Not a luxury charter, but the honest first step before committing to one.

Routes they run, and in which version

Operators rarely run an identical itinerary. The variant matters more than the name: a four-night version of a five-night route has dropped a destination, and it is usually the furthest one.

How this profile was written

From public sources: the operator's own website, published rates and itineraries, and marina and association listings. Nothing on this page comes from the operator reviewing it first, and nothing on it was paid for.

Where a fact is not publicly stated, the profile says so instead of guessing. If you operate this business and something here is wrong or has changed, the methodology page explains how corrections are made.
