Yacht Charters Co.

A Thailand-based superyacht broker with a wide list at the top of the market, working mainly out of Royal Phuket Marina.

What you would not get from their own site

  • Established as a superyacht desk in Thailand rather than as a global brand with a local office, so the local knowledge is first-hand.
  • The listing is broad at the large end and thin below about 20 metres.
  • Based at Royal Phuket Marina, whose berths stop at 35 metres, so larger charters board at Ao Po instead.
  • Publishes indicative day rates, which is more than most of the superyacht end does, though a published rate is a starting point rather than a quote.

Charter licence

How this operator handles it

Superyacht brokerage. Licence position sits with each yacht's management company.

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?

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.
