Yacht rental in Pattaya

Two hours from Bangkok, your own deck

No ferry, no shared deck. Two hours from Bangkok, the group is on its own boat with the music up and Koh Larn ahead.

Every boat leaves Ocean Marina Yacht Club in Jomtien, Southeast Asia's largest marina with 455 berths. Koh Larn is about 30 minutes away on a cruising yacht.

Fully crewed, every boat. Hold Saturday's boat; Tanner confirms it the same day.

Five boats out of Ocean Marina

Pick by the size of the group and the kind of day you want. The bigger the boat, the bigger the deck for the DJ, and each one is priced for the boat and your date.

Not sure which? Give Tanner your head count.

Twelve of you on the boat for a day

Twelve of you fit the Pattaya boat day with room to spare. Add the DJ and the bar, and the day is set. For 17 to 20, the sailing catamaran puts everyone on one deck; for speed, take the motor yacht.

Cars to the marina are matched to your plan.

Give Tanner your date and your number; the price comes back the same day.

Koh Larn, then a quiet bay

The classic Pattaya yacht charter day goes to Koh Larn, the coral island off Pattaya.

• Koh Larn has white beaches, clear water and a swim off the boat.
• Then a quieter bay for a swim, away from the day-trip crowds.
• At sunset the boat anchors off the islands for the last light, then heads back to the marina.

Back on shore, the car takes you to the villa or Walking Street. See Pattaya villas.

When the Gulf is calm

Pattaya's rains run from May to October, and September has the most rain and the roughest seas. November to April is the dry season, with calm seas.

In the wet months the captain makes the call that morning, and Tanner moves your day if the sea turns. Pick your month; the weather is handled.

• The DJ sets up on the flybridge as you clear the marina.
• Champagne at anchor, cold beer on the run home, all poured by the crew.
• Thai party models dance with the DJ and keep the deck moving.
• A photographer, ฿10,000 for the day, catches every swim and the sunset toast.

A birthday cake or a banner for the groom goes on board before you do. Name it when you hold the boat.

What is the 12-guest rule?

Under Thailand's Navigation in Thai Waters Act, a boat carrying more than 12 passengers counts as a passenger vessel and can't carry more people than its licence allows, the Marine Department's law database shows.

Each boat lists its own limit. A big group takes the party catamaran, or two boats side by side.

Licensed captains, and the captain has the last word. Ask Tanner how many each boat takes.

How the day runs

Late morning, the car collects you from the hotel or the villa and drops you at the pontoon in Jomtien.

The crew has the bar cold before you board. The DJ starts as the boat clears the marina.

Half an hour later you're anchored off Koh Larn in clear water, the swim ladder down.

Lunch is served on deck at anchor, then a slow run to a quieter bay for another swim.

Insider tip: ask for the late slot when you hold the boat, so the last hour is the sunset off the islands, not the run home in the midday sun.

Catamaran, motor yacht or superyacht?

Tanner's pick: for 12 to 20, take the sailing catamaran. It's steady at anchor, the deck takes a DJ, and everyone fits on one boat.

For 8 to 15 who want speed and a sleek look, the motor yacht covers more islands in fewer hours.

For a big birthday or the whole company, the superyacht or the party catamaran is the one people talk about after. A superyacht can also stay out for three days, priced for the yacht and the route.

Going for the smallest boat to save money? For a party, a boat too small for the group ends the day early. Just hopping across for a swim? A speedboat makes Koh Larn in 15 to 20 minutes.

Give Tanner the head count, and he names the boat. Plan it with Tanner.
