Looking for a private boat rental in Phuket with real character? This handcrafted wooden boat departs from Chalong Pier for afternoon and full-day cruises around the south of Phuket, with your own crew and nobody else on board. It is a relaxed, family-friendly alternative to a speedboat.
Updated October 2026 by the Phuket Dream Company team (TAT licensed).
The boat was built by a local family with a long background in fishing and boat building, using recycled timber and materials. The result is a spacious, comfortable wooden boat for up to seven guests at the listed price.
Highlights
- Private hire: the boat and crew are just for your group
- Traditional wooden boat with a calm, slow-travel feel
- Choice of routes, including Promthep Cape and Krating Cape, or Coral Island and Koh Lon
- Sunset routes back towards Phuket in the evening
- Departs from Chalong Pier on Phuket’s south-east coast
