Liveaboard Diving Charters from Phuket

Full boat liveaboard charters are perfect for dive clubs or groups of diving friends who wish to have a whole boat for themselves. You can dive where you want, when you want - the boat is yours and you can decide (within reason) the dive sites and itinerary. From Phuket there are a wide range of liveaboards of varying standards and prices, and catering to varying numbers of guests from 8 to 24. All boats are available for charter, though full boat bookings should be made well in advance, or trips may already be booked by individual divers.

Below are shown some of the live aboards here in Phuket which can be chartered. We also offer speedboat charters for day trips. The prices normally allow one or two divers for free. If your particular favourite boat is not shown here, you can contact us for more details. if you don't need a whole boat and are looking just to book a regular trip, see here: Thailand Liveaboards.

Factors to consider include :

• Number of divers
• Price per diver
• Size of the boat
• Destinations available
• Comfort level

The liveaboards operating from Phuket can take anything from 8 - 24 divers maximum, with the price per diver being from 150 U$ to over 400 U$ per day. The boats vary greatly in size from smaller boats such as Sai Mai to huge boats such as Black Manta or the Queen Scuba. Some boats have en suite cabins, some shared bathrooms. The individual boat pages give more details.

The usual destination is the Similan and Surin Islands, including Richelieu Rock, but most boats can also dive Hin Daeng and Phi Phi on a full charter. For Burma charters, try the MV Giamani or see the Burma Liveaboards page and contact us for charter details.

A full boat charter gives you more flexibility to choose where you wish to dive and means it's only your group on the boat. If you have any questions about any boat, please contact Sunrise Divers for information.
