How do I book a private charter?
Send us your date, group size and the boat you prefer, using the enquiry form or WhatsApp. Our manager replies to confirm the route, timings and price, and the charter is booked once you agree.
Why are there no prices on the website?
Every charter is private, so the price depends on the boat, the route and your group. We quote each enquiry directly on WhatsApp.
Is the catamaran suitable for families?
Yes. It has four cabins, each with its own toilet and shower, and a fully equipped kitchen, so it suits families and groups who want space and comfort on board.
Which islands can we visit?
Popular routes include Koh Phi Phi Don, Maya Bay, Ko Hong in Phang Nga Bay, Ko Racha Yai, Coral Island and Ko Ha Yai, and there are many more. Tell us what you enjoy and we will suggest a route.
Is Island & Highland Tours the same as Thale Cruises?
Thale Cruises (phuket.cruises) was our earlier website. Our charters now run under Island & Highland Tours, a registered Thai tour operator.
Can we rent a car or motorbike from you?
Yes. We rent cars, 4x4s, vans and motorbikes. Send us your dates, where you are staying and what you need on WhatsApp, and we will reply with what is available and the price.
Can we stay with you as well?
Yes. We run Bangtao Lighthouse Guesthouse in Choeng Thale, close to Bang Tao Beach on Phuket's west coast.
