What Our Guests Say

★★★★★

We went out on Ocean Dreams. The whole experience from start to finish was flawless. The boat was bigger than I expected and felt very comfortable and spacious. We headed out to James Bond Island. During the trip we were provided with an amazing lunch prepared onboard. My only wish is that the day was longer. Highly recommend these guys!

We had an amazing experience with this private yacht company! We booked on very short notice for a group of 10, and everything exceeded our expectations. The crew members were absolutely fantastic — friendly, professional, and made sure everyone was having a great time. The food was delicious, the trip itself was unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Firstly it was EXACTLY as described. The staff could not have been more friendly — I mean every detail. Constantly checking in and making sure we did everything we wanted. Lunch was amazing.

Fergal Harris Google

★★★★★

During our 2 week Phuket vacation we booked 2 tours with private-yacht.com and were really impressed by the warm and friendly manner of the entire crew. The booking process was uncomplicated and well advised, the boats were very clean and well maintained. What particularly impressed me was the passion with which the guides explained details about the country, people, culture and nature. Thailand and Phuket are beautiful, but from the boat they are simply gorgeous.

Hired the Vibe yacht for 44 of us for my birthday. From start to finish, there was nothing but absolute attention to detail and for such an amazing price point. Cars picked us up from the hotel and ferried us to the yacht. The food was amazing. The staff were very quick with the cocktails and the DJ knew what to play. These guys helped us all have an amazing experience.
