Private Dive Boat Charter

Charter MV Matchanu exclusively for your dive group, club, family or friends. With the boat to yourselves, we can plan the day around your group, your experience and what you'd like to dive — always within the day's sea and weather conditions.

For larger groups, a private charter can also work out more economically than booking individual dive days.

A private charter gives us more freedom to shape the day around your group. Tell us what kind of diving you enjoy, the experience levels in the group and whether there are particular sites or types of diving you're interested in.

We'll look at the weather, sea conditions and currents and plan the best day we can within them. That might mean wrecks, reefs, walls, photography, looking for the small stuff or simply choosing somewhere where we expect good diving that day.

There is no fixed dive-time limit. Your air consumption, conditions and safe diving limits determine when each dive ends, with a proper surface interval between the two dives.

Divers and non-divers together

Not everyone in the group has to be a certified diver. Non-diving friends and family are welcome aboard and can swim, snorkel, take the kayak out or simply enjoy the day on the boat when the site and conditions allow.

Want to let someone try diving? We can also arrange a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience during a private charter. The additional cost is lower than our regular Discover Scuba Diving price and depends on how many people would like to participate, so ask us for a quote when planning your charter.

Coming by yacht?

If you're visiting Phuket by yacht and would like to dive while you're here, talk to us about a rendezvous charter. Depending on your location and our route, we may be able to arrange a suitable meeting point.

Planning your charter

Private charters are arranged on request and depend on boat and guide availability. Tell us your preferred date, group size, certification levels and what you'd like from the day, and we'll help you plan it.
