Boat Party Phuket Experience
A boat party phuket cruise combines DJ entertainment, open bar, and swimming stops along Phuket's coastline. These catamaran excursions depart from Chalong Pier, offering sunset views across the Andaman Sea while guests enjoy live music and onboard activities. Boat party phuket tours typically include hotel transfers, snorkel equipment, and buffet meals.
Yona Beach Club opened in 2024 as Thailand's first permanently moored floating beach club, anchored 400 metres offshore from Royal Phuket Marina.
The vessel spans three decks and 1,200 square metres, purpose-built with a saltwater infinity pool, submerged loungers, and a rooftop DJ booth that operates daily during the 09:30–21:30 service window. Unlike transient boat party Phuket operations that relocate weekly, Yona's fixed mooring allows hydraulic stabilisers to counteract Andaman swells, maintaining a near-static platform even during southwest monsoon season.
The club's design draws from Ibiza's offshore party culture but adapts it to tropical daytime use. The ground deck houses the kitchen, bar, and arrival lounge; the second level contains the infinity pool with swim-up seating and direct sea access via a retractable ladder; the third deck is an open-air sun terrace with cabana pods and the DJ console. Every surface is marine-grade teak or composite decking, chosen to withstand 35-degree heat and salt spray. The pool holds 80,000 litres of filtered seawater, circulated every four hours, with underwater LED strips that activate at dusk. Boat party Phuket tours typically operate as sunset charters, but Yona's day-pass model runs from morning through evening, allowing guests to cycle through pool sessions, dining, and the golden-hour DJ set without a fixed departure time.
The marina location is deliberate. Royal Phuket Marina lies on the island's east coast, sheltered from the monsoon fetch that batters Patong and Kata beaches between May and October. Yona's mooring experiences one-third the wave action of western anchorages, making it the only yacht party Phuket venue that operates year-round without weather cancellations. The 2,900 THB standard day pass includes pool access, lounge seating, and house DJ programming; food and beverages are à la carte. Peak capacity is 250 guests, distributed across the three decks to prevent crowding. A dedicated ferry shuttle runs every 30 minutes from the marina pier, with the final departure at 20:30. The club's Instagram feed, launched in April 2024, has accumulated over 140,000 followers, driven by aerial drone footage of the infinity pool extending into the Andaman's turquoise gradient.
