YOUR ADVANTAGE
WHY CHARTER
PRIVATE
A private charter from Bali Hai Pier is a different kind of day on the water. No shared boat, no fixed itinerary, no strangers on the same schedule. Here's what that actually means in practice.
WHAT YOU GET
THE FULL
PICTURE
YOUR ROUTE, YOUR PACE
No shared schedule. Your group decides when to stop, where to swim, and how long to stay. We plan around you, not around a fixed departure list.
CREW WITH LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Our crew have worked these waters for years. They know where the reef shallows, which anchorages get crowded, and which passages are worth the extra hour.
MEALS COOKED ONBOARD
All charters include food prepared aboard. Day charters feature fresh Thai seafood lunches. Multi-day cruises have full onboard dining for every meal.
MAINTAINED FLEET
Vessels are checked before every departure. We don't send anything out that isn't in proper working order — that's not caution, it's basic professional practice.
STRAIGHTFORWARD PRICING
Quoted prices cover what's listed. No per-person add-ons midway through, no surprise fuel charges. We prefer clear agreements at the start.
DIRECT COMMUNICATION
Bookings are handled directly by our team. When you have a question, you reach someone who knows the operation — not a booking platform agent.
01 — CREW & EXPERTISE
PEOPLE WHO
KNOW THE WATER
Our captains and crew don't rotate in from elsewhere. They're based in Pattaya and have worked the Gulf's eastern seaboard consistently. That kind of repeat exposure builds a practical understanding of conditions that's hard to replace with credentials alone.
- Thai Maritime Authority licensed captains
- Crew familiar with eastern Gulf conditions year-round
- Safety briefing before every departure
Years of combined crew experience on this specific stretch of the Gulf
LICENSED · EXPERIENCED · LOCAL
WHAT WE CARRY ONBOARD
- GPS chart plotters and VHF radio
- Depth sounders and AIS transponders
- Full life-saving and first aid equipment
- Snorkel and water activity gear (day charters)
02 — TECHNOLOGY & SAFETY
PROPERLY
EQUIPPED
Every vessel carries current navigation equipment and standard safety gear. We don't treat safety equipment as a compliance checkbox — it's stocked, tested, and accessible. Crew know how to use it.
03 — SERVICE QUALITY
ATTENTIVE
WITHOUT FUSS
We aim for a balance that most groups appreciate: crew who are present when needed and quiet when you'd rather just be out on the water. Service doesn't mean constant attention — it means the right kind of attention at the right moments.
- Pre-departure preparation note sent to all guests
- Dietary requirements accommodated in advance
- Crew available throughout but not intrusive

04 — VALUE & PRICING
WHAT YOU SEE
IS WHAT IT COSTS
Charter quotes cover everything listed in the package description. There are no add-on fuel charges, no per-head catering fees levied on the day. We price the whole trip at the start because that's simpler for everyone.
05 — OUTCOMES
A TRIP THAT

- Multi-day routes along the eastern seaboard
- Itineraries shaped around your group's interests
ROUTES AVAILABLE
- Pattaya inner harbor & waterfront

WHAT SETS US APART
DISTINCTLY
OCEANIQUE
EASTERN SEABOARD MULTI-DAY PASSAGE
Few charter operators in Pattaya run overnight or multi-day passages south toward Sattahip and Rayong. This is a route that requires preparation, the right vessel, and crew comfortable with longer passages. We do it as a standard offering.
PERSONAL HANDLING FROM FIRST CONTACT
We don't use third-party booking platforms for charter enquiries. Every enquiry is handled by the Oceanique team directly, which means you get accurate answers and someone who can adjust the details as needed.
FRESH THAI SEAFOOD ABOARD
The onboard cooking on day charters isn't pre-packaged catering — it's fresh Thai seafood prepared by the crew. Provisions come from Pattaya's local fish market. That's a detail that makes a difference over the course of a full day at sea.
ROUTE ADJUSTED TO CONDITIONS
Day charter routes aren't fixed. The crew checks water clarity, current, and wind before finalizing the island approach. If conditions favor a different anchorage than planned, we adjust. Guests get the best day possible, not a predetermined one.
