WHO WE ARE
A CREW
YOU CAN
RELY ON
Oceanique is a small charter operation based at Bali Hai Pier, South Pattaya. We run a tight fleet, work with experienced crew, and focus on giving each group a trip that's worth their time on the water.
OUR STORY
BUILT ON
THE WATER
Oceanique began as a straightforward idea: offer well-run private charters out of Pattaya, with proper vessels and crew who know the local waters well. The Gulf of Thailand's eastern seaboard — from the harbor anchorages of Pattaya through to the outer islands and down toward Rayong — has a lot to offer those willing to spend time on it. We wanted to make that accessible without ceremony.
The operation has grown steadily, adding routes and refining how each charter is organized. We've learned that the things guests value most are consistent: clear communication before departure, a crew that handles the vessel confidently, and meals that are actually good. Those remain the focus.
We work with a small number of regular crew members, some of whom have been sailing these waters for over fifteen years. Charter requests are handled personally — there's no large booking system or call centre. When you contact us, you're reaching someone who knows the fleet and the routes.
OUR MISSION
To provide private yacht charters on the Gulf of Thailand that are well-organized, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable — without the fuss that often surrounds boat hire.

HOW WE OPERATE
STANDARDS WE
HOLD TO
VESSEL MAINTENANCE
Every vessel undergoes regular mechanical and hull inspections. We hold to Thai Marine Department registration requirements and conduct internal checks before each departure.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
All vessels carry full safety equipment including life jackets for all passengers, emergency flares, first aid kits, and communication devices. Safety briefings are given before every departure.
CREW LICENSING
All captains and crew are licensed under Thai Maritime Authority requirements. Our crew hold valid certificates and undergo regular recertification in navigation and safety procedures.
FOOD HANDLING
Onboard meals are prepared in accordance with standard food hygiene practices. Provisions are sourced fresh from local Pattaya markets. Dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice.
GUEST PRIVACY
We handle all guest information with discretion. Contact and booking details are used only for the purposes of organizing your charter and are not passed to third parties.
MARINE RESPONSIBILITY
We follow no-anchor zones around reef areas, manage onboard waste responsibly, and ask guests to observe the same practices. The waters we sail are worth protecting for the long term.
PATTAYA YACHT CHARTERS
EASTERN GULF EXPERTISE
The waters around Pattaya and the broader Chon Buri coastline offer a range of sailing conditions — from the calm of the inner harbor to open sea passages toward the outer islands and south toward Sattahip. Oceanique has operated in this area since the early 2010s, building up practical knowledge of tidal patterns, anchorage conditions, and the best times to approach specific island groups.
Bali Hai Pier functions as Pattaya's main departure hub for marine activity, and its central location makes it convenient for guests staying anywhere along the coastal strip. For those arriving from Bangkok or Rayong, the pier is straightforward to reach by road. Our office is at the pier, and a crew member is generally available during operating hours for any questions that are easier to discuss in person.
Private charters from this part of Thailand are particularly well-suited to small groups looking for a more considered experience on the water — away from the larger tour vessels that operate on fixed schedules. Each Oceanique charter is run for a single group, which means the pace, route choices, and onboard arrangements are shaped around your preferences rather than a shared itinerary.
