Ideal for families The Cloud Dancer is a solid choice for groups wanting comfort and space without breaking the bank. With 4 cabins and berths for 10, it's perfect for families or two couples traveling together who value privacy.

Well-equipped and practical This 2018 Lagoon brings genuinely useful amenities: air conditioning, a water maker for extended cruising, electric toilets, and a dinghy with snorkeling gear included. You're not roughing it, these features matter when you're chartering internationally and want reliable systems.

Fair value proposition At €5,500 deposit with a reputable operator (Fairway Yachting), this feels reasonably priced for a modern, equipped catamaran. The spec sheet suggests good bang for your charter budget, though you'd want to confirm base location and weekly rates to be certain.

One note on reviews The operator has a perfect 5-star rating, but it's based on just one review, not enough data to fully validate reliability. Before committing, I'd recommend asking Fairway directly for references or checking independent feedback beyond their listing.

The marina & destination

Based at Ao Po Grand Marina, in Phuket, Thailand. Cloud Dancer is operated by Fairway Yachting.

Moo 6 Tambon Paklok

Why this is a great starting point

Ao Po Grand Marina lies on Phuket's east coast and is the natural departure point for exploring the Phang Nga Bay archipelago, with limestone karsts and protected anchorages reachable within 2-3 hours. Week 1 typically involves cruising north through the bay's island cluster, island-hopping to Koh Hong or Koh Panak, then returning via the sheltered waters along the Phang Nga coast. The northeast monsoon (November to April) provides reliable winds for this route, though the bay itself offers good protection from the prevailing southwesterly swell during the main season.

Can Cloud Dancer be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Cloud Dancer bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.

What sailing licence do I need to charter Cloud Dancer?

Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.

How does the security deposit work?

The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.

Is the yacht insured?

Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.

What documents do I need to bring?

You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.

What payment methods are accepted?

Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
