In brief
The catamaran day on this site is listed from $83 a person, and it is the dearest of the 3-island boat days we compared, which is a fair thing to know before you read on. The fare buys a day of 7 to 8 hours that starts with hotel pickup in Pattaya and ends with a drop-off in the city. Behind it stand 805 reviews that average 4.8, a larger body of feedback than any rival boat day carries.
What the fare covers is spelled out in the record. Lunch is a Thai buffet, snacks and soft drinks keep coming, snorkeling gear is lent out, and alcohol is the single item the record leaves out. Capacity is listed at 60 passengers and crew aboard a 71 foot catamaran, so a full sailing is a social day rather than a private outing. Guides work in Chinese, English, Russian and Thai.
The money side is gentle. You can reserve and pay nothing today, and cancelling at least 24 hours before the start brings the whole fare back. That makes the price a starting figure you can test against the weather forecast rather than a commitment: if the sea looks rough days ahead, you still have time to move or drop the booking at no cost.

Starting fares only; the date and the size of your party decide the final price, and a private boat is priced per boat.
The nearest rival sails on another catamaran and starts from $72 for 7 hours, with 749 reviews averaging 4.8. A sunset version of the same island circuit starts from $76 and runs 7.5 hours, because it adds a stop at a viewpoint for the evening light, and its record shows 88 reviews so far, far fewer than the main catamaran days.
A party-minded option is the 82-foot sunset yacht with a live DJ, from $69 for 8 hours. It is the cheapest of the group and carries 210 reviews at 4.1, the lowest rating among the boat days, so read recent comments if quiet water is what you want. Alcohol is not part of our own day, whereas the second catamaran lists drinks as something you can buy on board.
At the top of the range sits a 2-island yacht day from $102, which swaps Monkey Island for longer stops at Koh Phai and Koh Rin plus a sunset viewpoint. Its 256 reviews average 4.8, and guides speak English and Thai. If a longer time in the water matters more to you than a third island, the extra money has a clear logic.
Feedback behind the fare
Review totals as each listing displays them in the scraped records.
The speedboat day to Coral Island and Sak Island is the low-price entry, from $27 for 6 hours, with 797 reviews that average only 3.8. The basic package covers snorkeling and paddle boarding only, and other water activities are chosen separately, so the cheap headline fare grows if you add extras. Lunch is something you buy at Tawean Beach.
Snorkeling in Pattaya price comparisons are simplest with the Nemo Island trip, from $39 for 5 hours and 363 reviews averaging 4.6. Lunch is not provided there, and the snorkel stops come without an island landing. A snorkel or beginner dive day with lunch on board starts from $77 for 8 hours and offers 3 packages.
Parasailing is priced on its own, from $27 for a session of 1 hour that includes a 10 minute speedboat leg. The listing sets a weight limit of 100 kg, treats a late arrival as a no-show with no refund, and charges THB 200 a person to reschedule. Keep that in mind before stacking it on a day that already has a tight pickup, and book it on a calm morning rather than the day of a long boat trip.

These products reverse the logic of the shared boats, because the headline number covers the vehicle. A jet ski tour of 5 islands and viewpoints starts from $207 for 2 or 4 hours, and the listing says each jet ski carries at most 2 people. A 4 hour jet ski tour of 3 islands with snorkeling starts from $234, with a minimum driver age of 18 and a valid ID or passport.
A private Pattaya speedboat scales the same way. The least expensive run, to Koh Larn and Koh Sak, begins at $164 for 6 hours aboard a single engine boat, while a twin engine upgrade adds THB 5000. A private run to Koh Phai starts from $359 for 8 hours, plus an island fee of THB 150 for each guest, collected when you land. A 2 to 4 island circuit starts from $428.
Split between a group, a private boat can come out below a seat on a shared catamaran, but the listings do not state how many guests a boat carries, so check capacity with the operator before you do that sum. On the 2 to 4 island circuit, lunch comes only with the full-day package and costs THB 2000 extra on the half day, and pickup in Pattaya and Jomtien adds THB 1000.

Read the small print for alcohol, transfers and facilities. Our catamaran day leaves alcohol out, the second catamaran sells it on board, and the sunset catamaran sells it too, so the same fare buys different evenings. Hotel pickup is part of the island days, but the Koh Larn beach trips with drone photos charge THB 100 to THB 200 extra outside central, north and south Pattaya.
Small fees sit on the islands themselves. The beach-day listings for Koh Larn charge extra at the island, THB 50 to use a bathroom and THB 10 for a toilet, and they state that rain or wind rules out drone photos without any refund. On Koh Phai the private speedboat tour passes on a THB 150 island fee, so carry small Thai baht notes for whichever charge applies to you.
Tipping is not stated in any record we read, so we give no figure for it. What the records do give is a rule about conditions: boat days are subject to sea and weather, and the operator may change the plan. Whatever you pay, treat the displayed amount as a starting fare and confirm the final sum at checkout. Packing a rash guard is a small extra worth making, since the Tourism Authority of Thailand ties box jellyfish and similar hazards to the monsoon months.2,1

Before you pay
A 24 hour free cancellation window runs across the boat listings above, so the cheapest protection against a bad forecast is to book early and watch the sea. Reserve now and pay later is offered on the catamaran day sold here, so you can hold a seat today without paying anything and settle up closer to the date.
A few products have stricter terms. The Nemo Island trip needs at least 4 guests and otherwise offers a full refund or a new date, and its snorkel stops allow no island landings. Parasailing counts a late arrival as a no-show with no refund. The jet ski tours depend on weather and keep a limit of 9 jet skis a tour.
Compare the cancellation line before you compare the fare, because a saving of a few dollars disappears quickly if a rough sea or a missed pickup leaves you with a no-show. The calculator above prices the boat days for your party, and the decision helper at the end names the listing that suits your priorities.
