Phase 1: 3–6 Months Out (The Foundation)
[ ] Define the Budget: Determine the per-person cost. For a premium catamaran experience with food, drinks, and a DJ, aim for ฿2,500–฿3,500+ per person.
[ ] Set the Date (and a Backup): Weekends (Saturday) are the most popular and fill up months in advance. Sundays are slightly cheaper.
[ ] Draft the Guest List: Is this a small, intimate gathering (15 people) or a massive celebration (50+ people)? The final count dictates the vessel size.
[ ] Research Charter Companies: Prioritize reviews and safety records over the lowest price. Choose a company that specializes in events, not just fishing trips.
