There are two ways to get on the water in Da Nang
The first is the tourist boat. Eighty strangers, a fixed route, a buffet line, and a queue at the railing for photos. It costs $25 a head and it feels like it.The second is your own boat. Your group and nobody else. You pick the morning or the sunset. The kids swim off the back deck while lunch comes off the grill. The captain moves the boat when you're ready, not when a schedule says so.Most people assume the second option is for millionaires. Here is the actual math: a six-hour private charter starts at 48,900,000 VND — about $1,850. Split between eight people, that's roughly $230 each for a full day on a private yacht with crew, meals, and jet skis included. About the price of a nice dinner and a night out back home.
You're not paying for a seat. You're paying for the boat — and everyone you bring is already covered.
FOUR WAYS TO SPEND THE DAY
Every trip below is a full private charter: your boat, licensed captain and crew, fruit, pastry, mocktails, insurance and VAT included. On the day trips, the watersports gear comes too — jet ski, SUP, snorkel sets, fishing rods. Pick the length of day that fits your group.
Morning Sail
2 hours · From $750
(whole boat)
The river before the city is properly awake. You board at the Love Bridge dock at eight, coffee in hand, and cruise under the Dragon Bridge while the light is still soft. Fruit and pastry on deck. Order ahead and breakfast comes out — Asian or European. SUP and snorkel gear are on board if anyone wants to get wet.Two hours, back by ten, the whole day still ahead of you. This is the trip for slow mornings, small groups, and anyone who wants the photos without the crowds in them.
Whole-boat price. See per-yacht rates in the fleet section below.
Intercontinental Sunset
6 hours · From $1,850
(whole boat)
The full Da Nang day, and our most-booked trip. Bridges first, while everyone settles in with a drink. Then the boat anchors at Bãi Cát Vàng and Bãi Đá Đen — clear water, swimming, snorkeling. At Tiên Sa the watersports start: jet ski, SUP, banana boat, fishing rods off the stern. BBQ comes off the grill in the late afternoon. You ride the Han River home at sunset. On the Italian Classic and the Flagship, the DJ takes the night portion.
French Beauty: 48,900,000 VND (around $1,850)
Italian Classic: 59,900,000 VND (around $2,300)
Flagship: 74,900,000 VND (around $2,850)
Hòn Sơn Chà Island
8 - 10 hours · From $2,600
(whole boat)
Locals call it Pearl Island. It sits under the Hai Van Pass, twenty minutes of open water past the Son Tra peninsula, and most tourists never see it because the big boats don't go there. A cove of coral and green water almost to yourselves. Swim, snorkel, shoot photos you'll have to convince people are Vietnam. Lunch on board. Watersports stop at Tiên Sa on the way back, sunset at the port, BBQ dinner with a violinist if you've added one. If it's a fire-show night, you watch the Dragon Bridge breathe fire from the river on the way home.
French Beauty: 68,900,000 VND (around $2,600)
Italian Classic: 79,900,000 VND (around $3,000)
Flagship: 94,900,000 VND (around $3,600)
Cham Island (Cù Lao Chàm - UNESCO)
10 hours · From $3,600 (whole boat)
Our largest day. Two and a half hours of open sea to Cù Lao Chàm, a UNESCO biosphere reserve of eight small islands. You land at Bãi Làng, walk the fishing village, visit Hải Tạng Pagoda — a temple that has watched this bay since 1758. Swim at Bãi Bấc, Bãi Xếp, Bãi Chồng. Local seafood lunch on the island. Mocktails and finger food flow on board the whole way there and back, with the watersports stop at Tiên Sa to finish.Best sailed March through August. Outside that window the sea gets rough and we'll steer you to Pearl Island instead — we'd rather move your trip than sell you a bad day.
French Beauty: 94,900,000 VND (around $3,600)
Italian Classic: 105,900,000 VND (around $4,000)
Flagship: 119,900,000 VND (around $4,500)

THE PRICE YOU SEE IS THE PRICE YOU PAY.
Every charter includes the licensed captain and full crew, passenger insurance, VAT, fruit, pastry and mocktails, and the watersports gear: jet ski, SUP boards, snorkel sets, banana boat, fishing rods. DJ on the Italian Classic and Flagship. Nobody meets you at the dock with a surcharge. Nobody sells you bottled water at sea.The only things that cost extra are the things you ask us to add — a photographer, a violinist, flowers, a custom menu. And those go on the same quote, agreed before you pay a deposit, on one invoice.
WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH
Docksy books private charters on behalf of guests, working directly with the licensed operator of all three yachts. Every boat carries the Vietnamese maritime safety certificate, a licensed captain, full crew, and life vests for every passenger — child sizes included. Passenger insurance is in the price, not an add-on.During the 2026 Da Nang International Fireworks Festival, our largest yacht sold out all six nights months before the festival began. We tell you that not to brag, but so you know why we ask you to book ahead for Saturdays and holidays.We answer on WhatsApp, in English, within 30 minutes, from 8am to midnight Vietnam time. Ask us anything — including the questions operators don't like: What happens if it rains? What if the kids get seasick? What exactly is in the BBQ?
