The most festive boat on Koh Phi Phi

The Pirate Boat is the Phi Phi boat party: a two-deck pirate ship with music from the moment you board, a bar, a dance floor and a full day of island hopping around Phi Phi Leh, run by Phi Phi Pirates. It is the festive take on the classic island tour, and you book it here directly with our team on the island.

Practical details

  • Easy logistics: meet at 11:30 at the Relax Bar in Tonsai, no hotel shuttle needed.
  • What to wear: swimsuit plus a light t-shirt. It gets a little cool after sunset, so bring a light sweater.
  • Photos: the ship is very photogenic, with its pirate flag, sails and rigging.

Tip: be at the Relax Bar at 11:30 sharp, the crew boards the whole group together; head straight up to the upper deck to grab a good spot.

Who the boat party is for (and who it is not for)

  • Perfect for: groups of friends, couples who want a lively day out, sociable solo travellers, and anyone who wants to see Maya Bay and party on the same day.
  • Less suited if you are after peace and quiet: from around 18:00 the dance floor and the bar set the tone. For a quieter sunset at sea, tell us and we will suggest a calmer trip.
  • With children: fine during the day (snorkelling at Monkey Beach, kayak, SUP); the party mood builds mainly towards the end of the loop.

What the tour covers, at a glance

One sailing strings together the must-sees of Phi Phi Leh: Monkey Beach, Viking Cave, Pileh Lagoon, Table Coral City and Maya Bay, the legendary setting of The Beach, before sunset on board. Kayak, snorkelling and stand-up paddle are included, as is the 400 THB national park fee that most tours charge on top.

Maya Bay is tightly managed since it reopened (300 visitors at a time, entrance fee, time slots) and closes to landings every year from 1 August to 30 September. We explain everything in our complete Maya Bay 2026 guide before your visit.

Book direct, no middleman

The price is 1,800 THB per adult for departures up to 31 October 2026, then 2,200 THB per adult (1,800 THB per child aged 4 to 11) for departures from 1 November 2026; the price follows the date of the sailing, not the date of booking. A 300 THB deposit is all it takes to hold your spot, and the balance is paid on the day. You book directly with our team based on Koh Phi Phi: WhatsApp confirmation, personal tips, and you can move your date if your plans change.

Before you go

Good to know

  • Prone to seasickness?

    Take a tablet ~30 min before departure, sit mid-boat, keep your eyes on the horizon and avoid heading out on an empty stomach.

  • Beat the crowds

    Iconic spots like Maya Bay are far calmer early in the day. Our morning departures get you there before the midday ferry rush.

  • National park fees

    Some sites sit inside a national park, so an entrance fee may apply. Check the “Not included” list above so there are no surprises.

  • Sun & reef care

    The tropical sun is strong, bring a hat, sunglasses and plenty of water. Reef-safe sunscreen is required in Thai marine parks.

  • What to pack

    Swimwear under your clothes, a towel, a dry bag for your phone, and a change of clothes for the trip back.

Frequently asked

Yes. The Phi Phi boat party is the Pirate Boat run by Phi Phi Pirates: a large two-deck pirate ship with a dance floor, a bar and music; meet at 11:30 at the Relax Bar in Tonsai, back at 19:30. The 8-hour loop takes in Monkey Beach, Viking Cave, Pileh Lagoon, Table Coral City and Maya Bay, then sunset at sea. Expect 50 to 80 passengers depending on the season; the ship is big, so it never feels packed.
1,800 THB per adult for departures up to 31 October 2026, then 2,200 THB per adult and 1,800 THB per child aged 4 to 11 for departures from 1 November 2026 (under-4s go free). The price follows the sailing date, not the booking date. Lunch, fresh fruit, water, coffee and tea, kayak, snorkelling and SUP gear and the 400 THB national park fee are all included. You pay a 300 THB deposit per person online and the balance on the spot on the day. Bar drinks are extra.
Meet at 11:30 at the Relax Bar in Tonsai: the crew welcomes you there, then boards the whole group. The ship is back at Tonsai at around 19:30, after sunset at sea. It is one continuous 8-hour loop: you cannot join halfway or leave early, and there is no sunset-only ticket. If you only want a quiet sunset cruise, tell us on WhatsApp and we will point you to a calmer option.
There is a bar on board from boarding until the return, but alcohol is not included in the ticket. Prices on board: beer around 100 THB, cocktails 200 to 250 THB, buckets 500 THB, paid in cash or by card. Drinking water, coffee and tea are free all day, and lunch and fresh fruit platters are included.
Yes, solo travellers are very welcome: the music, the shared meal and the kayak and snorkelling stops make it one of the easiest tours on Phi Phi to join alone. There is no minimum age for the daytime part of the trip: children aged 4 to 11 pay the child fare, under-4s travel free, and families enjoy Monkey Beach, kayaking and SUP. From about 18:00 the dance floor and the bar set the tone and the mood is aimed at adults. Thailand's legal drinking age is 20.
Yes. Maya Bay is the 16:00 stop, and the 400 THB national park fee is included in your ticket. Maya Bay reopened on 1 October 2026 after its annual closure: every year it is closed to landings from 1 August to 30 September. On those dates the ship still sails past the bay, which you admire from the water, and swimming and snorkelling move to Pileh Lagoon and Loh Samah; the rest of the programme is unchanged. Visits are regulated by the national park (300 visitors at a time, swimming only in the marked buoy zone, no snorkelling inside the bay itself), so follow the crew's briefing.
Short tropical showers are common on Phi Phi, especially from May to October, and the tour normally goes ahead: the crew adapts the order of the stops and the swimming time to the conditions. If the national park closes the sites or the maritime authorities halt departures, we move you to another date or fully refund your deposit, and we tell you as early as possible on WhatsApp.
The meeting point is the Relax Bar in Tonsai village on Koh Phi Phi Don, a short walk from Tonsai Pier and from most hotels and hostels; no hotel pick-up is needed. Because the ship is back at 19:30, well after the last afternoon ferries to Phuket and Krabi, you need to be staying on Koh Phi Phi that night. Be at the Relax Bar at 11:30: the crew checks you in there, then boards the group, and the ship sails from Tonsai shortly after.
