Why charter a catamaran
When you travel as a group, nothing beats a boat all to yourself: no strangers on board, a free pace and a bespoke itinerary. The Notus catamaran (up to 35 people) and the Aurora yacht (up to 25 people) offer the space and comfort to turn an island outing into a real event.
For which occasions
Birthdays, bachelor or bachelorette parties, corporate retreats, family celebrations: the private charter adapts to every occasion. A meal served on board, a dedicated English-speaking guide and free choice among the region's finest routes, from the 4 Islands all the way to Phi Phi and James Bond.
Tip: book early in high season — the catamarans and the Aurora yacht go quickly for weekends and holiday dates. The Aurora yacht is booked on request, so allow a little lead time.

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.
