A speedboat just for your group
Departing from Phuket, you charter a private speedboat: captain and assistant on board, but no one other than your group. You choose the circuit, the departure time and the time spent at each site. The price is per boat, not per person — the more there are of you, the more interesting it becomes.
Four circuits, just one private boat
- Coral & Racha — 12,500 THB (up to 6 people): the clearest waters near Phuket, easy snorkeling, white sand beaches.
- James Bond / Phang Nga — 13,500 THB (up to 6 people): limestone karsts, James Bond island, sea caves by canoe, floating village.
- Phi Phi from Phuket — 14,000 THB (up to 6 people): Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach.
- Similan Islands — 15,500 THB (up to 6 people, Nov-May only): the most spectacular reefs and turquoise waters in the region.
National park fees not included (400–600 THB/person depending on areas visited). More than 6 people: upon estimate — we charter a larger boat.
Why privatize from Phuket
- You are 4+ people: the price per head becomes competitive compared to shared tours.
- Free times: leave early to avoid the crowds at Maya Bay or James Bond.
- Children or seniors: no crowds, breaks according to your needs.
- Special occasion: birthday, marriage proposal, honeymoon.
Our advice
For Similan, reserve in high season (November to May): the national park closes the rest of the year. For Maya Bay (Phi Phi circuit), an early departure makes all the difference in crowds.

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.
