Private Boat Tour in Phuket

This was the high light of our 18 day vacation! We were in such good hands, everything was clean and safe, very friendly crew. One, leaf and omar were the Best!!! The snorkeling was amazing and they were very informative. We felt like we were in good hands and really enjoyed the day.

My friends and I were looking for a day trip to the Phi Phi Islands that would not be overly touristy, yet allow us to see all the main sites, snorkel and relax - 5 Star Marine delivered on this! Shaun's quick communication made planning the trip a breeze and I cannot say enough good things about Tony and the crew - they took as to all the spots before they were busy, Tony had great knowledge of the island and even better recommendations both around Phi Phi and Surin Beach. The day was so special for my friends and I would 100% recommend for any group.

When we arrived in Phuket, we had paid for a "private" boat tour. Our taxi picked us up and drove us to the dock- in about 10 minutes we came to the realization that our "private tour" was going to include about 50 other people, not the "maximum 12" we had paid for. We refused to get on that boat and were able to get a refund! WHAT?!! The challenge then became that our time was short on the island and we really wanted to get some time on a boat. When we finally got back to wifi, we started looking for private tours and ended up finding this tour right here. I booked- hesitantly, if I'm being honest. Within 5 minutes, Shaun, the owner reached out and asked us where we wanted to go (another neat perk of this trip is you get to pick the itinerary, if you don't know, the crew has insights!) After some back and forth with Shaun, we put our plan together. We let him know what our original plans had been that didn't quite pan out- and he tailor created our day based on what we wanted to do. It was pretty neat, actually. We were picked up on time the next morning. The evening prior, after we booked, we were robbed. Yes, you read that right- robbed! When we told Shaun he immediately jumped into action to make sure a local was helping us. He was so concerned with our failed boat trip and now robbing that we was determined to make sure our day was AWESOME! When we got to the dock, we met Tony. Tony is from Scotland and runs a pretty great crew! He had been told by Shaun what had happened-everyone was so concerned, it was really nice. We got onto a gorgeous speed boat that was stocked with water, pineapple, soda. We met the whole crew and we were off. I really liked how on the the crew, our "tour guide", was a student studying tourism. He had learned English and working on this boat was part of his internship to graduate. The trip was the highlight of our ENTIRE trip to Thailand. We snorkeled, we canoed, we swam, we ate in floating cities, we went to James Bond Island, saw amazing landscapes and watched the sunset from our boat in the middle of the bay. The boat was clean, the bathroom worked. Seriously, we would book this trip again in a heartbeat. Shaun and Tony seriously saved our trip! Thank You!!!

One of the best days of our week long trip in Phuket was hands down this private charter with Five Star Marina to the Phi Phi Islands. From the second we arrived, our crew took incredible care of us and ensured we got to experience exactly what we were looking to. Our guide was incredibly knowledgable, and gave us an unforgettable day. From snorkling, to swimming, shopping, seeing monkeys, and then ending the day watching sunset from a completely abandoned private beach - this is something that MUST be on your list in Phuket.

This was the best day we’ve had in Phuket, my friends and I stayed for 7 days and this day trip made our holiday. Before this day trip we spent a day with a group tour of 30 people, this private boat tour is so worth every single penny. Shaun was so welcoming and planned our day according to our preferences. He messaged us the day before to prepare, his crew was so professional and gave us heads up if the water was rough. They prepared fresh fruits and water and soda for us throughout the day. We could not have asked for a better trip! Thank you 5 star marine!! Highly recommend others to book this!!
