Why go
About Phuket Sail Tours
Phuket Sail Tours began in 2004, when Captain Mark, an Australian who had settled in Phuket to live on the water, grew tired of island tours that felt crowded and hurried. He set out to offer something calmer, with small groups and a personal touch, and he still takes the helm himself on many trips.
Today a close-knit local team runs day trips to Phi Phi, Phang Nga Bay and beyond, using speedboats and a traditional Thai big boat. Departures are timed to avoid the busiest hours, groups stay small, and the pace leaves room to swim, snorkel and paddle into sea caves. Hotel pickup and lunch are part of the day.
Main services
What Phuket Sail Tours offers
Services from the official website.
Phi Phi Islands magic sunset speedboat tour
A later start for travellers who prefer a slower day: beach time and snorkelling at Bamboo Island, lunch on Phi Phi Don, Maya Bay after the crowds leave, then sunset on Koh Pae.
James Bond sunset tour on a big boat
An afternoon and evening cruise on a Thai big boat through Phang Nga Bay, with canoeing into sea caves and hongs, dinner on board and a chance to see glowing plankton after dark.
Private charters
Any itinerary can be run as a private day on the water for couples, families or friends, with a captain and crew, a route built around your wishes and optional extras like celebration cakes.
Groups and corporate trips
Customised boat days for teams, conference groups and celebrations of 15 to 50 guests or more, with return hotel transfers, catering, and a route and menu agreed with the organiser beforehand.
