Take the whole 39-foot speedboat for the day — ฿16,000 per boat, up to 15 guests, and the islands you pick. Thai rules mean she sails with her captain and crew, so you choose the route and nobody else is aboard.

We absolutely loved our day in Phang Nga Bay with 5 Star Marine. Beautiful scenery, a great guide and great staff on the boat.

What is this tour like?

This is a boat rental, not a seat in a group tour: ฿16,000 buys the whole speedboat for the day, for up to 15 guests. Lucus 1 is 39 feet, cruises at 28 knots and carries around 400 km of range, so Phi Phi, James Bond Island and Phang Nga, Racha, Khai or Hong Krabi are all on the table — you tell us where, and combinations are normal.

Bareboat rental barely exists in Phuket: Thai rules push the market to skippered charters, so the boat comes with her captain, a crew of three and a guide. You keep the choice of route and pace; they keep the wheel. The day starts at 5 Star Marine's own pier inside Phuket Boat Lagoon, and the return transfer is part of the price.

What are the highlights?

  • The whole 39-foot speedboat is yours — up to 15 guests, no strangers aboard
  • Captain, crew of three and a guide come with the boat
  • Pick the route: Phi Phi, James Bond / Phang Nga, Racha, Khai, Hong Krabi — or a mix
  • 28 knots cruising and around 400 km of range keep the far islands in reach
  • Snorkelling gear, life jackets, fresh fruit, drinks and beach mats are on board
  • Own pier inside Phuket Boat Lagoon, and the return transfer is included

FAQ

Can I rent the boat without a skipper?
No. Bareboat rental barely exists in Phuket — Thai rules push the market to skippered charters, so the boat comes with her captain, a crew of three and a guide. The price is the same ฿16,000 per boat per day, and you still choose the route.
Is the price per person or for the whole boat?
For the whole boat: ฿16,000 per boat per day, whether you are two or fifteen. That is what makes it a rental rather than a seat in a group tour.
How many guests fit on board?
Up to 15. The crew of three works to that number, so a large family or a group of friends fits into one booking, with the fruit, water and beach mats to match.
Which islands can we go to?
Phi Phi, James Bond Island and Phang Nga, Racha, Khai or Hong Krabi — and combinations of them. The route is not fixed to the boat; you agree it with the crew before departure.
How long does the day last?
The boat is sold by the day, and the operator does not publish exact start and finish times. We confirm them in writing for your date before you pay, along with the pick-up time for the transfer.
What boat is it?
Lucus 1, a 39-foot VIP speedboat from 5 Star Marine's own fleet. Crew of three, 28 knots cruising and around 400 km of range.
What is included in the price?
The boat with captain, crew and guide, fresh fruit, soft drinks and water, snorkelling equipment, life jackets, insurance, beach mats, photos taken during the trip and the return transfer.
Are national park fees included?
The operator does not publish the park fees for Phi Phi and Phang Nga, so we do not quote a figure here. Tell us the islands you want and we confirm the exact amount with 5 Star Marine before you book.
Where do we meet?
At 5 Star Marine's own pier inside Phuket Boat Lagoon, Ko Kaeo, Phuket. The return transfer is included, so you can be picked up and dropped back.
What should we bring?
Swimwear, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen and cash for park fees. Snorkelling equipment, life jackets, beach mats, fruit and water are already on board.
