Phuket Private Speedboat Charter — Phi Phi Islands (V. Marine Tour)
The whole speedboat is yours for a full day to the Phi Phi Islands: ฿29,000 buys the boat, not a seat, for 2 to 10 guests, with a private hotel transfer to Royal Phuket Marina.
Phuket, Thailand · 8h · up to 10 guests · ฿29,000 per boat ·
The views were spectacular and the snorkelling was amazing, thousands of fish. Five crew on board, and every one of them was kind and helpful.
What is this tour like?
Chartering the boat and buying a seat are two different purchases. Here you pay ฿29,000 for the speedboat itself on the Phi Phi route — the same sum whether two of you come or ten. A group of ten splits it into ฿2,900 each; a couple pays for the privacy of having the deck, the guide and the day's pace to themselves.
The boat is a 250HP×2 speedboat licensed for 2 to 10 guests. A private transfer takes you from your hotel to Royal Phuket Marina and back, and you choose the pickup time yourself within the 06:00–09:00 window. Drinks, seasonal fruit, snorkelling gear and accident insurance come with the charter. The national park fee (฿400 adult, ฿200 child) and lunch are paid separately.
What are the highlights?
- The whole boat is yours — the price is per boat, not per person
