Good sailing trips fill up weeks ahead in high season; the great ones go first. Below: the 14 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Luxury yacht tour from Phuket to James Bond Island and Hong Island. Includes canoeing, dinner on board, and hotel pickup.
“Amazing experience, very good value for your money - Great yacht, great crew and great tour Would highly recommend it”
Phuket to Phi Phi Islands by catamaran, with Bamboo Island beach time, Pileh Lagoon longtail, Viking Cave snorkeling, buffet lunch, and sunset.
“I'm not a swimmer and afraid of big bodies of water, but The Seanery ensured that I felt comfortable and safe. The Catamaran speedboat was a fun way to see the islands, we did not feel nauseous or anything. The overall experience was exceptional, they kept us hydrated and the lunch that they provided was really tasty. If you are looking for a fun activity with the family while in Phuket, THIS IS IT.”
Phuket catamaran day trip to Phi Phi, Bamboo and Maithon with snorkeling at Viking Cave, Maya Bay photos, lunch buffet, and sunset views.
“Good value for money. Guide and team were super helpful and clear about everything. One member of the team even went down while snorkelling and took a video of the coral and fish for me. Maya bay was beautiful to see. Food and drink were plentiful and lots of time to see the main attractions and take photos.”
Semi-private Ang Thong Marine Park yacht trip from Koh Samui with PADI snorkeling, kayaking options, and Emerald Lake viewpoint time.
“Fun day filled with activities, or choose to relax on the boat if you don’t want to do everything. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Overall a great experience.”

Private teak yacht day from Koh Samui to Ang Thong with sea kayaking, top snorkeling, Blue Lagoon, and crowd-light island time.
“The trip was amazing, there was enough space in the boat, which is very important issue as you don’t have to wait a lot for activities and also you have your private space, very comfortable. It was a great experience and a lot of fun with activities! Snorkeling and canoeing was lovely. Highly recommend this day tour, totally worth it!”
Full-day Pattaya yacht to Koh Phai and Koh Rin with snorkeling, paddleboards, fishing, Thai lunch, and a sunset sail back to town.
“We had a very good Time. The crew is very Nice. I recommend this activity”
Private sail on Koh Samui with a skipper, hostess, and chef, plus open bar and seafood meals, with options for sunset, full day, or Angthong.
“We had a very nice experience with Independence. The crew were very friendly and luckily the weather was very good. The amenities on the yacht were nice and clean and it was very nice just sunbathing on the deck. The canapes were very delicious as well. A bit shame that we didn't get to snorkel that day because of the strong current (if I'm not mistaken).”
Private Blue Dragon yacht to Ang Thong: Emerald Lake snorkeling, sea kayaking, hot tub, Thai meals, hotel pickup from Koh Samui.
“We were looking for a traditional Thai boat experience and we got it. The boat, the crew and the food were perfect. We enjoyed our time on the cruise very much and would do it again.”
Pattaya 3-island yacht trip to Koh Phai, Koh Rin, and more, with snorkeling gear, BBQ lunch, floats, and a late return.
“The program was varied and offered good value for money. Unfortunately, the female members of the accompanying staff were not helpful at all, except for the lady shown in the picture. Our phone was about to run out of battery and we wanted to ask for a little charge, but they refused and were not kind. The lady in the picture helped immediately, smiled, and was kind. She gave us her own power bank. Perhaps the others should not be dealing with customers if it is such a burden for them…”
Phuket catamaran sunset dinner to Coral Island (Koh Hey) with snorkeling gear, island time, and Promthep Cape views.
“Lovely day trip! Great food and lovely boat! only thing is the tour is a lot longer than 5 hours, pick up is at 12 and I got back at 20.45 so just important information for people travelling or if they have evening plans it is a late return! 5 hours tour time is the time on the boat not including travel time.”
5-hour Coral Island catamaran with hotel pickup, snorkeling gear, fishing and a Thai onboard dinner, plus sunset views at Laem Krating.
“sehr enttäuschend! es hat schon angefangen, dass wir 45 Minuten auf den Fahrer warten mussten. dann nach ca 15-20 min Fahrt mussten wir nochmal eine Stunde an einem Treffpunkt warten bis es dann irgendwann zum Hafen ging. hatten und auf Kanu und Paddle Board gefreut, allerdings waren nur 2 Kanus und 1 Board für 40 Leute da, also wieder warten für nur ein paar Minuten fahren. da der Stopp auch nur eine Stunde war hatte man dann auch keine Zeit zum schnorcheln mehr. am Pier wieder angekommen mussten wir eine komplette runde im Bus über die Insel fahren (2 Stunden ) obwohl unser Hotel 15-20in entfernt ist!! der Bus ist…”
Pick a coast, a city, or a kind of day.
