Snorkel, paddleboard and slide into the Andaman Sea, then dance as the sun drops over the water

A full-day catamaran cruise from Phuket to Coral Island and Racha Island combines snorkeling, paddleboarding, water slides and a floating pool with an onboard sunset party featuring a live DJ. The boat departs at 11:00 after hotel pickup and returns by 18:30, with lunch, snorkeling gear, island fees and a professional photographer included. Choose the option with hotel transfers or arrange your own way to the pier.

The Experience

The day starts with pickup from your Phuket hotel (timing depends on where you're staying) and arrival at the pier by 10:30. At 11:00 the catamaran leaves for Coral Island, and lunch is served on board during the crossing. You'll have free time at Banana Beach on Coral Island to swim or join optional activities like banana boat rides or parasailing, then depart by 13:30 for Racha Island. The boat arrives at Racha Yai by 15:00, where the water activities really open up: snorkeling in the surrounding sea, paddleboarding, a sea scooter to pilot yourself, a water slide, and a floating pool to relax in between. A professional photographer moves through the boat capturing moments so you don't have to choose between being in the water and having proof you were there.

At 16:20 the catamaran turns back toward Phuket, and the boat becomes a floating party. A live DJ plays, the crew serves afternoon tea and drinks, and the energy shifts from activity to celebration. By 17:20 you're anchored near Promthep Cape to watch the sunset from the sea—no land between you and the horizon. The return to the pier takes until 18:00 or 18:30, and hotel transfers bring you back if you booked that option. The whole day runs about eight hours from pickup to drop-off.

Snorkeling equipment, paddleboards and sea scooters are all provided, so you bring nothing but a swimsuit and sunscreen. The crew is English, Thai and Chinese-speaking, and travel insurance is included. Water, soft drinks and seasonal fruit are available throughout the day. The boat itself is a catamaran built for stability in the Andaman Sea, and the floating pool and water slide are onboard amenities—you're not swimming to a separate platform. Weather and sea conditions can shift the order of the islands or the snorkeling spots, so the itinerary is a guide rather than a guarantee.

Is this one for you?Book the option with hotel transfers if you're arriving by air or prefer not to navigate to the pier yourself; choose the no-transfer option if you're staying near the waterfront or have your own transport arranged. Either way, the eight-hour window from pickup to return means you're back at your hotel by evening, leaving the rest of your day free.
