The Experience
You pick the boat size at checkout — up to 6 or up to 8 guests — and the captain meets you at your hotel for the ride to Chalong Pier. From there, the boat heads to Coral Island first, a relaxed tropical stop close to Phuket known for clear water and easy swimming. You can snorkel, swim near the beach or stay on board with your group; the exact timing adjusts depending on sea conditions and how the day unfolds. Snorkeling gear, life jackets and towels are on board and ready.
The second stop is Maiton Island, a quieter open-sea area with blue water and natural scenery. You swim and snorkel again, or relax on the deck while the water and the coastline do the work. By late afternoon the boat turns south toward Promthep Cape, one of Phuket's most scenic coastal viewpoints. You watch the sunset from the water while the crowds take it in from the viewpoint on the cliff above — drinks and fresh fruit on board, the light changing over the water, and the cape framed from a vantage most visitors never reach.
Behind the day is AquaTour, a Phuket marine team that has sold, serviced and built boats since 2014. Professional captains, in-house mechanics and a fully insured fleet keep every trip safe and ready to sail. Lunch is prepared on board; round-trip hotel transfer to and from Chalong Pier is included, along with snorkeling equipment, towels, bottled water, fresh fruit and one complimentary bottle of champagne per charter. Additional alcoholic drinks are available to order.
