Private Boat Tour Phuket: Custom Itinerary Design
Six to eight hours tailored to what you actually want to see
A private boat tour from Phuket where you and your guide design the day together instead of following a fixed route. The boat, crew and guide are yours alone. You choose whether to snorkel in deserted coves, explore caves near James Bond Island, visit the Phi Phi or Raya Islands, or anchor at a quiet beach for a picnic. All destinations stay within an hour of Phuket, and the itinerary shifts on the water to suit conditions and your mood.

The experience
You arrive at the office for a briefing with coffee or tea, store any luggage you won't need, and then board the boat. The guide and captain are waiting to hear what you're after: snorkeling in spots tourists don't reach, a romantic beach setup, hidden caves, a family dolphin-spotting run, or something else entirely. This is not a tour that follows a script. You tell them the experience you want, and they build it.
The boat carries snorkeling gear, life jackets, and fresh fruit and cold drinks for the day. You might anchor off Koh Rang Yai to swim and eat, or push toward the limestone cliffs and caves of Phang Nga, or head to the Raya Islands if the water is calm. The guide adjusts the plan as the day unfolds. If the wind picks up, if you find a reef worth staying on longer, if you want to chase the sunset from a different beach. Everything is included except lunch and the national park entry fee (400 THB per adult, 200 THB per child if you visit a protected area).
An air-conditioned vehicle picks you up from your hotel and brings you back. The boat itself is private: no other groups, no schedule to keep except the one you set. Infants travel in a pram or stroller, and the crew can arrange specialized infant seats if you need them.
Is this one for you?Book this if you've done the standard Phuket boat tours and want to explore what the guides actually know instead of the usual stops, or if you have a specific idea in mind (a quiet beach, a cave, a family outing), and want the boat and crew to build the day around it rather than fit you into a schedule.

Top questions
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
Can I snorkel on a private boat tour from Phuket?
Yes. Snorkeling equipment is included, and the guide will take you to deserted spots and reefs you choose, not the crowded tourist sites. You decide how much time to spend in the water and where.
What if I've already seen Phi Phi and James Bond Island?
The whole point of this tour is that you don't follow the standard route. Tell the guide what you haven't done or what you want to try instead (hidden caves, a different island, a beach picnic, dolphin spotting), and they'll design the day around that.
How long is the private boat tour and what's included in the price?
The tour runs six to eight hours and includes the private boat, guide, snorkeling equipment, life jackets, fresh fruit, cold drinks, bottled water, and hotel pickup. National park fees (if you enter a protected area) and lunch are separate.
Do I need to decide the whole itinerary before I book?
No. You tell the operator what kind of experience you want when you book, but the guide finalizes the exact route with you on the morning of the tour, after hearing what the conditions are like and what you're most interested in.
Is the boat private, or will there be other groups?
The boat is entirely private. Just you, your group, the guide, captain and crew. No other travelers share the boat or the day.
