Private Speed Boat Charter in Phuket
By Paula Parker
Best Day Trips to the Offshore Islands around Phuket
Private Speed Boat Charter day trips are by far the best and most enjoyable way to take in the natural beauty of the offshore islands around Phuket.
Day trips aboard a private speed boat are perfect for people in search of a relaxing and enjoyable day on the water.
Snorkeling and island hopping from one island to another, aboard your very own private speed boat.
No mass crowds on-board!
Just the Captain and an experienced guide, you and your family or friends.
Your probably thinking that there are lots of speed boat tours available in Phuket.
And yes there is, however most of these day trips are not that enjoyable, as they are overcrowded and rushed.
Theses types of tours usually start with a mini van picking you up from your resort then stopping numerous times along the way to pick up other passengers before you finally arrive at the pier.
The speed boats are usually crowded, as are the locations that the tours go to and the boat operators run their day trips to a very tight schedule, not leaving you with enough time to truly enjoy your day.
So why not spoil yourself and your loved ones, with a day trip to one of the many islands around Phuket on-board your very own private speed boat.
Chartering your own private speed boat offers you the flexibility to choose that perfect spot for snorkeling and swimming or just chilling on a secluded beach, away from the mass crowds.
There are some fantastic islands around Phuket you can visit by chartering a speed boat.
From a full day of exciting activities or half day adventures, or maybe a romantic sunset voyage just for two.
Over the years of traveling to Phuket we have lost count of the many day trips and tours we have done.
So much so, that the kids cringe when we mention the word “daytrip”.
But I am happy to say that our day trip on-board this private speed boat tour was perfect for all of us, and most importantly it got the tick of approval from the kids.
Our private speed boat took us to the beautiful Banana Beach on Coral Island where we spent hours snorkeling and swimming in the crystal clear waters, away from the crowds and other day trippers.
After lots of snorkeling we were provided with an ample supply of refreshments and a fruit platter while we enjoyed relaxing on the beach.
When we were ready to move on, we got back on board the speed boat.
The Captain then suggested that some of the best snorkeling was just offshore, and asked us if we would like to stop there for more snorkeling before we headed on to Bon island.
He was right, it was amazing the water was crystal clear and there was a variety of colourful sea life.
The crew snorkelled alongside us showing us things we would have missed if they were not there to guide us.
When we were all back on board, we then set off to Bon Island where we had time to relax and chill out on the beautiful beach.
Our trip on board the private speed boat charter was an amazing experience and a must do for anyone heading to Phuket.
Below is a list of some of the wonderful destinations and packages that you can visit by private speed boat from Phuket.
