Our join in catamaran has a capacity of 30 however for your personal comfort we only take a maximum of 15 passengers. We visit secluded bays so this trip has everything for those who want to avoid overcrowded boats
Racha Yai has some really good reefs for local snorkeling. The speed boat takes 40 mins to travel the 23 km from Chalong Marina to the island that’s South of Phuket.
This trip suits families as well as couples & singles, as the trip departs in the morning the snorkeling sites tend to have not so many snorkelers in the morning as most boats tend to leave the island at 1pm.
