Flying Dolphins 1: Three-Deck Luxury Yacht Escape to Phi Phi, Maya Bay & Maithon

A Three-Deck Yacht Designed Like a Floating Resort

Flying Dolphins 1 turns a Phi Phi Island day trip into a complete day of comfort, scenery and fun at sea. This 75-foot wide-body luxury catamaran yacht offers three spacious levels, stable cruising and plenty of room to move around instead of spending the journey confined to one seating area.

From the bright air-conditioned lounge to the panoramic upper cabin, open sun deck, spacious bow and private rear swimming platform, every part of the yacht offers a different way to enjoy the Andaman Sea.

Air-Conditioned Comfort Between Every Island

One of the yacht’s most valuable features is its air-conditioned indoor lounge. After snorkeling, swimming or exploring the islands, guests can return to a cool, comfortable space with leather seating and wide sea-view windows.

The yacht also offers clean hotel-style washrooms with shower and changing facilities, making the day more comfortable for couples, families and guests who prefer a more refined island-hopping experience.

Three Levels of Space and Sea Views

Flying Dolphins 1 provides several distinctive relaxation and photography areas:

• A spacious second-floor air-conditioned lounge with comfortable leather seating
• A bright panoramic upper cabin surrounded by sea views
• An open upper deck with a massage pool and sunbathing space
• A broad bow deck for scenic photographs and sea views
• A wide rear activity platform for swimming and water access
• A private lower swimming platform that helps guests enter and leave the water comfortably

Its modern white interior, open layout and generous deck space make the yacht feel more like a floating holiday villa than ordinary island transportation.

Snorkeling Around Phi Phi Island

The first snorkeling session takes place at a selected site near Phi Phi Island. Guests can explore the tropical water using the provided mask, snorkel, disposable mouthpiece, life jacket and sanitized towel.

The exact snorkeling point may be adjusted by the crew according to sea conditions so that the day remains safe and enjoyable.

Discover Maya Bay by Thai Longtail Boat

After lunch, continue towards the Phi Phi Leh area and explore famous sights such as Viking Cave, scenic lagoons, Maya Bay and Monkey Beach.

A traditional Thai longtail boat is used to enter the inner bay area, offering a more atmospheric way to experience the limestone cliffs, sheltered water and cinematic scenery of Phi Phi.

During Maya Bay’s seasonal closure (01 Aug to 30 Sept), the landing and sightseeing arrangement may be changed. The crew will follow the official rules and actual conditions on the travel date.

Freshly Prepared Meals Throughout the Day

The experience begins with a light breakfast at Visit Panwa Pier, with selections that may include toast, chicken congee, cakes, fruit, juice and coffee.

A seafood buffet lunch is served onboard. Reference dishes include boiled prawns, Thai-style seafood, tom yum chicken soup, fried chicken, stir-fried vegetables, fried rice and spaghetti. The buffet format allows guests to choose the dishes that suit their preferences.

On the return journey, enjoy afternoon tea with selections such as sushi, sashimi, dim sum, desserts, fresh fruit and drinks while relaxing with the evening sea view.

Menus shown in promotional materials are for reference and may change according to the ingredients available on the day.

Maithon Island, Water Activities and Dolphin Spotting

While cruising towards Maithon Island, the crew will look for wild dolphins along the route. The operator estimates approximately a 60% chance of encountering dolphins, but sightings are completely natural and cannot be guaranteed.

Near Maithon Island, enjoy the second snorkeling session together with a wide range of included water activities:

• Approximately 10-metre yacht water slide
• Paddleboards
• Clear boat or transparent kayak
• Floating toys
• Swimming and jumping into the sea
• Relaxing on the yacht’s private water platform

Guests may choose an active afternoon in the water or simply relax onboard and enjoy the surroundings.

Professional Yacht Photography

Flying Dolphins 1 is designed with many attractive photography areas, including the bow, panoramic upper level, sun deck and open sea-view walkways.

A professional DSLR photography service is included, with five complimentary photographs provided for each guest. This gives couples, families and friends a polished visual memory of their Phi Phi yacht experience.

Who Is This Tour Suitable For?

This experience is especially suitable for:

• Couples looking for a premium and photogenic island tour
