Ocean King Catamaran Yacht — 35 Guests Phi Phi Blue Escapes & Maithon Sunset

Phi Phi blues, a spacious yacht and a sunset journey home

The sea changes character throughout this day: open blue water on the journey from Phuket, emerald shades beneath Phi Phi’s cliffs, and warm evening light as Ocean King heads home. This Phi Phi and Maithon catamaran yacht tour brings those moments together with time to enjoy the boat itself.

Departing from Chalong Pier, the programme combines sightseeing, a longtail boat experience, snorkeling and onboard dining. Maithon is a visit to the surrounding waters, with a chance to spot wild dolphins; it is not a beach-landing stop.

More room to find your favourite spot

Ocean King offers the space of a 65-passenger vessel while limiting this shared departure to 35 guests. Across two levels, you can move between shaded sofa seating, open deck areas and upper-deck sea views as the journey unfolds.

Settle into a seat with friends, enjoy the breeze on deck or take a quiet moment looking out over the water. The yacht is part of the day’s enjoyment, rather than simply transport between island stops.

Highlights to look forward to

• A two-level catamaran yacht with a maximum of 35 guests.
• Phi Phi Don scenery and a stop at Monkey Beach, with landing subject to tides and conditions.
• A traditional longtail ride at Pileh Lagoon, framed by tall limestone cliffs.
• Maya Bay beach sightseeing when access is permitted.
• Two planned snorkeling sessions, with locations adjusted to conditions.
• A waterslide, floating pool, paddleboards and transparent kayaks during activity stops.
• Buffet lunch, mango sticky rice, shrimp baguette bites and later BBQ snacks.
• Onboard photography with five photos per person.
• An evening cruise through Maithon waters, where wild dolphins may be seen.

Phi Phi Don and Monkey Beach

Your first island scenery arrives around Phi Phi Don. At Monkey Beach, enjoy the coastline and look for the resident macaques. Depending on the tide and landing conditions, the stop may be viewed from the boat rather than from the beach.

Keep a respectful distance from wildlife and follow the guide’s instructions throughout the visit.

Pileh Lagoon by traditional longtail

The scale of Phi Phi Leh’s cliffs feels different from a traditional longtail boat. Cruise into Pileh Lagoon for emerald-water scenery and photo opportunities, with the limestone walls rising close around you.

The longtail experience is part of the standard programme. Guests who book the optional scuba session use this time for diving and do not join the longtail lagoon experience.

Maya Bay: beach scenery beneath the cliffs

Maya Bay brings together pale sand, clear water and a dramatic limestone backdrop. When the bay is open and access is permitted, go ashore for beach sightseeing and photographs. This is a sightseeing stop, not a swimming session; swimming in Maya Bay is prohibited.

There is no landing during official closure periods. Park instructions and daily access conditions take priority over the planned schedule.

Snorkeling and playful time on the water

Two snorkeling sessions are planned: one near Phi Phi and another at the “Nemo” snorkeling area when conditions allow. Discover the underwater scenery with the guide team’s assistance, then choose from the yacht’s waterslide, floating pool, paddleboards and transparent kayaks when they are set up for use.

The second stop may move to Maithon waters if the planned snorkeling area is unsuitable. Activity availability, visibility and marine-life sightings depend on conditions. Optional scuba diving costs extra and must be arranged in advance; it replaces the longtail lagoon experience during that time slot.

Maithon waters and the possibility of dolphins

As the day moves towards evening, the route continues through the waters around Maithon Island. Look across the sea for wild dolphins and enjoy the changing light from the deck. Sightings are a possibility, never a promise.

This part of the programme is enjoyed from the boat. No landing on Maithon Island is scheduled.

A day of sea-view dining

Begin with bread, biscuits, coffee and tea at the pier, followed by a welcome drink and seasonal fruit onboard. Lunch is served on the yacht, so you can stay close to the sea views while enjoying a buffet of pasta, tomato and egg, fried chicken, beef and potato stew, mixed vegetables, salad and rice.

After the first snorkeling session, enjoy mango sticky rice, shrimp baguette bites and soft drinks. Later, BBQ skewers, sandwiches, chicken wraps, pudding, biscuits and fruit accompany the return journey, with soft drinks and sparkling wine also served. Menus may vary with daily preparation; please discuss dietary requirements before booking.

Bring home a few favourite moments

The yacht’s decks, sea views and island scenery offer plenty of opportunities for photographs. An onboard photographer accompanies the trip, with five photos per person provided as part of the experience.

Who this tour suits

Ocean King suits couples, friends and families with children aged one and above who want a full day of island scenery, snorkeling and yacht time. The 35-guest limit is appealing if you value space, while the longtail ride and water activities add variety to the day.

Expect a full day at sea, transfers between boats and movement on wet decks. Guests aged 55 and above should confirm suitability and acceptance with Sea Me Again before booking.
