Bellina Catamaran to Racha & Coral Island with Sunset Party

🛥️ Luxury Day Cruise: Sailing to Racha & Coral Island with Sunset Party

Step away from the standard crowded speedboats and elevate your Phuket holiday with the ultimate island-hopping experience. Aboard the spacious and stable Bellina Catamaran, this premium day trip departs from Chalong Pier to explore two of the Andaman Sea’s most spectacular gems: Racha Yai Island and Coral Island. Seamlessly blending tropical relaxation, thrilling water sports, an on-board feast, and a high-energy sunset foam party, this curated cruise is designed for travelers seeking a touch of luxury on the water.

🏝️ Destination Spotlights

📍 Racha Yai Island (Koh Racha)

Known as one of the region’s premier snorkeling and diving sanctuaries, Racha Yai Island is celebrated for its breathtaking clarity and dramatic underwater visibility. Nestled in a horseshoe-shaped bay flanked by powdery white sand, the island features vibrant coral gardens teeming with marine life, including colorful parrotfish, bannerfish, and sea anemones. The calm, turquoise waters create a perfect natural swimming pool, making it an ideal first stop for underwater exploration and launching the catamaran’s water activities.

📍 Coral Island (Koh Hey)

Living up to its name, Coral Island is a vibrant tropical playground situated just a short cruise from Phuket’s southern coast. The island boasts pristine shorelines shaded by lush, overhanging jungle canopy. While it offers excellent shallow-water reef snorkeling right off the beach, Coral Island is famously known as the thrill-seeker’s hub. Visitors can relax on premium beach loungers or dive into optional seaside adventures like parasailing, banana boat rides, and sea walking along the sandy sea floor.

🌟 The Bellina Catamaran On-Board Experience

🌊 The Custom Water Slider & Paddleboards

Why take the stairs when you can slide into paradise? The Bellina Catamaran features a custom-built water slide that plunges you directly into the warm ocean waves. For those looking to explore the calm bays at a more relaxed pace, our premium stand-up paddleboards allow you to glide smoothly right over the shallow reefs.

🍽️ Authentic Thai Set Lunch on Board

Enjoy a freshly prepared, authentic Thai set lunch served directly on deck. Featuring locally sourced ingredients, fresh seafood accents, and a selection of seasonal tropical fruits, this midday feast is paired with panoramic, 360-degree views of the surrounding islands.

🎣 Golden Hour Sunset Fishing near Promthep Cape

As the heat of the day softens, the Bellina Catamaran cruises toward the iconic waters off Promthep Cape. The crew sets up traditional handline fishing gear, giving you the chance to catch local snapper or mackerel against the backdrop of Phuket’s most legendary golden sunset.

🧼 The Ultimate Deck Foam Party

When the sun finally dips beneath the horizon, the atmosphere shifts from laid-back island vibes to a high-energy celebration. The wide deck transforms into a floating dance floor featuring an eco-friendly foam party, custom lighting, and an upbeat sound system—creating a truly unforgettable finale to your journey back to the marina.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions: Bellina Catamaran Day Trip

Q: Where does the tour depart from, and is hotel transfer included?
A: The Bellina Catamaran departs directly from Chalong Pier, located in the southern part of Phuket. Standard air-conditioned minivan transfers are included from major tourist hubs across Phuket (such as Patong, Kata, Karon, and Phuket Town). If you are staying in remote areas like Mai Khao or Nai Yang, a small additional transfer surcharge may apply.

Q: Is this catamaran trip suitable for people who get seasick?
A: Yes! Catamarans are twin-hulled vessels, meaning they are significantly more stable and undergo far less “rocking” than traditional single-hull speedboats or longtails. If you are highly prone to motion sickness, we recommend taking a motion sickness pill (available complimentary at check-in) 30 minutes before departure.

Q: Are the onboard water slide and foam party safe for children?
A: Absolutely. Safety is our top priority.
   – The Slider: Guests must wear life jackets when using the water slide, and our crew monitors the splash zone at all times.
   – The Foam Party: We use high-quality, dermatologically tested, eco-friendly foam that is non-irritating to eyes and skin, making it perfectly safe for kids and adults alike.

Q: What should I pack for the day?
A: We highly recommend bringing the following essentials:
– Swimwear, a beach towel, and a change of dry clothes for the ride home.
– Reef-safe sunscreen (standard sunscreens containing oxybenzone are banned in Thai National Parks to protect marine life).
– A waterproof bag (Dry Bag) for your phone, camera, and valuables.
– Pocket money for alcoholic drinks at the bar or optional beach activities on Coral Island.

Q: Do I need any prior experience for the sunset fishing or paddleboarding?
A: Not at all! Our experienced crew will set up the traditional handline fishing gear and guide you through the basics near Promthep Cape. For the stand-up paddleboards, the calm, sheltered bays of Racha Island provide the perfect, flat water surface for beginners to easily find their balance.

Q: What is your policy regarding bad weather?
A: Your safety is our absolute boundary. We monitor marine weather and wave height forecasts closely. If the local authorities deem conditions unsafe to sail to Racha Island or Coral Island, the tour will be canceled. In this event, you will be offered the choice to reschedule for a later date or receive a full refund. But if customer cancel the trip due to the weather will be not refundable.
