One private day. Something for everyone.
Head south from Phuket to Racha Noi and Racha Yai, where green hills meet white sand and inviting blue water. Enjoy the freedom of your own boat, with your captain, crew and dive guides taking care of the day.
Dive the Racha Islands
Two guided tropical reef dives: one planned at Racha Noi and one at Racha Yai. Your dive guides choose sites to suit the group and conditions.
Share lunch by the sea
Enjoy a freshly prepared Thai lunch together, with time to catch up between adventures. A beach picnic is planned where landing conditions allow; otherwise, lunch is served aboard.
Swim, paddle, relax
Snorkel in the bays, take a turn on the paddleboard or stretch out on a beach mat. There is plenty to enjoy above the surface while the divers explore below.
Your whole day, thoughtfully arranged
Your private charter includes the boat, activities, meals and transfers. Comfortable covered seating, an open bow, an onboard toilet and a freshwater shower make the time between island stops just as enjoyable.
Private boat & Phuket transfers
Your own private speedboat for the day, with captain and crew. Up to 10 guests (maximum 6 scuba divers), with return transfers from your hotel or villa anywhere in Phuket.

A few useful details
Is the boat exclusively ours, and is the price for the whole group?
Yes. The speedboat is reserved just for your group, with your captain, crew and dive guides. The advertised price is for the whole private charter, for up to 10 guests (maximum 6 scuba divers). It is not a per-person price.
Can divers and snorkellers enjoy the same trip?
Absolutely. You travel together to Racha Noi and Racha Yai, with two guided dives for the divers and time for snorkelling, swimming and paddleboarding for the rest of the group. Lunch and time to relax bring everyone back together between adventures.
Do I need to be a qualified diver?
Scuba participants must already hold a diving certification. We check your qualification, recent diving experience and equipment needs before confirming the dive plan. Non-divers are welcome to join as snorkellers and enjoy the islands above the surface.
Where do you collect us, and how long is the day?
Return transfers from your hotel or villa anywhere in Phuket are included. Your island day lasts seven hours from departure to return at Chalong Pier, including cruising, activity stops and lunch, plus your road transfers. We confirm your pickup and expected return times for your location and travel date.
Do I need scuba-diving insurance?
Thailand Divers requires all certified divers joining scuba day trips, liveaboards or courses for certified divers to have their own suitable scuba-diving insurance before diving. This includes Refresher, Advanced Open Water, Nitrox and Deep Diver courses. Insurance is not included in these bookings.
Your existing travel insurance or personal dive insurance is acceptable if it covers your planned scuba diving in Thailand, including the activities, maximum depth and all dive dates, with cover for dive-accident medical treatment, emergency evacuation and recompression chamber treatment. Check eligibility, limits and exclusions with your insurer and bring confirmation of cover.
If you already have suitable cover, you do not need to buy another policy. If you need cover, see our scuba insurance guide and DAN short-term option. Check the policy before purchasing.
Scuba-diving accident cover is included for Discover Scuba Diving, Explore Scuba and Open Water students during their booked course, subject to eligibility and policy terms. These students do not need to arrange separate scuba cover for those course activities. This does not replace travel insurance or cover later certified fun dives.
What should we bring?
Bring swimwear, sunglasses, a sun hat and a change of clothes for the journey back. Towels, snorkelling equipment and standard scuba equipment are included. Let us know about dietary requirements and equipment sizes when booking so we can prepare for your group.
How do we check availability and book?
Use the button below to send us your preferred date, Phuket hotel or villa, and the numbers of divers and snorkellers. We will confirm availability, your pickup arrangements, and the payment and cancellation terms before you commit.
What happens if the weather affects our trip?
Your captain and dive guides may adjust the route, dive sites or beach stops to suit the weather and sea conditions. If conditions are unsafe, the trip may be cancelled. We will explain the options available and the applicable cancellation terms before you book. Beach landings and marine-life sightings cannot be guaranteed.
