Khai & Maithon Islands (8 hrs)

If you've ever wondered why Thai locals grin whenever they talk about Koh Mai Thon, here's the answer: this place actually delivers. The 78-foot Mauritius gets you there in style, and what matters in Thai waters is having a crew that knows which anchorages the day-trippers miss. Our Thai captain and team fall into that category—they've logged thousands of hours around these islands and it shows.

The run from Phuket takes roughly four hours, leaving you four solid hours of snorkeling, swimming, and lounging on powder sand. The reefs here genuinely warrant the hype, though it is recommended you pack reef-safe sunscreen because Thailand's sun doesn't negotiate. The Princess Yacht 78ft handles the distance without drama, accommodating up to 20 guests with proper breathing room.

Thailand has a way of surprising you with weather shifts—monsoon season (May to October) brings warm tropical showers that last minutes, not hours. Cool season (November to February) offers flatter seas and clearer skies. Either way, the Koh Mai Thon/Maiton (Honeymoon Island) experience works because the anchorage itself shields you reasonably well.

What makes this Thai charter special is the crew's ability to pivot plans on the fly. Rough patch near Khai Islands? They'll navigate toward quieter spots. Want fresh seafood grilled dockside? They know which fishermen to ring. The Princess Yacht 78ft paired with local knowledge transforms what could be a standard day cruise into something actually memorable.

Ideal option for exploring Thai islands without the resort hassle.
