Khai & Maithon Islands (8 hrs)
Last season, a guest on the Lisa accidentally dropped their wedding ring overboard near Maithon Island—and our dive team actually found it. That's the kind of thing that happens when you're chartering a proper 55-footer with crew who know these waters inside out. Thailand proves that turquoise has at least 50 shades, and this eight-hour run from Phuket to Koh Mai Thon/Maiton (Honeymoon Island) shows off most of them.
The Lisa, a Princess Yacht 55ft motor yacht, handles the Andaman's temperamental moods like a seasoned pro. November through February brings calm conditions and that crisp tropical light—ideal for underwater photography. But here's the best part about Thailand: even monsoon season (June-October) works beautifully if you respect the weather. Those brief, warm showers? Honestly, they're part of the authentic experience, not a bug.
What matters in Thai waters is preparation. Reef-safe sunscreen isn't optional—the sun here is genuinely intense. Pack essentials because remote islands like Maiton have minimal facilities. The air-conditioned comfort on Lisa becomes non-negotiable after a few hours anchored in tropical heat.
Your crew handles everything: mooring, snorkeling logistics, lunch prep. You'll see pristine coral, possibly sea turtles, and definitely some jaw-dropping limestone formations. It is recommended you bring an underwater camera. Eight guests maximum means actual space to breathe, which makes sense for Thailand's more intimate island experience.
Perfect choice for your Thailand yacht charter—especially if you want somewhere quiet without the Phi Phi crowds.
