Explore four yacht charter destinations from Phuket: Koh Khai Nok, Maiton, Racha and Coral Island. Plan a private day around the water, weather and your group.

Compact, photogenic and easy-going, with white sand and shallow clear water.
A more secluded atmosphere with clear water, coral and an unhurried island mood.
Fine white sand, striking bays and one of the strongest all-round island days near Phuket.
An accessible tropical day with shallow water, beach time and optional marine activities.
A tiny island with a big visual payoff: bright sand, shallow turquoise water and the kind of easy beach stop that works beautifully when you want the day to feel light, relaxed and spontaneous.
Couples, families and groups who want a simple beach-and-swim day rather than a demanding itinerary.
Koh Khai Nok is small and popular, so the mood can be lively when day-trip boats are on the beach.
Its shallow water and visible fish make it approachable for casual swimmers and beginner snorkellers.
A private yacht lets the day revolve around your group instead of a fixed shared-tour timetable.
Settle into the yacht, enjoy the open deck and let the crew shape the route around the day’s conditions.
Swim, take photos and spend time ashore when local conditions and landing access allow.
Return aboard for drinks, conversation and quiet time on deck before heading back toward Phuket.
With Ruangsri, the day is not simply about reaching an island. The open deck, the sea breeze, the changing coastline and the space between stops are part of the experience.
Known in Thai as Ko Mai Thon, this small island southeast of Phuket is prized for clear water, coral, beaches and a more secluded atmosphere — a natural fit for guests who want the charter to feel quiet and restorative.
Couples, small groups and guests who value atmosphere, privacy and a calm island setting.
TAT describes Ko Mai Thon as a small peaceful island with a relaxing ambience and beautiful natural setting.
The island is known for clear water and coral, making swimming and water time central to the experience.
This is the route for guests who want fewer agenda items and more time simply enjoying the yacht and sea.
Leave Chalong Bay and settle into an easy cruise southeast of Phuket.
Anchor where conditions permit and enjoy the water without rushing through a checklist.
Let the middle of the day stretch out aboard Ruangsri before the return toward Phuket.
For guests who want a richer island day, Ko Racha Yai combines fine white sand, clear water, scenic bays and reef snorkelling. It feels more like a destination in its own right than a quick stop.
Guests who want beach time, swimming, snorkelling and a stronger sense of having gone somewhere.
TAT highlights the island’s white sand, scenic bay views and beautiful coastline.
TAT specifically notes coral-reef snorkelling around Ao Khon Khae on the east side of the island.
Racha suits guests who are happy to spend more of the day travelling through open Andaman water.
Racha works best when the journey is treated as part of the day rather than dead travel time.
The captain selects the most suitable anchorage based on conditions, then the day opens into swimming, snorkelling and beach time.
Wind down on deck and enjoy the changing light as Ruangsri heads back toward Chalong Bay.
Ruangsri’s open deck gives the charter a slower rhythm — somewhere to eat, talk, stretch out and enjoy the coastline without needing another activity every minute.
Also known as Koh Hae, Coral Island sits south of Phuket and is one of the easiest ways to turn a free day into a tropical yacht day — clear shallow water, sandy beaches, casual snorkelling and a choice between doing more or doing very little.
Families, mixed groups and guests who want a straightforward tropical day without making the itinerary too ambitious.
TAT describes Coral Island as a tropical destination south of Phuket with sandy beaches and clear shallow water.
Snorkelling and other water activities are commonly available around the island, subject to operators and local conditions.
It can be active for one group and completely relaxed for another — which is exactly where a private charter works well.
Start slowly aboard Ruangsri and let the Phuket coastline fall behind.
Mix island time, swimming and optional activities according to the group’s energy.
Finish with drinks and relaxed deck time rather than racing to fit in another stop.
There is no single “best” destination. The right choice depends on whether you want convenience, quiet, water time, scenery or a fuller sailing day.
A premium experience should protect the place that makes it possible. Follow the crew’s guidance and keep the footprint light.
Enjoy reef areas visually and avoid standing on, collecting or damaging marine life.
The captain may change anchorage, timing or route when safety or comfort requires it.
Keep distance, avoid chasing marine animals and do not feed fish.
Island access and activities can change with weather, local restrictions and operational conditions.
