Frequently Asked Questions
Where do boat tours leave from Phuket?
Embark on a Luxurious Phuket Boat Tour from a high-quality Marina
For those planning a serene boat tour in Phuket, selecting the right departure point is crucial to ensuring a smooth and luxurious start to your maritime adventure. We prioritize both convenience and quality right from the get-go, choosing only elite marinas for setting sail.
Experience the Best with Five Star Marina Departures
Phuket’s Five Star marinas, renowned for their exclusive and tranquil settings, are the preferred launching points for high-end sea excursions. These marinas offer an unmatched blend of accessibility and luxury. One notable example is the Boat Lagoon Marina, a top choice for Simba Sea Trips due to its proximity to central tourist hubs and its ability to offer quick, traffic-free access to the sea.
Luxury Meets Convenience at Boat Lagoon Marina
Boat Lagoon Marina isn’t just the nearest marina to the bustling tourist centers of Phuket; it’s a gateway to expedited travel and less time stuck in traffic. This strategic choice allows travelers to maximize their vacation time, transitioning smoothly from land to sea without the usual delays encountered in less favorably located piers.
Unwind at the Soho Pool Club Before Your Tour
Enhancing the pre-tour experience, Simba Sea Trips has established its base at the luxurious Soho Pool Club, located within the marina. This beach club-style venue offers more than just spectacular million-dollar views and a relaxing ambiance. As one of the top Thai restaurants in the area, it provides an exquisite culinary experience that begins even before you board the boat.
Avoid the Chaos at Public Piers
Contrastingly, the public piers in Phuket are often crowded with large ferries, fishing vessels, and heavy marine traffic, which can detract from the tranquility typically sought at the start of a sea journey. These bustling environments are a stark contrast to the peaceful, pristine settings offered by Five Star marinas where the focus is on a premium, unhurried experience.
Choose Simba Sea Trips for an Unforgettable Journey
Opting for Simba Sea Trips means choosing a memorable and efficient maritime experience. By minimizing transit times and maximizing leisure, you spend more of your holiday enjoying the breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea and indulging in top-notch Thai cuisine at the Soho Pool Club.

Eco-Friendly Kayaking
We’ve added kayaking to our tours because many guests asked for it. Kayaking lets you explore parts of the islands that our boats can’t reach. You can paddle close to shore, explore undergrowth, or visit nearby caves.
Kayaking also helps us cut down on fuel emissions. The more we paddle, the less we use the boat’s engine. We’ve been in Phuket for over 18 years and care deeply about protecting its natural beauty. Using kayaks is one way we help the environment.
SNORKELING IN THE CORAL REEFS
Our coral delight program includes snorkeling in the region’s prettiest coral reefs. We offer this as part of our private boat tours too. Coral Island and Mai Thon Island are two of the best spots for snorkeling.
We get to these reefs before the other tour boats, so you can enjoy the beautiful fish and corals without the crowds. You might even see dolphins, which often visit these waters.
After snorkeling, you can relax in the sea near the dramatic cliffs, just like at the Phi Phi and Phang Nga bays.
Pricing
The cost of our private boat tours in Phuket varies based on the season, your chosen itinerary, and how many people are in your group.
