Private Motor Yacht Charter — Phang Nga Bay Sunset
Check availability
A private sunset cruise through Phang Nga Bay on our Sealine SC35 motor yacht, for up to 6 passengers. Pickup is around 1:45pm and you leave Boat Lagoon Marina around 2pm. The trip takes about 4 hours 30 minutes and visits James Bond Island and the Hong sea caves before sunset. National park fees are included.
The Sealine SC35 has a shaded cockpit, a cabin with air-conditioning, a toilet and a shower. Twin 320 hp diesel engines cruise at about 24 knots, so the run into the bay is quick and comfortable. For only a little more than our speedboat charter, a small group gets a yacht.
Times are approximate; tides and sea conditions decide the order.
Simba Sea Trips has run boat trips from Boat Lagoon Marina since 2005. Across Simba Sea Trips, we have 5,814 reviews. All our boats carry commercial maritime and personal-accident insurance.

The classic Phi Phi day done properly. Catch sunrise at sea during the ~1hr 10min speedboat transit from Boat Lagoon Marina, then step onto Maya Bay around 7:15am — about an hour ahead of every other operator. Seven stops over eight hours, max 18 adults, buffet lunch back at Soho Pool Club. Year-round, all-inclusive from ฿5,310 THB, free cancellation 24h+. Maya Bay closes for ecosystem rejuvenation each August-September; we substitute Bamboo Island.
Max 18 adults · From ฿5,310 · Free cancellation 24h+ · All-inclusive
Afternoon Phi Phi run with a shark-spotting stop on the way home. Same itinerary as Sunrise but sunset-side. Dry season only — we don't run this in May–October because Andaman afternoon thunderstorms make sunset returns unsafe.
Max 18 adults · From ฿4,810 · Free cancellation 24h+ · All-inclusive
Limestone karsts, hidden sea caves, mangrove kayaking, and the iconic Khao Phing Kan ("James Bond Island"). Smallest group sizes among local operators — most boats running this route carry 30–60. We carry 18. Lunch on board.

Sara and Daniel and even the Captain were amazing. They TRULY understand the hospitality business and making people’s e
experience enjoyable and memorable. I cannot even capture how amazing they were and my experience. The boat was also large so I did not feel any discomfort whatsoever with other people around or with the sea waters.

Simba Sea Trips – Phi Phi Sunrise Tour (Maya Bay Before the Crowds)
September 2, 2026 | 3 Adults
We booked the Phi Phi Sunrise – Maya Bay Before the Crowds tour, and it was an unforgettable experience.
We were staying in Old Phuket Town, so rather than using the included pickup and drop-off, we drove to the marina and met the group at 5:45 AM. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with coffee, tea, and light morning snacks while the team went over the tour details.
We boarded the speedboat, though we soon discovered one engine had an issue as we set out. The captain quickly contacted the base, and we turned back to switch to another boat. Despite the minor hiccup, the captain, his assistant, and the tour guide were all fantastic—professional, calm, and reassuring throughout.
On our way out, we spotted some monkeys, and about an hour into the journey, we were treated to a breathtaking sunrise over the Andaman Sea.
Our first stop was Bamboo Beach, where we enjoyed about an hour of swimming. Next, we headed to Pi Leh Bay, with its stunning crystal-clear water, followed by snorkeling just around the corner—it was incredible to see such a variety of colorful fish and corals.
We then cruised past Viking Cave and stopped at Maya Bay, the iconic filming location for Leonardo DiCaprio's 2000 film The Beach. From there, we went to Monkey Bay, but unfortunately no monkeys were around, so we moved a bit further and did some more snorkeling instead.
Our final stop was Rang Yai Island, where we spent an hour swimming at the beach and relaxing with a couple of cold beers.
Throughout the trip, the crew provided breakfast, fresh fruit, and a range of beverages. After a full, event-filled day, we returned to the marina and enjoyed a delicious lunch.
I would highly recommend Simba Sea Trips to anyone looking for a safe, well-organized, and truly memorable tour of the Phi Phi Islands.

Made the best of spotty weather and VERY rough waters. We cute the trip short due to rough water. Nothing the tour company could have done differently. The pick up was 10 mins late. Lots of great snacks on the boat. Very helpful with snorkeling. Overall very good under bad weather conditions.

We had a wonderful time on Phi Phi Island with Captain Dang, Za, and our wonderful host Momo. The entire crew was full of energy and excitement, and they made sure our family of four enjoyed every single part of the day.
The private charter was spacious and even had a toilet on board, which made a huge difference with kids. The itinerary was flexible, the views were breathtaking, and the beaches were beautiful.
We finished the day with a delicious meal at Soho Pool Club - the perfect ending. We had a fantastic time on this excursion and highly recommend this private tour.

Incredible experience with Simba. Although they are more expensive than other providers they are well worth the experience. They take a max of 18 people, although we only had 8 and 3 staff. Our captain, guide Noi Noi and deckhand David. All 3 were incredible and Noi Noi and David would get in the water and point out the sharks, snakes and fish for us to see. Being one of the first on Maya Bay meant less crowds and great photo opportunities. Then at every stop there after we were one of very few boats or the only people. The snacks were plentiful on the boat and the lunch back at the Marina was some of the best Thai we’ve had. Overall this was an incredible experience and a trip definitely paying additional for.

An Absolutely Unforgettable Experience – Highly Recommended! This was truly one of the most incredible experiences of my life! A huge thank you to the entire Simba Sea Trips team, especially our wonderful tour guide, Mr. Noi, who was exceptionally kind, attentive, and knowledgeable throughout the day. We saw baby sharks, clownfish, and stunning rainbow-colored tropical fish while snorkeling. It honestly felt like swimming in an aquarium! The team knew exactly where to find the different marine species and guided us to the best spots, making the experience even more special. Everything was perfectly organized, from the snorkeling equipment and fins to the constant snacks and refreshments. The boat was extremely comfortable, and every little detail was thoughtfully taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! It was truly magical, and we will remember this day forever. If you’re visiting Phuket, this tour is an absolute must! Thank you, Simba Sea Trips, and…
