You're probably thinking that there are loads of speed boat tours available in Phuket.

And yes, there are; however, most of these day trips are not that enjoyable, as they can feel overcrowded and rushed.

These types of tours usually start with a minivan picking you up from your resort, then stopping numerous times along the way to pick up other passengers before you finally arrive at the pier.

The speed boats are usually crowded, as are the locations that the tours go to, and the boat operators run their day trips to a very tight schedule, not leaving you with enough time to truly enjoy your day.

So why not spoil yourself and your loved ones with a day trip to one of the many islands around Phuket on board your very own private speed boat?

Chartering your own private speed boat offers you the flexibility to choose that perfect spot for snorkelling and swimming or just chilling on a secluded beach, away from the mass crowds.

There are some fantastic islands around Phuket you can visit by chartering a speed boat.

From a full day of exciting activities or half-day adventures, or maybe a romantic sunset voyage just for two.

Over the years of travelling to Phuket, we have lost count of the many day trips and tours we have done.

So much so that the kids cringe when we mention the word “daytrip”.

But I am happy to say that our day trip on board this private speed boat tour was perfect for all of us, and most importantly, it got the tick of approval from the kids.

Our private speed boat took us to the beautiful Banana Beach on Coral Island, where we spent hours snorkeling and swimming in the crystal clear waters, away from the crowds and other day trippers.

After lots of snorkeling, we were provided with an ample supply of refreshments and a fruit platter while we enjoyed relaxing on the beach.

When we were ready to move on, we got back on board the speed boat.

Our boat captain suggested that some of the best snorkeling was just offshore, and asked us if we would like to stop there for more snorkeling before we headed on to Bon Island.

He was right, it was amazing, the water was crystal clear, and there was a variety of colourful sea life.

The crew snorkelled alongside us, showing us things we would have missed if they were not there to guide us.

When we were all back on board, we then set off to Bon Island, where we had time to relax and chill out on the beautiful beach.

Our trip on board the private speed boat charter was an amazing experience, and a must-do for anyone heading to Phuket.

Below is a list of some of the wonderful destinations that you can visit by private speed boat from Phuket.
