Private Yacht Charter In Koh Samui With Chef

We stay in Koh Samui with our family in July and this was one of the best days of our holiday. The boat was very nice and not crowded because it was only for us. The crew was friendly and always smiling. They take us to nice snorkeling spots and also to a quiet beach that you can only reach by boat. The water was so clear and the kids really enjoyed it. Lunch cooked by the chef was fresh and very good. We never felt rushed and the whole day was relaxed. Thank you to all the crew for making our family trip so special. We hope to come back next time we visit Samui.

While of course the beautiful 52-foot perfectly-finished boat and the location, the stunning Gulf of Thailand, already make the perfect experience for incredible memories which will last a lifetime, the fantastic hospitality from Captain Luca and his amazing crew really make this 100% guaranteed the best experience you could ever have on your vacation. Their warmth and sincerity (and the prosecco they serve) really completed the perfect day. **Bonus tip: to my complete surprise, if you have some Zucchero numbers queued up in your playlist that will completely take the experience over the edge!

Absolutely fabulous. Me and my boyfriend did the 9 hour to kho panghan. I’d say do the 9 hour over half day. It’s worth the money and you aren’t rushed around at all. Food and staff was amazing, seriously nothing bad to say. Beautiful trip

We had such a wonderful day in Koh Phangan with Luka and his team. From the moment they picked us up at the hotel, everything was perfect — thoughtful, warm and incredibly well organized. The captain and his crew made us feel completely at home, as if we were spending the day on our own private sailboat. The chef prepared delicious food, and we were welcomed with cappuccinos and croissants for breakfast. We visited beautiful, almost deserted beaches, swam, snorkeled and paddleboarded, and enjoyed the islands at our own pace. The crew also did a wonderful job adjusting the itinerary to make sure we were comfortable and could enjoy the day despite the weather. We were three adult women, and this was honestly one of the best days of our trip. Thank you, Luka and team, for making it so special. Absolutely recommend!

Top Yacht, Top Staff & Top service 👌

Koh Phangan Full-day adventures My wife and me booked this full day package with Luca and his amazing crew. There attention to detail is excellent. Being Italian Luca knows his wine and food which was fantastic. This was truly an amazing cruise with just my wife and me plus the skipper and crew and chef. Here to my next with Independence Yatch Charter Kou Samui. You can't afford not to book them when you're in Koh Samui . You need to experience the adventure with Luca and his crew.

Absolutely amazing. Very professional and f the service food and whole experience was just fantastic. Luca and his crew made whole experience something never to forget for my wife and me

We had an amazing experience from start to finish! Everything was absolutely perfect. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout the whole experience. They made us feel so special and took great care of us, always making sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish was fresh and beautifully prepared. Everything we tried was excellent. The atmosphere, the service, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t have asked for a better day, and it made our bachelorette celebration even more memorable. A huge thank you to the entire team – we would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Koh Samui!

The food was incredible, the boat was comfortable for four of us and the crew was attentive and made sure we had the best time! The marine park was amazing and our bosun was the best he showed us hidden caves and took us to a private beach where we had the best day. So had we booked this trip with this crew - made our last day in Koh samui unforgettable!

Overall the experience was amazing. The crew was friendly and professional. Took us around to a few good spots. And tended to anything and everything we needed

Great experience to see Samui by boat. Spent 3 nights and 4 full days in the Independence, family of 4.

Our honeymoon in Thailand became even more special thanks to this amazing private Koh Phangan day tour with Independence Yacht Charter. The snorkeling around Koh Phangan was absolutely incredible crystal clear water, colorful tropical fish and beautiful quiet spots far from the crowds. One of the highlights of our trip to Koh Samui. We also visited a stunning deserted beach reachable only by boat, surrounded by an incredible contrast of tropical jungle, dramatic rocks and turquoise sea. It truly felt like discovering a hidden paradise. The service on board was top class from start to finish. The crew was professional, friendly and always attentive, making us feel relaxed and welcome the entire day. The food prepared by the chef on board was outstanding, fresh, authentic and beautifully presented, much more than you would expect on a boat tour. Enjoying a delicious lunch while sailing around the islands made the whole experiance unforgettable. If you are looking for a romantic private yacht experience in Koh Samui or the best Koh Phangan snorkeling tour for couples or honeymooners, we highly recommend Independence Yacht Charter. Truly a perfect day at sea ❤️⛵🌴

Amazing trip from start to finish. Staff were incredible and the food was amazing. Full day private tour. Exactly what we wanted to remember our holiday in Koh Samui. Kids were catered for (very fussy 7 year old). Thank you so much to Luca for getting us in and for his team for looking after us so well. We will be back!!

A thoroughly enjoyable, wonderful day spent with a great crew. Lunch was excellent, so was the open bar! Time spent relaxing on the sundeck and visiting some great beaches. Highly recommended.

Luca and team were exceptional, attentive and very helpful. We truly enjoyed a peaceful private sailing yacht experience.

We took a sunset cruise to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The experience was beyond amazing, the staff was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable! Thank you for making this day so special!

What an experience. We had the best day on board! And the food was absolutely amazing. Thanks for a birthday I will remember forever

Incredible seafood lunch and sunset nibbles. Beautiful day out in the water the crew were so helpful and ensuring we had everything we could ask for shade, drinks and even organised a birthday cake for our event. The snorkelling and paddle boards were fun. Clean facilities, boat in good condition. This was a wonderful experience made better by the crew. Highly recommend this

Amazing experience - they treated us like royalty . We threw them off by not being drinkers , they literally thought something was wrong 😆 would highly recommend especially if you want to get away from all the tourist things and have a truly exceptional experience

We are a newly married couple and my husband surprised me with the most incredible wedding gift: a private day tour to Ang Thong Marine Park with Independence Yacht Charter. From the moment we stepped on board, everything felt exclusive, elegant and perfectly organized. The yacht is stunning, refined in every detail and incredibly comfortable. As a surprise, the crew welcomed me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers such a romantic and thoughtful touch that made the day even more emotional. Sailing towards the breathtaking Ang Thong Marine Park was pure magic. Emerald waters, dramatic limestone cliffs and hidden lagoons created a dreamlike setting. The highlight was reaching a secret lagoon inside the park, where we enjoyed a chilled bottle of Champagne surrounded by spectacular scenery. It felt intimate, cinematic and unforgettable. The special onboard menu was exceptional. Fresh Mediterranean ingredients, beautifully presented dishes and an indulgent truffle pasta that tasted like fine dining in the middle of the ocean. Every detail was curated with care. The service was absolutely impeccable professional, discreet and always attentive, while giving us complete privacy to enjoy our moment as newlyweds. It was not just a boat trip to Ang Thong Marine Park. It was an emotional, romantic and truly luxury experience we will remember forever. For couples looking for something extraordinary in Koh Samui, this is simply perfect.

Can’t asked for better experience than this!! Very friendly and knowledgeable team that makes our trip amazing!!🙏🏻 Thanks so much for the experience to independent travel.

Beautiful day trip to Angthong Marine park. Had so much fun exploring the mini islands in the area. Staff was so kind and very accommodating with food allergies, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend.

Excellent day cruising the seas off Koh Samui. Everything was organised so well, from start of finish. All the staff onboard were so friendly and the food served was delicious. We just couldn’t ask for more. Would highly recommend this trip. If you’re looking to do something special, then this is a must. Thank you.

What an amazing day! We went on this private one day trip to Ang Thong. The ship is beautifull, the staff super friendly, the food delicious. Everyone goes out of their way to make this experince unforgettable. And they succeeded, thank you for that!

One of the best experience in Koh Samui and Luca and his team are an amazing host and Mr Eee is amazing lead on the boat who makes sure everything is top notch. Food was amazing and champagne was too good

First class food and excellent attentive staff. We were amazed how our chef could provide such wonderful gourmet food from a tiny kitchen! Safety was paramount and we felt safe throughout. Having the yacht to ourselves made my friend's 60th birthday extra special. Thank you to the staff for the beautiful cake! Would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a personalised high class service

Beautiful boat, incredibly friendly and professional staff, food was excellent and it made our final days between Koh Phangan and Koh Samui memorable for our entire group! Definitely will come back and book another ocean tour with the crew and can highly recommend them for anyone wanting to book a solid experience. Thank you very much and see you again next time!

Luca did a fantastic job organizing the trip, with smart planning and accurate weather forecasting that helped us adjust our itinerary when conditions changed. The coordination with D9 Financial Jobs was smooth and professional. On deck, Nok was an exceptional host—warm, attentive, and always ready to help. The follow-up throughout was flawless, and the entire experience was both relaxing and well-managed. Highly recommended!

Even though Luca could not make it to captain the boat for us - his crew did a fantastic job this whole day. From picking us up in a VIP charter vehicle, to a 3 course lunch with wine and then canapés with Prosecco for the sunset.... plus the secluded beaches for us to explore and relax on.... this was an experience would would want to live again. Plus it happened to be my birthday - so the boat was decorated and we were served a birthday cake to add to the experience. Luca was good enough to change our date to put us on the best day possible to maximise our experience. With a storm moving through North Thailand, the winds were a bit strong for the Marine park, so we were offered a tailored package on the neighbouring island of Ko Phangan. We decided for ourselves to ride the front of the vessel - we did get wet on occasion - with the Crew doing their best to minimise the spray as we ventured to and from Ko Phangan.... We were given fresh towels each part of the trip and were having a great time as the water was actually warmer than the wind. We had the option to use any part of the vessel - but up top, experiencing the salt water spray on occasion was all part of the experience that we wanted. The weather held out for us - minimum clouds and enough sun - so good choice for the day. Meals were perfect - I am personally not a seafood fan like my wife, but I have to admit - I wanted to lick my plates clean. We had an open bar - but must admit... the buzz of the experience out-weighed the need to drink heavily. I would do this again in a better time of year to be able to see the marine park... I'll be back.

We did the 1-day private trip to Ang Thong national park and had the most amazing day. From start to finish the staff were impeccable and could not do enough for us. Food was incredible and to a very high standard, with drinks plentiful (very minor suggestion to increase the selection available). Just book this, lie back, and enjoy. You won’t regret it.

As a family, we thoroughly enjoyed the sailing trip to Ang Thong. The crew is very welcoming, helpful and professional. We visited idyllic secluded beaches, we sup-boarded, snorkelled and swam there. The quality of the food is very good, very tasty and of a good restaurant standard. We would love to come back one day for a multi-day trip! Thanks again for the very good care to the team!

🌴 Unforgettable Family Adventure Through Southern Thailand 🌴 We spent three incredible nights exploring Ko Tao, the stunning Ang Thong National Marine Park, and the laid-back vibes of Ko Pha Ngan. Traveling with our family, including two teenage boys, we were looking for a mix of adventure and relaxation—and this trip delivered in every way. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. Communication was clear and helpful, the food was consistently delicious, and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming or attentive. They went above and beyond to accommodate every request—including a spontaneous fishing trip that made for lasting memories. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime journey for us, blending natural beauty, warm hospitality, and perfect planning. We can’t recommend it highly enough.

My wife and I had a blast on a private charter for our honeymoon. The food was fantastic, and crew equally as impressive. Thank you!

We had an absolutely amazing day. Just my husband and I on our own private tour for the day was wonderful. We dont eat seafood so they arranged different meal options in advance which were all great. We didn’t end up having dinner after getting back to the hotel as we were still full. The spot we went to for snorkeling was too cloudy so instead we enjoyed the beach and swimming. Take shoes to the beach as the sand/coral is a bit tough on the feet. Would definitely do again and well worth the money

Amazing hospitality from the crew and beautiful sightseeing. The lunch and canapés were very tasty and plenty of drinks offered. Stopped off at a few beaches and stayed on the boat for hours. Would highly recommend

This is definitely a splurge, but 100% worth every penny; it was a fantastic experience from start to finish!! Nok and her team are wonderful; they went above and beyond to make our day absolutely exceptional!! We sailed to Ang Thong National Marine Park, a lovely three hour journey. During our visit to the park, we visited a beautiful cave, went snorkeling in a shallow inlet, paddle boarded to a deserted beach and did a short hike to visit the Emerald Lagoon. And of course, lots of swimming directly off the boat, what a treat!! As other reviewers have mentioned, the food was first class; amazing how Nok was able to prepare such wonderful meals in the tiny kitchen on the yacht! At the end of a fabulous day, we were treated to the most extraordinary sunset. Thanks again to Nok and her team!!

One of the best experiences I’ve had, food exceeded expectations, beautiful boat and scenery. Drinks were delicious and the service level was exceptional.

I cannot even begin to describe what an amazing day we had but I’ll try my best to. We took a chance and booked this as we wanted to end our time in Samui with a bang and it was worth every penny. From the attentive staff to the stunning boat we had such a beautiful and romantic time. We didn’t want to drink wine or beer neither did we want fish and they were more than accommodating to cook us a beautiful three course vegan meal and provide rum and vodka as requested. Our crew of A, Nog and Rong were incredible and we’ve already decided when we’re back on the island we will book another route and request this crew. If you want luxury and good vibes, this is worth the money. 10/10 would book again. :)

A real yacht experience. Can be a bit choppy for the less seaworthy but worth it. Highly recommended

This is an absolute must do! The crew, A, Nok, and Long were so nice and friendly. They took wonderful care of us and the lunch was so delicious!

This was an utterly superb experience. We were staying at the W, on north side of Samui- and they picked us up from the beach to start. Awesome way to start the trip. Every aspect is considered and thoughtful and tasteful. Nok and the whole crew is lovely. This is a truly unforgettable and unmissable event.

Wow! Hands down the best boat charter experience we’ve ever had. The tour was absolutely spectacular, personalized perfectly to accommodate our pick-up in Koh Phangan. From start to finish, the service was impeccable, and we felt truly taken care of. The weather was incredible, but what truly blew us away was the breathtaking snorkeling spot they took us to—the most beautiful we’ve ever seen. We couldn’t stop saying “wow”! And don’t even get me started on the food. They served the freshest, most delicious seafood—beautifully cooked fresh fish, an amazing lunch spread, delectable desserts, and the most incredible salmon, tuna, and prawn canapés. Pair that with great wines and beers, and it was an experience beyond expectations. I could not recommend this tour enough. If you’re considering it—just book it. You will NOT be disappointed!

The staff was incredibly attentive and the food was Michelin Star quality. Every detail is thoughtfully curated from hotel pickup to sailing into the sunset.

We had such a wonderful day thanks to Nok, A and Rong and the beautiful boat itself. I could rave and rave about the kind, attentive and sweet service offered by the crew that made our day one of the best we’ve ever had but I also wanted to include some practical components to our review for anyone wanting more concrete information about what to expect on the day. We had a stunning and easy hotel pick up in a very nicely appointed vehicle - we’ve had private transfers to and from other high end hotels like Cape Fahn and Four Seasons and this was one of the nicer vehicles we’ve travelled in. There’s a short 5 min wait and a beautiful port - perfect for photos - before you’re transported in a smaller boat to the main sail boat. Our driver was very gentle on the throttle and took this nice and slowly for us (though we’d have been happy with a James Bond style boat ride through the waters!) We were immediately offered a refreshing tea each before getting a short on board briefing. Our drinks were immediately served - we brought a bottle of champagne on board as we were celebrating a special occasion, but were also offered anything from the open bar. We were promptly served some snacks, waters and fruit and the team offered to put up some shade for us however we opted to get some early sun. We connected to the Bluetooth speakers and enjoyed listening to some tunes for the ride in. We enjoyed a lunch of smoked salmon sandwiches, freshly cooked fish and cake before stopping off at two small islands past Ko Tae Nai and Ko Tae Nok (too small for Apple Maps) to enjoy snorkeling, swimming and paddle boarding. We later went to another very small island along our journey home where we again swam and paddle boarded. This island was shallower, so we were escorted there via dinghy by two of the team members. On our journey home we enjoyed more snacks, fruit and drinks before being served sunset canapés and Prosecco. As Aussies who enjoy a drink, I was worried that we would run short with the open bar but this wasn’t the case. In addition to the champagne we brought on board, we enjoyed several beers, white wine, waters and soft drinks before enjoying our bottle of Prosecco at sunset. In hindsight, I would have cancelled our dinner reservation back at our hotel as the food served on board was so generous, ample and filling. We were also treated to a beautiful cake at sunset for the celebration of our wedding anniversary. I cannot rate this experience and the team who provided it highly enough!! We’re looking forward to our next trip (we’ve booked a second excursion as the first was so incredible) and will definitely be booking this each time we return to Koh Samui!

A big thank you to Nok, A and Rong for playing such a key role in what was one of the best days of our lives. A private full day on the boat exceeded even our highest expectations. The team made sure our every want and need was taken care of from the beginning and throughout the entire trip. From snacks, fruits, drinks, meals, excursion activities and excursion spots - everything was catered to us to make sure we got the most out of the day. The team themselves were so thoughtful and sweet - we really hope to see them all again on a future trip! In fact - the experience was so amazing we’re off on the boat again tomorrow and will definitely be rebooking for when we are next in Koh Samui!

Such a wonderful time, Al, Nook & Naro was great hosts & very professional. Food was exceptionall! Worth every penny!

Our private yacht experience with Independence was absolutely exceptional! The staff were incredibly attentive, ensuring we were comfortable throughout the entire journey. Their professionalism and warm hospitality truly made the experience unforgettable. The Italian based menu was abundant and exceeded expectations—delicious and beautifully presented. The njuda spaghetti was definitely a highlight for us! The private yacht experience was the perfect blend of relaxation and indulgence. We were taken to some private beach areas for swimming and had a great time snorkeling at angthong beach park. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend the day. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to treat themselves to an unforgettable experience!

The crew at Independence Yacht Charter( Doug Peterson 52) Mr. A, Nok and crew were Beyond amazing. We celebrated my husband’s 45th birthday with a private tour of Mu Ko Ang Thong National park and it was perfect. From pick up to drop off, we couldn’t have asked for better service. The crew took us to a private beach and were always on top all our needs. Nok prepared the food that was delicious 😋. She is awesome. Definitely spend some time with them while in Koh Samui if you want an unforgettable experience.

Here’s a draft of your review in English: --- Unforgettable Experience: Day Tour to Koh Phangan on a Sailing Yacht We chose this tour to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it turned out to be the perfect choice! The entire day was thoughtfully planned and flawless. Our first stop was Koh Ma, a stunning spot for snorkeling. The crystal-clear waters and vibrant coral reef provided an unforgettable experience with so many colorful fish. Truly a natural wonder! Onboard the sailing yacht, the service was impeccable. The crew was attentive and professional, creating a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere. For lunch, we were served a delicious seafood feast with the freshest fish and shellfish a true treat for the taste buds! Every dish was perfectly prepared and added to the experience. The entire tour was a combination of breathtaking scenery, excellent service, and pure relaxation. We highly recommend this to anyone visiting Koh Samui, especially for special occasions. Thank you for making our anniversary so memorable!
