Luxury Private Speed Boat Charter - Phi Phi Sunrise

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.

Our guide Momo and her crew were exceptional! They treated us like royalty and really made the day. We were able to visit so many beautiful spots before the crowds arrived. It was such a special and memorable experience for our family, Our best tour in Thailand!

✨ Simba Sea Trips – an experience we will never forget! 🌴🐬 On August 17th, we spent an absolutely incredible day with Simba Sea Trips, exploring the Phi Phi Island, Maya Bay, Monkey Beach, Pileh Lagoon and Bamboo Island – and honestly, the whole experience exceeded all our expectations.🩷 From the very beginning to the very end, everything was perfectly organized. The boat ride itself was fantastic, the food was delicious, and the entire crew was incredibly kind, funny, helpful and genuinely caring. We felt looked after the whole day. 🥰 A huge THANK YOU especially for all the help with snorkeling. The crew were amazing with our children – they patiently helped them, showed them what to look for underwater and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. 🐠💙 Thanks to them, the whole family could truly enjoy the snorkeling experience. And that is what made this trip so special. It wasn’t simply about taking us from one beautiful place to another. They genuinely cared about making sure we had an amazing day. They showed us things, helped us, made us laugh and created such a warm and fun atmosphere on the boat. Of course, the places themselves were absolutely breathtaking – Phi Phi, Maya Bay, Bamboo Island… 🌊☀️🌴 But when you combine those incredible locations with an amazing crew, a beautiful boat, great food, drinks and exceptional service throughout the entire day, it becomes an experience you simply don’t forget. We can wholeheartedly recommend Simba Sea Trips! ❤️ If you’re looking for a trip where you’re not just another tourist on a boat, but where you actually feel welcomed, cared for and part of the experience – go with Simba. 🐬💙 Thank you for an unforgettable day! You gave us so much more than beautiful photos. You gave us memories that our whole family will cherish. ✨🌊

Best tour I have ever been on. Picked up on time in EV Taxi. Receptions breakfast snacks ready. Boat left right on time. Phi Phi Islands were spectacular. Swimming was spectacular. Snorkeling was good. Saw baby sharks. Good close up to Monkeys off bow of boat. Great snacks & fruit served on the way. Excellent buffet lunch ready on our return. Taxi was there & waiting to take up back to are hotel. Tour guide went out of her way to give us a good time & spend one on one time with guests. Over all 10 out of 10.

We did a private speedboat tour around Phang Na Bay and it did not disappoint! The crew were super friendly and informative, we went at our own speed and they provided plenty of water and snacks. They took us to the best areas and we started earlier to avoid the crowds. Would definitely recommend and do it again!

Sara and her team were so phenomenal. Our driver was right on time at 5am with a big smile. The whole day was filled with snacks - they fed us so well! My husband and I could not swim but Sara and her team found ways to enhance our experience nonetheless. The views were spectacular and the beaches were stunning. The Thai sun favoured us for sure and we had nothing but the best experience. Thank you Sara and your whole team for the best ending to our trip :) khàawp khun khâ!!! With love from Canada xoxo

Excellent experience. We were not sure about whether to book the usual tour or a private tour. After reading other reviews we went ahead and booked the private tour and am glad we did. We were able to go at our own schedule spending more time at certain points and leave earlier at other times. We covered a lot (sunrise, Maya beach, Macaque Monkeys, 2 snorkelling spots, beach with swimming) and with boisterous children it made it a lot easier having a private boat. The staff were great including our guide James. The food on the trip was fantastic and plentiful. At the end they brought more very quickly when the popular nuggets ran out for lunch. Definately worth it if you have a young family.

Everything was done perfectly. From the on time pick up at our hotel to the wonderful lunch they served us in their restaurant at the end of the tour. We enjoyed the staff on board who were incredibly attentive. There were plenty of stops to break up the day. The crew was incredibly patient with those who might need extra time to get gear on or step on and off the boat. Surprise on board was fruit served twice throughout the trip. Spring rolls when we needed a snack and the sticky rice and banana bread on Maya Bay was lovely. Overall a great excursion! Lunch at the restaurant was delicious and plentiful!

Sara and Andy and Feam were great! The tour was iu formative and unforgettably beautiful. They served a light breakfast, fruit and spring rolls as snacks a few times and then lunch at the end and the soho pool club. All the food was great.

We had a great time. The whole experience was first class. D our guide was awesome. They had plenty of food on the trip, all the stops were really great. Saw a lot of fish, some sharks and monkeys. The lunch at the end was very good. i would recommend this company and tour to anyone.

It was an early start to our day but well worth it. Appreciated the good continental breakfast before getting on the boat. Surprised how busy Maya beach was at 7:00 am. The snorkelling was good, one of the guides identified the various fish. Beverages and fruit offered throughout the day. The last stop at Rang Yai island was very nice. A pristine quiet beach, a perfect end to the day. The guides were very friendly and helpful.

Perfectly organised amazing trip with an incredible crew. You just knew you were in the best hands. Felt safe and secure throughout, and well worth the 4am alarm call!

This tour was worth every penny and more. Sara and the crew were absolutely amazing. You have to do the sunrise tour to avoid the crowds. This was so great we have another private tour booked to another island.

Sara and the crew were amazing. The boat trip to get there is no joke. I enjoyed the heck out of it but recommend the Dramamine if you’re not a fan of bumpy boat rides. Would definitely recommend.

The staff was not only accommodating, but funny and very knowledgeable. It was very clean and professional. Sara went above and beyond when I lost a contact swimming and even messaged me days later following up and expressing concern. 10/10 would recommend this to anyone considering. I have traveled quite extensively and would say this was one of my top 3 experiences. Thank you to all of the staff for sharing with us such an amazing, beautiful and stunning experience.

Excellent private sunrise tour to Phi Phi Islands. Extremely attentive service, great food tailored to our tastes. Snorkeling with the guides was very good, nice beach stops and amazing sights along the way. Early morning pickup was definitely worth it. Coffee and light food available upon arrival at the marina which was much appreciated given the early morning. Nice breakfast set up for us on Maya beach. Lunch after the tour at the club was also delicious and very plentiful. Best part was the super friendly, helpful and attentive service the entire day from our guide Momo and the two crew members. The boat was very nice and we loved the lounge beds on the back that we enjoyed while in route from stop to stop. Highly recommend!

We had a great time on this tour with our guides Sarah and her two mates taking really good care of everyone, providing caring, attentive, friendly services the entire day! We loved seeing the famous Pipi islands and snorkeling was great, with excellent equipment provided. We went to a couple small coves for swimming, and we saw a family of monkeys up close and got to watch them play! Refreshing snacks, and beverages were always being offered. The boat ride was so much fun and our captain did a fantastic job driving the boat. The lunch was so delicious at the end! Friendly group of passengers to explore with and I would highly recommend this small group tour and would do it again! Thank you Sarah ka🌷

Our guide Harry, captain Yai, and deckhand Ann were fabulous! Very accommodating, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Harry spoke flawless English. We did 2 Luxury Private Speed Boat Charters--Phi Phi Sunrise and Phang Nga Bay. Both highly recommended. There were 4 in our group--the boat was a perfect size with both front seats in the sun, protected seating in the back and a small bathroom. After the first trip we told Harry we were coming back for the second and he was able to adjust his schedule for his team to be with us the second day--we were very impressed and happy! The private boat tours are highly recommended as you get to each of the destinations ahead of the crowds. And the lunch spots both days were small family run with fabulous food! Yai was a great captain. The second day was choppy and his experience made for a smoother ride. My wife is a nervous snorkeler and Ann held her hand and showed her around--made her much more comfortable. They served a fabulous display of local fruits in the morning and provided snacks and drinks throughout the day. A truly great time--both days!

Very professional and organised. One of our highlights in Phuket. Our guide Sara was very helpful and attentive. Definitely recommended

My husband and I had a great experience with Simba Sea Tours on this private tour. We visited Maya Bay and made several other stops for swimming and snorkeling before going back to their lovely beach club for lunch. The best part of the day was hanging out with the crew: Sara, Yaya and Janie. Sara had a great attitude and was a fun guide to spend the day with, Yaya was a skilled and professional captain who also prepared special fruit plates for us and Janie was awesome to snorkel with, helping us spot sharks and tons of sea life that we may have overlooked ourselves. Yes the private tour is more expensive but if you value being able to dictate where your time is spent (for example, we had the flexibility to spend longer periods of time snorkeling and swimming at the stops as opposed to folks on Simba’s group tour, etc) this is a great option. Thank you for a great day!!

Lots of fun and fantastic staff! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Phuket who loves the water. The scenery alone makes it worthwhile

This was the highlight of our trip ! This private charter tour was awesome . The 3 person crew ( Sara , Andy and Jai ) were the best . They provided great food , great guidance and excellent snorkeling . Thank you for a great day !

Really amazing experience, the staff were really friendly and professional. The morning was really well planned my son also enjoyed it.

We had an amazing time! The captain was great and carved our fruit into beautiful pieces. Patrick was a wonderful tour guide and all the crew on board took care of us with all stops and excursions. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.

We went on a sunrise trip to the Phi Phi Islands, and it was hands down the highlight of our vacation! From start to finish, everything was perfect — Patrick and the crew was friendly and professional, the boat was comfortable and well-kept, and the entire experience was magical. Watching the sunrise over the water was breathtaking, and every stop along the way was beautiful and well-timed. The team made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. Highly recommend this tour — 10 out of 10! If you’re visiting Phuket, don’t miss this experience.

Fantastic and beautiful adventure. Well worth it ! Our crew of Patrick, the captain and Mr. Everything were amazing. We could not have had more fun.

This tour was amazing and I would highly recommend. Going out before sunrise we beat all the crowds since most tours didn’t leave until later in the morning. Also, having a high speed boat made the tour much more enjoyable. Our guide Sara was very knowledgeable. At each stop they had fresh food or fruit or refreshments. At Maya Bay, the guides gave us mats to set up on the beach as well. They were able to find snorkeling spots that weren’t crowded as well as seeing lots of sea life. This tour was well worth the money. The service was incredible and the views were amazing. We will definitely use this company again if we return to Thailand.

What a great experience from start to finish. The scenery itself is of course breathtaking- but to be guided throughout this island paradise by Simba was simply superb. Seemless transfers, excellent staff and energetic host, with an itinerary that was clearly crafted with care and attention.

Fantastic experience from start to finish - they pick you up directly from your hotel, everyone is super friendly and fun, the boat ride was amazing and can highly recommend it.

Absolutely unbelievable experience. Momo and her team made this so special for my family capturing a once in a lifetime experience. Literally heaven on earth.

This was our best ever trip by far . A very professional set up ensures you are free to enjoy the fantastic sights of the islands in a small group ahead of most other tourist boats which requires that precious 6.00 am start . During the trip the crew could not have been more helpful with Momo as guide providing a wealth of information , camera shots at each location in conjunction with the captain Dan and 2 other crew to look after you . After a breakfast on shore there followed an almost endless stream of fruit , snacks starting on Phi Phi island with local banana bread and sticky rice in banana leaves . With superb snorkelling spots , so many different fish , a classic beach stop and a high quality buffet lunch of local food , this was a memorable trip , not forgetting the high speed run to the islands under the seamanship of Captain Dan , exciting but always safe and only a viewing stop from the boat at Monkey Island which confirmed that this is a highly professional set up , that delivers an excellent experience , safely and was worth every penny

On the verge of cancelling our trip the night before due to an unexpected and rapid eruption of intestinal upset, while also fidgety at an unflattering forecast, six - from an original group of 10 - rallied and determined to not let dodgy dumplings ruin their day. Seamless timing and service from the outset, with ponctual pick up, friendly greeting and registration followed by freshly brewed coffee and a welcome, tasty and varied breakfast buffet. Some stomachs still unsettled, three of the brave six hunkered down as our skipper powered the Honda twin 250s into life and deftly directed his craft and delicate passengers from marina to Maya Bay. Sharks spotted, ecology esteemed, coffee and cake consumed, we later enjoyed a dip and unexpected solitude at Pileh's picturesque Lagoon. Mirthful monkeys, Viking runes, and saliva fashioned birds' nests harvested for niche culinary tastes, swell imagination as we next don mask and snorkel, slipping beneath the swell to shadow the sea's life. Nature's wonders admired, it was time to experience man's attempt to dominate terrains with motorised technology - Rang Yai beach road cross-Island ATV circuit! A day of beauty and bonding bursts into new life as we jockey for position along the jungle track on these 4-wheeled, adrenaline inducing, tiny tractors! Cold beers at an island beach bar, a brief skim home and a prodigious Thai and Western buffet at the superlative Soho Pool Club all decisively made for a day forever to remember. Careful and considerate was our captain throughout the day, professional and present was our crewman Andy, while Sarah went above and beyond to guide and cater our every need. Our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for a well-prepared and well-managed luxurious day out!

From the moment we stepped onto the boat with Simba Crew #7, we knew we were in for something special — but this sunrise tour to the Phi Phi Islands far exceeded every expectation. The experience was flawless from start to finish, and that’s all thanks to the dream team: Harry (our guide and vibe-master), Captain Dang (steady hands and sea-smooth sailing), and Mr. Whatt (our ever-smiling, superhuman deck hand). Harry has a gift — he laid out the day’s agenda in such a conversational and natural way that it felt more like chatting with a friend than listening to a scripted tour. He was attentive to the group’s needs, offering more or less detail based on interest. That kind of flexibility and thoughtfulness doesn’t go unnoticed, and it really set the tone for a relaxed and personalized adventure. The service was impeccable — the snacks were thoughtful, fresh, and beautifully presented. At every stop, the crew was already ten steps ahead of anything we might need. I even asked for a band-aid and within seconds, Mr. Whatt had one in hand with a smile. The boat was sparkling clean, stocked with everything, and truly felt like a floating oasis. Captain Dang made the ride feel smooth and safe the entire way, skillfully navigating us into beautiful, less crowded coves that felt exclusive. Whether it was snorkeling, sightseeing, or just soaking in the early-morning calm of Maya Bay, we felt like VIPs at every moment. If you’re looking for the perfect Phi Phi Islands tour — with an early start to beat the crowds, a five-star crew that treats you like family, and an unforgettable day on the water — book with Simba Crew #7 and hope you’re lucky enough to get Harry, Dang, and Mr. Whatt. We left the tour feeling inspired, grateful, and already planning when we could do it again. 11/10 experience. Do not miss this!

We did a private boat tour with Simba and I highly recommend this company. Everything was so well organized. We had some concerns regarding the weather as it is start of rain season. We contacted the company a few days prior and they assured us that they were monitoring everything. We were picked up from our hotel exactly on time and had a nice breakfast before heading on to the boat. The crew on the boat were amazing. They take great care of us and even though the water was a bit rough, we had a great time. Lots of nice snacks on the boat as well! We had so much fun swimming and snorkelling and there were mo large crowds either. Once we got back to Puckett, they provided an amazing lunch and also there were showers there too so we could change before getting dropped off to our hotel! I highly recommend this company. The crew and staff were the highlight for us!

We did the sunrise tour on our honeymoon and we loved it! Everyone was so kind and we felt like they looked out for us and made sure to point things out or give us tips. There were so many yummy snacks and snorkeling was so fun! It was a beautiful day.

Our group was determined to fully embrace every moment and create lasting memories during our adventure, so we decided to add the professional photography package with Kolin, the photographer from Simba Sea Trips. Choosing Kolin turned out to be the best decision! He struck the perfect balance between capturing candid moments and posed shots, working seamlessly with his team throughout the trip. Thanks to his talent, we now have stunning images that we will cherish forever, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the breathtaking surroundings without the distraction of our phones. The crew was outstanding, with Guide Deela, Boatman Andy, and Captain Yai taking exceptional care of us throughout the day. Their dedication and hospitality genuinely enhanced our experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Kolin for his unique approach to capturing every memorable moment of the trip. It was truly the icing on the cake for our journey!, we hope to use him again on our next trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed our private tour. Ms. Sara and her team were outstanding! everything was well-prepared allowing us to simply relax and have fun. The food was delicious as well! Additionally, her English skills were impressive.

Simba Sea Trips provides absolutely incredible tours. We joined the Speed Boat Charter Phi Phi tour and were absolutely blown away by the adventurous fun, beautiful views, and exceptional staff. No matter your preference or fitness level this tour is jam packed with options to swim, snorkel, sunbath, explore, or relax all at your own preference and pace. My wife and I are a bit larger and appreciated that the staff never made us feel like we could not participate. In fact, they went above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible experience, not just for us, but for each guest. The food was absolutely delicious and the boat ride in between excursions was stunning. I have to give a special thanks to Mr. Kim and Mr. Ya for being absolutely incredible guides and personally ensuring we had an unforgettable experience and to Dee for truly going above and beyond. Dee was knowledgeable, fun, and encouraging. She ensure we were taken care of each step of the way and gave us encouragement to take the plunge, literally encouraging us to jump off the boat and into the water, which was one of my favorite moments. Thank you all for providing the adventure of a lifetime!

Brilliant day! Amazing locations visited and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Sara was exceptional. Highly recommended. Thank you.

10 stars! Absolutely amazing experience. “The Beach” has been on my bucket list since I saw the movie 25 years ago. I booked the private charter even though it was only my husband and I. The best decision I could have made! The boat was extremely comfortable, crew awesome, and all the food unexpected and delicious. The captain is a genius with carving fruit art. Getting to Maya Beach before the crowds was priceless- and then they added a breakfast picnic that made it even better. I can not compliment this operation enough- if you have the means to do the private tour- DO IT!

Our day trip to Phi Phi Islands with Simba was an amazing experience! Our guide Sarah made everything so easy. She was kind, helpful and her English was excellent! I’m so thankful we opted to do the early morning (and it was early!!) because we got to enjoy breakfast on maya beach before the crowds arrived. The food on this trip was so delicious (both breakfast and lunch), we all went back for seconds! The snorkel locations were gorgeous snd we saw lots of fish. Don’t hesitate to book this trip! I highly recommend Simba, their excellent customer service and Sarah as a guide!!

Noi and his crew were fantastic. They thought every detail and treated everyone like family. Noi’s sense of humor kept everyone entertained. It is obvious they love their job. They provided snacks at every stop, very fresh fruit and tasty baked goods. The snoring was amazing. They do a great job of avoiding g crowds and are very knowledgeable of the sea life. Lunch at the Soho Beach Club to finish off the tour. Food was excellent and wait staff was very friendly. I HIGHLY recommend this company. If you love being around positive and happy tour guides, and love scenic beauty, this tour is for you.

The trip was amazing. Sarah, the tour guide is awesome. She took really good care of everyone on the boat and super friendly. Her service was fantastic.

I had an amazing time on this tour! Our tour guide, Sarah, made us feel very safe on the bumpy boat ride. The food was great too and we had a lot of fun! Thank you Sarah!

I cannot recommend this company enough, we did the sunrise Phi Phi islands tour and from start to finish it was an excellent trip, we always arrived at the stops ahead of the crowds, refreshments and food was always offered, special thanks to Patrick, Mr Everything and the captain who were all amazingly friendly and helpful and had a thorough knowledge of the trip. Thank you for an unforgettable experience

WOW waking up early was so worth it! Mo Mo and the rest of the crew were incredible. Mo took fantastic fotos and even gave us posing direction, her personality and smile was contagious. I had been going through some personal stuff and was having a difficult time focusing and enjoying the trip, but joining this tour with her changed it. She pulled me from where I was and she had a rippling effect to the rest of my 3 week vacation. I was worried that perhaps I would be hungry, but that was NEVER a concern. They kept offering water/drinks and delicious snacks (including fresh fruit— yummy). My only desire was to be able to stay longer at the beach, I know we start early but I just couldn’t get enough. Would have loved to stay one or two hours just enjoying the view. Worth mentioning that I get easily sea sick, and took some meds right before we left and had no issues. The quality of the tour was exceptional, the staff wonderful, the views breathtaking. Do not hesitate about the early wake up, just do it, you won’t regret it— sleep in when you get back from your holiday or the next day :)

Patrick and his team were amazing!!! My wife and I booked a private speed boat tour of Phi Phi islands and it was definitely a highlight of our trip. They made sure to take us to all of the areas before any crowds showed up. We were literally the first boat to leave the Marina. We ended up having Monkey beach and Nui beach completely to ourselves for snorkeling! So many locations on this tour, every one of them stunning. We can’t thank Patrick and his team enough for making the trip so special!

First class experience from start to finish, our tour guide was Dee and she could not do enough for us, absolutely amazing day, would definitely recommend using this company.

This private tour exceeded expectations in every regard. The crew was amazing - starting with our guide, Sara…super friendly with a great sense of humor. The boat was very well maintained and comfortably fit the six of us with plenty of room to spare. We made several stops, but the highlights were breakfast on the beach at Phi Phi Le, a couple of the snorkeling spots, and our final stop at the beach at Ko Rang Yai. And every time we got back on the boat, they were ready for us with cold water/ soda and even fresh cut fruit a couple of times. And when we got back, we were very pleasantly surprised to have a full sit down lunch with way more Thai food than we could finish…all of it delicious. Absolutely worth every bit of what we paid.
