We had an incredible day out and were well looked after by our guide, Sandi and the crew, Woodi and Min. A prompt pick up from our hotel and easy check in meant we were on our way within the hour of leaving the hotel. The only element of the private tour we wanted was to see James Bond island so we headed there first thing in the morning which meant it was very quiet. A stunning journey there and an incredible place to visit and something my husband has wanted to do as a Bond fan for years. The next items on the itinerary were coordinated by the team on board. A private cave and tunnel walk into an enclosed limestone chamber open to sky where we saw mudskippers and monkeys. The next was being canoed around Hong Island. The beauty of these places is indescribable. The rest of the day included a lunch on the floating village and some beach time afterwards. The boat was very fast and comfortable with soft drinks and fruit included. A life-long memorable day to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I would recommend you do this tour of the bay and elsewhere as you can do everything at your own speed. Thanks again to the team, we will be back.

The best money I have spent on holidays. I can’t even put into words how brilliant this day was. Honestly from start to finish we had the most special five star experience. The staff are excellent. Teddy our guide was so informative and friendly. We will definitely book another trip next year
The staff was really friendly, the scuba diving instructor was really proffesional. The quality of the boat was really good.
Second Private Tour & Absolutely Flawless Again! 🥂✨ After an incredible first trip, we booked our second private "Captain’s Choice" tour with 5 Star Marine, and once again, it exceeded all our expectations! Having our favorite crew back made it even more special. They took the four of us to the most idyllic, hidden spots away from the crowds. We spent the day snorkeling in crystal-clear water, having fun on the paddleboard, and sipping Prosecco right in the sea! Lunch at a breathtaking location made the day complete. Everything was organized to perfection from start to finish. Huge thanks to the amazing crew for making our time in Phuket truly unforgettable. If you are in Phuket, do not hesitate—book with 5 Star Marine! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had a private boat tour where we got to change the itinerary at will and saw some really cool stuff. It was well priced, and the staff was helpful and attentive. We had never done a private tour before and this really was as good as I could have hoped for!
Amazing trip with the best tour guide Alex and Teddy Bear.
This was the absolute best Boat tour in Thailand! I went with a group of ladies and it was amazing! Our tour guide Alex was so attentive, kind hearted and friendly. From the beginning of the trip to the last minute the boat staff treated us like queens .
We had an incredible private tour with Alex and his team! Alex was communicative, attentive, and made sure all our needs were met. We enjoyed breathtaking views, kayaking, a fun snack in the water, and an amazing lunch—all while feeling completely safe. We are also so grateful for the photos and videos that captured this extraordinary experience. Highly recommended!
We took a private boat tour in Phuket! It was Amazing!🤩 Even though the weather wasn’t perfect, our guide and the boat team made it feel Perfect!👌 They accommodated to all of our preferences and we had an spectacular day with them in Bond Island area, visiting many islands, beaches and lagoons along the way! Recommended 100% if you want a true tailor made experience in Phuket!!❤️😎
Thank you very much for having us afew days ago on Thursday. Sandy was an amazing host, she was so welcoming and helpful, funny and overall made the whole experience so memorable. I'd also like to thank the other members of staff on board, who helped us in every way possible if needed. The whole experience was truly amazing and I've told anyone who comes to Thailand that they need to go on their island tours with you!
Great company!! They were very accommodating for our group of 8 for my husband’s 50th. They kept up with our changing plans through out the day and had great recommendations for whatever the group wanted!! Highly recommend!!!
Our private boat tour to Phi Phi Island was nothing short of magical—truly the highlight of our entire trip. Traveling as a family with four kids and two adults, we were hoping for something special, and this experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment we stepped on board, our incredible tour guide Beer made us feel completely at ease. He was warm, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure every single one of us—especially the kids—was having the best time. His enthusiasm and local insight brought each stop to life, from the stunning turquoise waters to the hidden gems we would have never discovered on our own. A huge shoutout as well to the amazing crew, Mr. B and Mohammed. They were attentive, professional, and always one step ahead, making sure we were comfortable, safe, and well taken care of throughout the journey. Whether it was helping the kids snorkel, preparing refreshments, or simply making us laugh, they added such a personal touch to the day. The boat itself was perfect—clean, spacious, and ideal for a private family adventure. We loved having the flexibility to move at our own pace, spend extra time at our favorite spots, and truly soak in the beauty of Phi Phi Island without feeling rushed. This wasn’t just a tour—it was a memory our family will cherish forever. If you’re considering a private boat experience, do yourself a favor and book with this incredible team. Beer, Mr. B, and Mohammed made our day absolutely unforgettable.
Eight hours on the water, great experience! Captain Shaun &co took us to beautiful not-crowded islands with clear turquiose water, white sand, and some nice coral reefs with good snorkeling. We were given some recommendations regarding the schedule, but we could decide by ourselves where to go and when. That worked fantastically! Thank you guys, see you next time when in Phuket.
From start to finish, our experience with 5* Marina Tours was absolutely fantastic. Yaya integrated seamlessly into our family and made us feel comfortable right away—nothing was ever too much trouble. We were able to do everything we hoped for and more. One of the highlights for me was snorkeling with black tip reef sharks! I was quite nervous, but Yaya stayed by my side the whole time, guiding and reassuring me, which made it such an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for a professional, friendly, and truly exceptional tour company, this is the one. Everything was perfect from beginning to end, and these are memories we’ll carry with us for a lifetime. Until next time, 5* Marina Tours—thank you!
Good facilities, great service and assist.. thanks for our crew name Brown, he did very well job. Recommended marine company in Phuket.
We booked this private boat trip in Phuket many months in advance after reading so many outstanding reviews—and it absolutely lived up to the hype. As our travel date approached, the team stayed in close contact to customize the day exactly to our preferences. They were incredibly responsive and flexible, arranging an earlier departure time and even stocked the boat with beverages we had selected in advance. That level of attention to detail made everything feel effortless from the start. Pickup from our hotel to the marina was seamless, and upon arrival we were warmly greeted by our captain, “Sexy Billy,” who set the tone for an unforgettable day. From the moment we left the dock, the experience was smooth, fun, and completely tailored to us. We had an incredible time exploring Maya Beach and the Phi Phi islands, with plenty of laughs along the way. One of the true highlights was our unique seafood lunch at the amazing Khru Vit floating raft—an authentic and memorable experience that made the day even more special. If you’re looking for a relaxing, customized private boat experience in Phuket with a professional, attentive, and genuinely fun crew, I cannot recommend this team highly enough. Thank you, Sexy Billy and team—we had an absolute blast!
We had the most amazing boat trip in Thailand truly one of the highlights of our entire trip! From start to finish, everything was handled perfectly. All we had to do was show up and enjoy ourselves. The crew absolutely made the experience. They were so fun, upbeat, and welcoming while still being professional and attentive. You could tell they genuinely love what they do, and it made the whole day feel relaxed and special. They made sure we were always comfortable, our drinks were full, and we knew what was happening next. The boat itself was beautiful and well-kept, and every detail was taken care of from the smooth organization to the little thoughtful touches throughout the day. We got to fully soak in the stunning scenery without worrying about a single thing. If you’re thinking about booking this trip, do it. It’s the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and great energy. Couldn’t recommend it more! 🌊☀️
Amazing day on the water today on our private tour. Visited several islands including Hong, James Bond and Koh Panyi. This was a private tour for party of 4 persons. Our tour boat was very comfortable and the crew amazing. Our two guides, Spicy and Keenan deserve our special thanks. Everything tailored to our preferences. Highly recommend.
Brilliant day on the water with Kee and the crew. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. Great communication with the team from booking to departure. Just as we had requested - a fantastic day snorkelling and swimming at stunning islands away from the crowds. Definitely worth paying extra for the private experience. One of our best days in Phuket - the tour exceeded all our expectations. Highly recommend.
We booked a private transfer from coconut island to railay east. Perfect hassle free way to make a journey shorter and less modes of transport.
We had an amazing experience: the super kind team, the super smooth organisation, the lovely places, the incredible restaurant, all the attentions during the day. 100% of joy, 0% of stress, they took care of everything. We definitely recommend!
My family of five booked this trip for December 31, 2025, and had a wonderful time. Alex was our guide, and his long-time experience in the area made the trip top notch. We were able to move in and out of the busier areas without issue, and the itinerary was planned in a way that almost completely avoided the crowds. Even better were the hidden gems we visited, which were spectacular. All around, this was a highlight of our trip, not just to Phuket but to all of Thailand. I really cannot say enough about Alex and the rest of the crew. Their experience made a noticeable difference, and I am not sure the trip would have been nearly as good without them. The day ran over eight hours, but the crew was with us the entire time. The included transfers to and from the marina also made everything much easier and kept the experience stress free. Communication with 5 Star could not have been easier. We knew what to expect, when to be where, and even received a large number of photos that Alex took during the trip. The boats were modern, comfortable, and felt very safe. Water and soft drinks were available throughout the day, which was appreciated given the heat. Snorkeling gear and safety equipment were provided as needed, and the crew made sure everyone was comfortable, especially during our time in the water. One thing to be aware of, be sure to bring enough cash. National park fees must be paid in cash, lunch is preferred to be paid in cash, and tips for the crew at the end of the day are also cash. Again, I cannot say enough about this trip, this crew, and how perfect the day was. Thank you!!!
Wow! Today was the last day of our holiday and by far the best day! Our private tour was truly unique and unforgettable. Thank you so much to Shaun and his team for making it such an amazing and memorable experience. We had the privilege of going on the company’s new rib, which was the perfect size for four people. Choosing 5 star marine was the best decision we have ever made!
The best of the best. Beyond perfect. I cannot recommend 5 star marine and their staff highly enough for anyone looking to your the beautiful islands of Thailand. Nothing to change nothing to improve I can’t wait to use them again
This was our third time using 5 Star Marine, and once again they exceeded our expectations. On this occasion, we were celebrating a birthday, and the team went above and beyond by preparing a cake for our teenager. Their attention to detail ensured we had yet another fantastic experience. Jimmy and his team—whom we specifically requested—treated our son to an unforgettable Jurassic World–themed experience. Throughout the day, the crew were constantly cleaning and washing the boat every time we came back on board; nothing was ever too much trouble for them. I highly recommend Shaun and his entire team.
Absolutely amazing experience! One of the best tours we ever did anywhere around the world. The private boat was amazing, new and spacious, and we had complete freedom over the itinerary. They took us to some of the most beautiful hidden beaches and islands. The guide was also amazing and explained to us everything we were seeing throughout the day. We had 13 people in our group and they all loved it. Totally recommend!
The whole experience with these guys was so smooth and exceptional. Not a hiccup, everything went super smooth and was planned and delivered superbly. I would you back without a second thought. Alex , Bop and Mee you guys made our day.
We wanted a special way to thank our family and friends after our wedding, and booking a private trip with 5 Star Marine was the absolute best decision. All 14 of us had the most incredible time. The service was impeccable—they were warm, attentive. What we appreciated most was the complete flexibility; there was no pressure to rush or move from one spot to the next. They truly allowed us to make all the decisions on the itinerary and pace. It felt incredibly personal and relaxed, allowing us to spend quality time with our loved ones. If you are looking for a tailor-made, and unforgettable experience, especially for a special occasion, look no further than 5 Star Marine. Highly, highly recommended!
From the second I contacted the company about doing this private boat tour I had professional prompt and thorough information. Such a quick and easy process from start to finish. The tour itself was absolutely phenomenal and informative. Beer and the boys made sure we got the best of each spot before the crowds and kept our organized itinerary running smoothly and informative. They went above and beyond to ensure our lunch and swim spots were perfect and we felt like we were travelling and being guided by such experts. I highly recommend this company for its crew and professionalism. The spots available and flexibility to enjoy the day out how you want is just perfect. The boats are clean and very spacious and well maintained. We will be recommending them to friends family and if we return we will be using them again. Thanks for making such wonderful memories for us.
An amazing trip organized by the 5 Stars Marine team! We celebrated a birthday on board, and it was one of the best days of my life! Wonderful impressions, beautiful and well-planned routes, and top-level service everything was just perfect! Special thanks to our guide Alex for his professionalism, attentive attitude toward guests, and genuine passion for his work. Along the way, we were shown incredible places we had never seen before it was truly unforgettable ❤️ Thank you to the whole 5 Stars Marine team for the emotions, care, and an experience we’ll remember forever!
The boat, staff and hospitality were all 5 Star. It's definitely worth spending the money to have a private tour. We did Phi Phi and James Bond along with a few stops for swimming, beach walks and dropped of at a restaurant for a lovely lunch.
We recently booked a private boat tour with 5 Star Marine for a team building day, and the entire experience was exceptional. Right from the planning stage, the team were brilliant quick to respond to questions, flexible with our requests, and incredibly easy to work with. Their clear communication and attention to detail made the whole process smooth and stress-free. On the day itself, everything ran like clockwork. The boat was immaculate and comfortable, and the crew were friendly, professional, and attentive. A huge thank you to the 5 Star Marine team for helping us create such a memorable day. If you're looking for a high-quality private boat experience in Phuket, these are the people to go with—highly recommended!
We were a group of 12. Booked a private trip for snorkelling and to coral island. The tour guide Billy was amazing. Super efficient and helpful and was so attentive to all our needs. The boat and equipment was in top notch condition and the food and refreshments absolutely on point. Not a thing out of place. The overall interaction with 5 Star Marine was excellent starting from the very first WhatsApp msg to Shaun. Every single question, doubt, request and apprehension was attended to immediately. We couldn’t have asked for a better sailing experience in Phuket
Exceptional experience. Boat was clean, safe, and comfortable (toilet onboard). Staff were well trained, professional, and happy. Alex, our guide, was simply wonderful. We left the itinerary to "captains choice" to make the most of the weather sea conditions and tourists. We ended up with a day on the water not to forget. We went to hidden caves and lagoons, saw luminescence, kayaked around the limestone formations, and had a delectable lunch. On request, the team brought fresh coconuts and ginger ale. I was bringing my yoga retreat guests. They really, truly felt like they experienced a magical day full of memories for a lifetime. Highly recommend for groups, families, or people who wish to be away from the crowds.
We booked a private boat tour with 5 Star Marine and we very pleased with everything. The communication during booking, week before, day before was top notch customer service. Our tour guides/driver were great and we just had the best day.
Our group had a wide range of ages, so the flexibility of this tour was great. Our guide Billie was friendly and was quite accommodating. Small negative was that, post tour, we didn't get the photos that they said they'd send us.
This was our second day trip on a private boat with 5 star marine and it was fantastic! The last one was 2 years ago and I chose to rebook with the company because of their excellent communication, safety and fantastic staff who have an exceptional knowledge of the islands. The boats are new and soft drinks and fresh fruit are provided. Yaya, Oht and the team on our trip were amazing and tailored the trip to exactly what we wanted to do- lots of snorkelling in quiet coves off the main tourist trail. There were 13 adults and 4 children on our trip and everybody had the best day. We will definitely rebook with 5 star marine again on our next trip to Phuket and thank you to our amazing team of 4 who looked after us yesterday!
If you are debating between doing a private boat tour or going as part of a larger group tour - do yourself a favor and book the private tour with 5 star marine. We (group of 6) were visiting Phuket for a week and booked a private tour to Krabi islands. It turned out to be the highlight of our trip. Everything was very well coordinated and efficient from hotel pickup to dropoff at the end of the day. Soft drinks / water and varieties of fresh fruit were provided on board which kept us hydrated throughout the tour. Special shout out to our tour guide Faii who was absolutely fantastic and engaged the entire time, telling jokes and snapping great pictures for us every chance she got. We were also able to fine tune our itinerary as the day went on with no issues. It was truly a 5 star experience and we would not hesitate to book with 5 star Marine again the next time we are in Phuket.
This was the third time that we booked a private boat tour with 5 Star Marine - this time family - we were 8 participants. From the very beginning, this tour was a success and everyone was fully satisfied and happy. Skipper Khun Kris and his staff welcomed us and took us to the nicest snorkeling spots of Raya island and Raya Noi and Coral island. The snorkeling equipment was in a great condition. We always felt safe and they had everything under full control. This trip will always remain as a wonderful experience in our heads.
What a fabulous trip tailored to our specific needs as a family. Knowledgable tour guide and crew who made sure we had the best day and were well looked after. Thank you for making it memorable
Thanks for a great day Nick! All of the beautiful places and amazing food, what an incredible experience! Thanks again!!
The expedience with 5 Star Marine was truly the best part of our Thailand trip. Jimmy was the best and gave us a one of a kind experience. Most of the amazing places he took us to we were the only ones there. First trip out was so amazing we booked a second trip to experience more.
We had a fantastic day with "Jimmy" and his crew. We had no expectations as I just decided to book a boat for our last day of a month traveling in SE Asia. Prior to boat, communication was great and land transport was on time and comfortable. We informed our crew of our interests and they made some great suggestions about where to go. It was a spectacular day of caves, lagoons, the floating village, and just bobbing in the water with noodles. We had a short spell of rain, but kept dry and secure on the boat. These folks have a well run operation. If you want a no worry day on the water, I highly suggest going with this company. I also suggest getting out early to beat the crowds.
Communication was great right from the start. Picked up at Villa, the boat was big enough at least 12, but there were 8 of us. Imaculate boat with a toilet, they provided lots of fresh fruit and soft drinks, we bought our own alcohol which wasn't a problem. We had such a great day, the team were amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable, defo recommend!
We had a fantastic day from start to finish. The booking in by Niki was very easy, Alex our guide for the day was fun, informative knowledgable and relaxed. Great boat with a really good captain and crew. The sea was a little bumpy and the captain drove the boat in a way to maximise our comfort and he did. All in all a fantastic day. 100 percent I would recommend them and the Phi Phi day trip.
We have used 5 Star Marine on many occasions and they never ever fail to impress. This time we did Captains Choice and had Alex as our guide and it was fantastic From the booking to the post tour follow up it was just the best I am not going to share the course we took as it was so beautiful I want to keep it my personal secret 🫶 so try it for yourself as you will never be disappointed when using 5 Star Marine Thanks for a great trip guys and will see you again soon
The best experience made our trip and gave us such good insight to phuket! oak was our guide and he was amazing. 10/10 can’t recommend enough and want to already bring more of our friends and family back.
We did 2x private boat trips , both trips we were picked up from hotel at 5am but well worth it to beat the crowds, we were lucky enough to have the same crew on both days they were exceptional, captian, crew member and guide all super lovely. We had fresh fruit, an abundance of cold water and fizzie onboard also coconuts and ginger ale. Both days were tailored to suit our needs from start to finish great to have a tiolet on board. The correspondence prior to trip was also amazing. Everyone we dealt with was 10/10 i definitely recommend this way to see phukrt attractions. Snacks for breakfast at port were also a nice touch. 1- Simillian Islands Amazing clear water, we were first speed boat at Snorkeling spot got to swim with large turel for 10-15 minutes on our own. Saw flying fish on the way out there. Snorkeling gear was provided and in good condition. Only downside on simillans was i picked lots of plastic from water, corals had been hammered by fish. I guess we are lucky to have snorkeled in fiji & Raro so had very high expectations. But still nice schools of fish and some different to our side of the world. Sand was soooooo soft. 2- James Bond Island we were supposed to do PhiPhi as well that day but were advised water wasn't that clear for Snorkeling and trip was rough (had 2x people who get sea sick) so we decided to do James Bond, caves, cannoying, floating village and fishing instead . Another great experience. They happily refunded the difference of cost. Well worth the extra money we felt boat was in good condition and had shade.
A great day out! The captain put safety first and our guide gave us his itinerary based off experience and we were glad we took it. Even with strong winds, every stop we made had flat water conditions. The crew even brought a cake for my birthday.
Amazing experience with 5 Star Marine from start to finish. Communication was excellent, the guide was fantastic and knowledgeble. We enjoyed all the activities and locations recommended by the company. Will recommend to friends and family.
