The Hype catamaran runs the Coral and Racha Yai route from Chalong Pier, with round-trip minivan hotel transfers included for stops across Phuket — pickup can run 30 to 120 minutes ahead of departure depending on hotel location, so guests are asked to be in the lobby 15 minutes before their slot.
Onboard, the format leans livelier than a standard snorkel cruise: a welcome buffet and drinks at boarding, a live DJ, and shared day beds on the lower deck. The international lunch buffet, fresh fruit and free-flow soft drinks are included; alcohol is available from the onboard bar at extra cost, and outside food or drinks aren’t permitted. Snorkel gear and a towel are provided for stops at both Coral Island and Racha Yai.
Watch out: the listing does not permit guests over 75, children under 1, pregnant travellers, or anyone with a congenital disease, asthma or heart disease — that’s a stated exclusion rather than just a recommendation. Travellers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health are also advised not to book. Child pricing applies from age 4 to 11.
A cheaper sister listing, the Aeolos catamaran tour, runs the same Coral-Racha route at roughly half the price, trading the DJ and day beds for paddleboards, a slide and handline fishing.
