A private charter, not a shared seat on a group boat, is the core difference here — you book the whole vessel, up to 15 people, for 4 to 8 hours out of Phuket. The day opens with a briefing at the operator’s office before the run out to Coral Island, known locally as Koh He.

Coral Island has two main beaches, Long Beach and Banana Beach, both with gentle snorkelling close to shore — a soft option if you’re travelling with kids or nervous swimmers. The itinerary allows time at both, plus a stretch at a quieter snorkelling spot on the island’s south side, before finishing at the sandy beach on Koh Rang Yai with fresh fruit and cold drinks. Away from the water there’s a viewpoint hike over the surrounding islands and a resident hornbill population to look for.

5 Star Marine runs the boat with a restroom on board, snacks, bottled water and soda included — lunch isn’t part of the package, though restaurants operate at the Banana Beach Club stop if you want to buy food there. The tour is built for families: infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, specialised infant seats are available, and service animals are permitted.

Insider Tip: Because it’s a private charter, the group booking the boat can shape the pacing — ask about spending more time at the quieter south-side snorkelling spot instead of a fixed stop-by-stop schedule.
