Hype Boat Club: Phuket ‘s Most Unique Catamaran Experience
Activity provider: HYPE Boat Club
Highlights
- You will get to relax on board or stop for a walk on the beach at Coral Island and swim (about 1 hour stop). The second stop is at Racha Yai Islan...
HYPE Boat Club runs a large catamaran styled as a beach club at sea rather than a standard snorkel-and-swim charter — daybeds, a crew in white polo shirts, and a DJ working through the day instead of a guide with a microphone. The 7-hour outing, priced from $136, stops at Coral Island for about an hour of beach time and a swim, then moves on to Koh Racha Yai to snorkel over reef in clear water.
Lunch, bottled water, towels, fresh fruit, soft drinks and a welcome cocktail are included, along with a covered sun lounger or shared daybed. Alcohol beyond the welcome cocktail is pay-as-you-go from an onboard bar, and outside food or drink isn’t permitted — bring a bottle of wine and expect a corkage fee of 1,500+ THB (3,000+ THB for spirits or champagne).
Groups are capped at 15, which keeps the daybed-and-lounger layout from feeling like a packed tour boat. Hotel transfer isn’t automatically bundled — it’s excluded unless selected as an add-on at booking. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure, and confirmation isn’t instant, so bookings need a little lead time.

Insider Tip: Check-in is at the Hype Meeting Point by 10:30am — look for staff in white polo shirts rather than a branded sign.
Watch out: Bringing outside food or drink on board is strictly prohibited, and the corkage fee for anything brought in is steep. This sits closer to a day-club charter than a budget island-hopping boat around Phuket, and the price reflects that.
