  • ‌English Translation:‌ ‌10:30-11:40‌ Arrive at Coral Island

  • Board the ship and start the return journey at 16:20

Aeolos sails the Coral Island and Racha Yai route from Thap Lamu Pier, with island-wide Phuket hotel pickup included for guests who book the transfer option — travellers arranging their own transport check in at the pier by 9:15am instead. The listing caps the sailing at 15 guests.

Snorkelling stops come at both islands: the morning session works Coral Island’s reef, then the boat continues to Racha Yai’s White Sand Beach in the early afternoon for free beach time. Onboard extras — paddleboards, a transparent boat, a slide and handline fishing — are included at no extra charge, along with snorkel gear, life jackets, masks and towels. Buffet lunch is a Thai spread: curry, stir-fried tofu, morning glory, fresh fruit, soft drinks and mineral water through the sail.

Safety Tip: the listing excludes pregnant travellers and anyone with heart conditions or back problems, and asks for at least a moderate level of physical fitness. Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap rather than have a separate seat.

The return sail passes Promthep Cape in the late afternoon, with handline fishing offered on the way back as the light drops over the Andaman Sea. The guide runs the trip in English; the listing doesn’t specify the other working language beyond that.

A pricier sister listing, the Coral and Racha Islands luxury catamaran, covers the same two islands with a live DJ, day beds and an international buffet instead of Aeolos’s paddleboards, transparent boats and handline fishing.
