5 Star Marine The Only Option for Personal Tours! - 5 Star Marine are the company to choose when trying to find the best company in Thailand for Island Tours! With a personal tour through 5 Star Marine you have flexibility to adjust the tour to what you want based on weather or what you want to see! Our guides were extremely knowledgeable and the safety standards were above expectations with vessels having no more than 20 on board! Life jackets were supplied incase they were needed (but not due to great seamanship), we visited plenty of amazing spots and even had our Guide Dewy play a game of soccer with our son at the floating soccer field which he will cherish forever! The lunch stop was amazing and seeing all the monkeys on the way back to berth was spectacular. Highly recommend 5 Star Marine to anyone who wants a personalised tour without the crowds!

Lovely private day to see the islands-pay for the upgrade from a group tour you won't regret it - I was a bit worried with so many 5 star reviews, but I see why they have them!
We went as a couple, and had very strong rainy weather all day (being monsoon season) yet that made no difference and only added to the fun and stories!
The boat is immaculate and clean, you are treated by royalty by the crew and most importantly, safety is constantly being upheld.
Having photos taken on our behalf took a lot of stress off and they turned out so great!
The team really listened to see what was important for us and what wasn't and tailored the day to suit our wants and desires.
The cost is more than some others, but the privacy, safety, the smiles, and the memories were worth the price and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I would definitely recommend them 100%! They deserve a 10 star review hands-down! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would! Our experience with 5 Star Marine in Phuket was exceptional from start to finish.
The communication alone deserves a full 5 stars — even before we confirmed the booking, we were receiving prompt and helpful replies via WhatsApp. Once we booked, a dedicated WhatsApp group was created just for our trip, where every single question or request was answered instantly and professionally. The support was truly beyond superb.
We booked a private speed boat tour to Phi Phi Islands, James Bond Island, and the bioluminescent plankton experience — and it was hands down the best decision we made. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable.
The timing of every part of the trip was spot on — from the hotel pickup and drop-off, to each stop and activity along the way. Everything ran like clockwork, making the day smooth, efficient, and stress-free.
Special thanks to:
• Captain Nut (hope I’m spelling that correctly!), who handled the windy weather with skill and confidence. His navigation was smooth and professional.
• Mr. Abdullah, our incredible tour guide — courteous, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to be around. He tailored the experience to our preferences and made sure every moment was enjoyable. If you’re booking with 5 Star Marine, definitely ask for him!
• Mr. C (not sure if that was a nickname or his actual name), the boat engineer, who was kind, attentive, and especially helpful with the kids during the snorkeling portion of the trip.
They also recommended a restaurant on one of the islands — I wish I could remember the name, because the food was absolutely delicious!
The trip lasted around 9 hours, and we loved every minute. Everything was well-organized, safe, and full of memorable moments.
5 Star Marine? More like 10 Star Marine! Highly recommended — I’d book with them again without hesitation.

Incredible day and incredible host! - We are a family of 11 coming together from different parts of the world and we wanted a day we could remember forever and today was exactly that!
Our host Ya Ya was amazing and super looked after us. From the start to the incredible Sandy beaches of Phi Phi, to seeing monkeys, James Bond island, paddle boarding and then going through caves.
Today was super fun and memories that will last a lifetime!
Thank you 5 star marine! This certainly was 5 star! Xx

Amazing Day - This was absolutely the way to see the islands and caves around Phuket. We got to eat local cuisine and avoid the crowds. Beer, SonRock, and Oan (sorry if I misspelled names) were accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable! We even got a local perspective on the tours and lagoons. Would highly recommend!!

Great Phuket Boat Experience - It was a great trip.
The boat we had was a new and clean boat. Well organized, The guide, K. Joon, spoke English well - which was important since we were an American family.
The boys celebrated their 19th birthday and it did not disappoint.
K. Joon knew the locations and sites well.. and the corals and fishes we saw were better than even the regular places we go to in Jamaica and the Bahamas.
Everyone was happy with the service and even the lunch provided... (at a Michelin rated seafood fishing village.... although everything seems to be Michelin this or that lately ... :)
For visitors to Phuket - if you want value for money / good professional services .... this is the place...
Would defintely go with the 5 star team again.... maybe next time.. it will be 6stars.. :)

Best private boat tour in aphuket - If you are a small group or couple seeking a customized itinerary to explore some of Phuket’s tourist sites at your own pace, this company is the ideal choice. They operate new 39-foot speedboats equipped with a clean and professional crew.
Our eight-hour tour provided a stress-free and less crowded experience, allowing us to manage our own pace. The booking and arrangement process were seamless. We were conveniently picked up from our hotel in a luxurious van, which provided coffee, snacks, and fruit for breakfast. The boat was stocked with soft drinks, water, and fresh fruit.
Additionally, the snorkel equipment was of high quality, making it an easy and enjoyable way to explore Phuket’s island. This private boat tour allowed us to experience Phuket at our own pace, without any unnecessary stress.
We highly recommend this company to those seeking luxury and private trips in Phuket.
