Wonderful experience! - Fantastic private boat trip from start to finish. We were picked up and dropped off smoothly, taken to several beautiful spots and islands, and generously provided with snacks and drinks throughout the day. Friendly, professional crew and a very relaxed, personalized experience. Highly recommended!

Fantastic day on the water! - Thank you Samui VIP Speed Boats. Our family had a wonderful day swimming and snorkelling, and of course visiting Pig island. The boat, the crew and the locations were excellent. The service was exceptional from booking to drop off! Thanks again.

Great relaxed snorkeling and pig island - Great experience, relaxing and not rushed. Love the fruit on the floating tube. Snorkeling was good although it was overcast. Saw many fish. The crew/staff were wonderful.

An amazing trip on the ocean - Our crew could not have done enough for us on this trip. They were friendly, helpful, hardworking and polite. We had a great time swimming in the turquoise sea, away from the crowds, snorkelling above the coral reef and meeting the pigs before having a secluded picnic on the beach. What more could you ask for. Thank you!

Best experience for couples - Amazing afternoon on a private boat, pick up on time with air conditioning van from our hotel, short explanation and hop on the boat between the near islands, we stopped on a quiet spot to play the water while staff served us fresh fruits platter and drinks, we left to do snorkeling and ended on a secluded beach they made for us a nice picnic with snacks, drinks and more. We got lucky to have an amazing sunset too🤗

Trip to remember - Spent a wonderful day with Samui VIP Speed Boat. Hotel transfers were in a comfortable mini van with air conditioning. The boat staff were very attentive offering drinks, snacks etc. Great swimming, snorkeling and visit to pig island. A trip to remember.

Over hyped - If one has done any other countries like Maldives or Mauritius or the like this is not worth it : it’s not the crew and companies fault they did a good job it’s just that there is nothing to see : the 1st island we stopped at for snorkeling had trash and other garbage , the 2nd location for Coral/reef diving was average at best and the last “pig” island was literally like a pigsty.

Fake across the board- absolutely not worth the money! - Well, what can you say-the first time really fell for complete fake.
The tour was nice, the guides tried hard and really friendly, but that's also the only good thing.
The description of the tour operator for this really expensive tour is complete garbage, None of it is true.
The only point: we were actually alone on the boat-more people would not have paid attention to it either. We booked this tour because we thought we were going to some nice corners that the usual tourist tours don't come to. We had this once in Costa Rica and it was mega. Wrong thought! After arriving at the station we were whisked down the tour program-the absolutely ideal table was .it of the Semi-VIP Tour Pig Island. Stop in front of a temple (we didn't want to) then Pig Island (we certainly didn't want to go there, therefore the private tour), then swim and snorkel and then picnic on a beach. Please? Advertising is:
Brand new luxury speedboats-> it was a visibly old motorboat, quite carried away, with an outboard motor that was visibly struggling to get the boat going.
2 hard, narrow benches, no berths or similar, a rather skewed ladder into the water.
"Fully equipped with sound system(speaker) ice fridge (flap with cooler) sofas (we didn't find)"Visit some really nice secluded places to which no others go-uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh? We followed the usual tour route d 1 to 1. Swimming was nice as we tipped the pig island, which visibly put the guides and the Tourveranstaler in the Bredouille. But we were swimming for a very long time - when we left, the first other tour boats came...
Then snorkel-about 20 other ships as well as u numerous jet skis. The reef is dead, some fish found in the milky water after a long search-not really worth it. Also there 1h stay... last but not least the picnic on the lonely beach-j we were alone, about 50m further on the beach next to the other 50 tourist boats. The Unters hied-our beach was completely covered, not only washed up plastic, also loads of shards and don't ask anything. Then there were the snacks. Then we went back.
Lonely places? Not a single one. Have your say? Nothing like that. After skipping the pig island, the other two stops were simply extended accordingly. All in all: Book the normal half-day tour with another operator if possible, because there are the modern boats quite, but not with them. You save a lot of money (with us that was a whopping 300€ less) and get the absolute same.
We were super disappointed, the boat would not have mattered on an interesting trip as promised. But that was pure rip-off and a cheek. One more point, the two guides were nice and tried very hard, but one spoke very broken almost no English and the other really nothing. English is not a problem for all of us, but here it was only possible with hands and feet.
Don't touch me!!!

No Show and No Help - Very horribly disappointing. We paid in advance, had confirmation from Viator. Had confirmation from the operator. We arrived, and they never showed up. We and Viator called them, and they tried to say that they didn’t have the booking, and it was quite a challenge to communicate. They didn’t even try to assist us to make alternative plans, or even offer an apology. Viator was also very little help, and initially even tried to say that a refund would be “requested,” but not guaranteed since it was within 24 hours. This will be my last time using Viator as well. This is the absolute worst thing that a tour company or vendor can do, which is to not show up when travelers are expecting reliability and safety, and then offer no assistance or recompense.
