The teak hull hums as the Blue Dragon slips away from Bophut, the sun deck a bright stage for the Andaman’s shifting light. Salt spray teases the camera lens; below, dark coral ridges cut through blue-green water that dares you to dive. The captain eases into a sheltered bay and the crew unfurls kayaks and a floating lounge — the day bends to the rhythm of sea and wind.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Time your swim windows
Mornings generally have calmer seas and better visibility for snorkeling and dolphin spotting — ask guides to prioritize reef stops early.
Protect the reef
