HYPE Luxury Catamaran Day Cruise: Phuket Islands, Snorkel & Sunset Party

THE ADVENTURE COLLECTIVE® · Independent discovery and booking for outdoor travel

Read the full experience

Morning light pins the Andaman Sea silver as the HYPE catamaran slips from Chalong Pier. You’ll step aboard to a welcome drink and find a bean bag or VIP daybed where the hours stretch wide: saline wind, DJ beats, and low-slung loungers that beg you to stay. The boat threads between limestone islets and reef-fringed shallows, offering equal parts exploration and easy living.

Adventure tips

Bring reef-safe sunscreenThe tour visits marine park reefs; choose reef-safe lotion and reapply frequently to protect corals and your skin.

Take motion-sickness precautionsIf you’re prone to seasickness, take medication or use acupressure bands before boarding—open water can get choppy mid-day.

Protect your gearUse a waterproof phone case or dry bag for cameras and electronics—spray and splashes are common on deck and during swims.

Time your shotsFor clear underwater photos, snorkel mid-morning; for silhouettes and sunset colors, be on deck in the late afternoon.

Recommended gear

Reef-safe sunscreen: Protects skin and the marine environment during prolonged sun exposure at sea.
Waterproof phone case or dry bag: Keeps electronics dry during swimming, snorkeling, and on-deck activity.
Light wind/rain layer: A thin jacket helps when the sea breeze picks up, especially at sunset.
Non-slip sandals or water shoes: Secure footing on wet decks and when getting on and off the swim platform.
