The catamaran slips away from Royal Phuket Marina and the morning light chisels the limestone silhouettes of Phi Phi Leh. Salt sprays the rail as the two‑storey speed catamaran cuts a steady 45‑minute corridor across Andaman waters; on deck, passengers trade city noise for gull calls and the hum of an engine that’s taking them to classic bays and reef-studded snorkeling sites.

This is a day designed around water — an 8‑hour loop that includes an early visit to Maya Bay (subject to seasonal park closures), a swim at Pileh Cove, a stop at Loh Samah, a beach-side lunch at Tonsai Bay on Phi Phi Don, then Khai Island and a late snorkel at Maiton near sunset. The islands are young limestone outcrops of the southern Andaman, sculpted by wave and monsoon, their vertical cliffs sheltering turquoise coves and vibrant coral flats. Viking Cave offers a glimpse into local industry: edible bird’s nest harvesting and the guarded history that surrounds it, while Monkey Beach reminds travelers that these shores are shared with long‑tailed macaques.
Expect guided snorkel sessions (equipment and life jackets provided), paddleboarding and onboard slides on this particular boat, plus hotel pickup in Phuket. Practicalities matter: reef‑safe sunscreen, a waterproof bag for passports, and motion‑sickness precautions make the day smoother. Be aware Maya Bay may be substituted with Bamboo Island during park closures (typically August–September). For travelers wanting a full, relaxed day of swimming, snorkeling and coastal photography, this catamaran option balances creature comforts with access to some of the Andaman’s most photographed coves.

Common sightings include reef fish like clownfish, reef sharks and occasionally dolphins; onshore you may see long‑tailed macaques near Monkey Beach.
Maya Bay rose to international fame after becoming a major film location; heavy tourism led to a temporary closure (2018–2021) to let the ecosystem recover.
The Phi Phi area is managed as a national park; visitors are asked to use reef‑safe products, avoid touching coral, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
