The engine's low hum and salt on your lips set the morning. A private speedboat slices away from Phuket’s cluttered piers toward limestone cliffs that rise like weathered towers; turquoise water pushes at the hull and the wind keeps time. By mid-morning you’ll skirt Maya Bay and ease into the jade calm of Pileh Cove, where the lagoon cradles the boat and cliffs mute the world.
