⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The most incredible family day in Phuket
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The most incredible family day in Phuket
We have travelled to some beautiful places as a family, but our private boat day with 5 Star Marine was genuinely one of those experiences we will never forget.
There were six of us — my husband and I, our two children and my parents — and from beginning to end, everything was absolutely perfect.
Our Thai host Sandy, who is a Phuket local, was incredible. She was so warm, friendly and knowledgeable, and somehow managed to make the day feel completely effortless while making sure everyone in our family was having the best possible time.
Our skipper was also exceptional. My husband is very experienced with boats and is usually the first person to notice if someone really knows what they’re doing — and he was genuinely so impressed with our skipper’s boatmanship. We felt completely safe and in such capable hands throughout the day.
The snorkelling was simply magical. We were taken to a beautiful spot with incredibly clear water and SO many fish. The kids loved it, the adults loved it, and it was one of those moments where you look around and think, wow, we are really lucky to be here.
We had also asked Sandy if she could recommend somewhere for an amazing Thai lunch, and she absolutely delivered. She took us to a floating restaurant that has won multiple awards, where we were able to choose our own crab and fish straight from the water. The food was honestly some of the best we have ever eaten — incredibly fresh, beautifully cooked and full of amazing Thai flavours. It was such a special experience and a real highlight of the day. We all ate everything and, importantly, no one had any tummy problems afterwards, which gave us complete confidence in the freshness and quality of the food.
One of my favourite things about 5 Star Marine was something I didn’t expect — the photos. Our host took photos throughout the day, capturing all of us swimming, snorkelling, laughing and enjoying ourselves.
As a mum, I’m usually either the one taking the photos or too busy making sure everyone else is having fun. So having beautiful photos of our whole family actually enjoying the day together was incredibly special. Those photos are going to be treasured.
What really stood out to us was that it never felt like we were simply being taken on a standard tourist boat trip. It felt personal, thoughtful and completely tailored to our family.
5 Star Marine absolutely lived up to its name. From the incredible boatmanship, the beautiful snorkelling spots, the amazing food recommendation and Sandy’s wonderful hospitality, to the thoughtful photos that captured our day — every detail was exceptional.
Thank you so much to Sandy, our skipper and the entire 5 Star Marine team. You gave our family a truly unforgettable day, and we would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone visiting Phuket.
If you’re wondering whether to book — do it. This is an experience you won’t regret. ❤️🚤🌴🐠

Amazing boat trip
We went twice and consider it again on our 2 week trip to Thailand. This is really recommended. They do everything to keep you comfortable and we are so thankful for everything they did for us on this trip. It was a perfect day both times

Great way to introduce kids to the ocean
To whole 5 star team
We are so happy to have done the tour with you. It was a great first experience for our children and we hope they start enjoying the sea as much as the rest of us as they grow up. All the staff, the booking team, the on board crew and all the others who remain unseen made the trip seamless. You communication was on point right through. 🙏

Brilliant Snorkelling and Beach Day Out
From the start, Shaun and the team were brilliant with communication, recommendations of tours that would suit our family (2 grandparents, 2 parents and 2 children ages 8 and 4) and provided detailed quotes and info. Throughout the lead up to the trip, the team ensured we were well informed. My son ended up falling ill, and the team allowed us to arrange a new date at pretty short notice to ensure we would have a great day. On the day, our guide, Beer, and his crew we AMAZING. My daughter ended up feeling seasick, so they reacted quickly, helped as much as possible and altered course to ensure she felt better and had a great day. The snorkelling was awesome and our family were able to create some special memories together. I cant recommend 5 Star Marine enough - if we come to Phuket again, we will definitely be booking another day out with them.

5 stars for 5 Star Marine.
Tour was amazing and the crew were fantastic.
As a private tour this made our day. It meant we could spend as much or as little time at each spot as we wanted. Not tied to a timetable like other companies.
Price was also very good for the tour.
Highly recommend.

5* Service Experience from Five Star
Huge thanks for our wonderful trip yesterday. From the moment we were collected by our excellent driver we knew we were in good hands. Sandy and the team gave us a brilliant day on Lisa 9 and looked after us superbly well.
They were kind, courteous, friendly, knowledgeable and complete professionals in every way.
The snorkelling sites were fantastic and though we didn’t see dolphins we did see monkeys and were also treated to a master class in fruit preparation!
Your company absolutely deserves its name - Five Star ⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
