The crew were so lovely and looked after us so well, especially our 5 year old son. They were very accomodating and attentive. The snorkelling was amazing! The most beautiful reefs with amazing marine life

Our experience with 5 Star Marine was exceptional from the moment we started the inquiry with them, all the way till we completed the trip and even follow-up after that. The team behind was giving us periodic updates on the weather and what to expect on the D-day. They asked us about our preferences for refreshments and had plenty of them ready on the private boat when we were aboard. The private boat itself was very spacious and well-maintained. The crew were very accommodating and gave us plenty of time to explore on the islands. The Coral Island and the Racha islands that we went to were breath-taking and the crew stopped at perfect spots for snorkeling and swimming. The crew had enough snorkeling gears for the big party of 15 of us. We had an unfortunate incident when one of our friends had stepped on a sea-urchin. The crew (headed by Beer) quickly swung into action by providing first-aid and then taking the person to the hospital when we disembarked. The support that the 5 Star Marine team provided on this was immeasurable. A big thanks for that. The service and the experience that we had with 5 Star Marine was the best and I really cannot recommend it enough, whether you are a couple, a family or a group of friends. I would definitely do another tour with them the next time we are in Phuket.

Just wanted to say a thank you to 5 star marine for our lovely family day out to Coral Island (11 of us including the youngest aged 2 and the eldest aged 74). They were great from the point of getting information and booking. They had a cancellation policy in case the weather was bad on the day we could rearrange or cancel for a full refund. They do not change per person but by boat which was very reasonable. We hired it privately for a day for a family of 11. The transfers to and from our hotel was included and was seamless from the point of picking us up. On arriving at the marina they had a lovely office which had pastries, tea, coffee, sickness tablets and little bits for the children to enjoy all complimentary. The boat was very clean and the equipment was also excellent and well looked after. The team that took us got the day were attentive. Thanks to Sandy and the team, we had a fantastic afternoon snorkelling and playing on the beach at Coral island. They were great with the children and the elderly with us and helped them to enjoy a snorkel too. Sandy was very helpful in getting all out things on and off the boat and finding us a spot to relax on the beach. On our way back we had a lovely fruit platter to enjoy. I would definitely recommend 5 star marine. They really looked after us and are great value for money.

I’m in Phuket with 3 young kids (10,9,4) and wanted to get some advice on the safest places to introduce snorkeling to the family. Within 2 minutes I had several options, clear pricing and straight forward no-no sense clarity. On the day, the team organised direct point A-B pickup and drop off, was greeted by a great team that understood the challenges of managing a young family and everyone made sure we all had the best time. If it’s peace of mind and a lot of happy faces, I’d highly recommend this team. 5-stars for 5 Star Marine.

We recently did a private charter with 5star, for 3 adults and 4 teenage kids. It was all arranged with very short notice but Shaun and the team were highly responsive and helpful in their communication. The trip was great, with a large degree of flexibility offered. Our guide, Ms Faii was a hoot and really great. Our captain Mas was also excellent, especially as the swells were quite large and the sea conditions quite unsettled. I highly recommend 5Star for their professionalism and the wide range of trips and vessels available.

Our Coral Island private boat tour will remain one of our top memories on our trip to Thailand. The 5 Star crew was amazing. Our guide, Ya Ya, was the best - easy to get along with, fun and kept us informed about each of our stops and the best things to do there. She went above and beyond helping us with our lunch order at the amazing floating restaurant Khru Vit/ Kru Wit. The food was phenomenal. Every time we got on the boat after a swim, there was fresh fruit for us. We loved snorkeling at a secret spot and seeing purple star fish, puffers, moorish idol, parrotfish, trumpetfish and lion fish. Banana beach was beautiful and we saw the most amazing hornbill in the trees. Pulling back into the marina, we saw two families of macaques monkeys. We definitely recommend this trip with 5 Star Marine!

Had the best experience on our trip to Coral island. It was the highlight of my trip. The staff are amazing and even took us to a floating restaurant on the way back for the best local food. Will definitely be booking again on my next trip to Thailand.

We've done a private boat trip to Coral Island, Koh He and Banana Beach and it was perfect! The boat is immaculated and they had everything organised to perfection! We went with Mr Bia (Mr Beer) , Joey and Gobe, these guys are fantastic, drove safely, knowledgeable not even mentioning the nice chats we spend the whole day and they made us feel like family. I can't recommend them enough. It is worth every penny and I cannot await to meet them again and go many more trips around the precious Thailand waters again. Well done 5 Stars Marine, for being just excellent!
