We took a 4 hour private boat trip up to James Bond Island. What an amazing area. We were taken to a secluded beach to swim, lunch at a local restaurant, a floating soccer field, a magical hidden mangrove cave. So much to see, and our tour guides were absolutely lovely. Thank you!

Great tour! We were on one of the new small speed boats which was perfect for the two of us. The crew were amazing especially Tony our guide, the communication from first enquiring to the day of your was outstanding and really appreciated. We avoided crowds everywhere we went which after doing ‘group’ island hopping tours before, was exactly why we decided to give the private tour a go, and so glad we did!

We had a fantastic experience with 5 Star Marine and couldn’t be happier with our choice. From start to finish, everything was extremely well organized and ran smoothly. The logistics were flawless, the communication was clear, and the whole day felt relaxed and professional. A special mention to Spicy, our lead, and the entire crew – they were kind, attentive, and very professional, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and taken care of throughout the trip. The boats are brand new, very well maintained, and clearly operated to a high standard, which added a lot to the overall feeling of safety and quality. We enjoyed the experience so much that we actually booked a second tour with them during the same vacation – which says it all. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a top-notch boating experience in Phuket.

Absolutely fantastic trip....cannot recommend this company & their staff highly enough. Upon their advice we were picked up at our Hotel at 6.30am for a transfer to marina in a luxury minibus. (Fyi....we were dropped back off at our Hotel by about 4pm) We had a private speedboat tour booked for 8 family & friends. We were warmly greeted by our brilliant host Spicy (more on him later!) We were given various options for a light breakfast & cold bottles of water. Our itinerary for the day was various island stops involving canoeing, canyoning, visit to James Bond Island, lunch on a floating village and a couple of hours with fruit & drinks on a private island Palm Beach. Would recommend this early morning start as you undoubtedly avoid the crowds & get a more private experience, i e we were the only tourists on the private beach. Now what can we say about Spicy?! He was the most perfect, funny, outrageous host we could have asked for and I would defo specifically ask for him if doing again. He was really informative & funny at the same time but also allowing plenty of private time on our own at various points. He genuinely has a love for his job and goes out of his way to make sure everyone is enjoying & having a great time. He would regulary ask if everything was ok in a caring way. Overall, if you are reading this because you're thinking of booking i will tell you 100% do it. We're fussy travellers who expect the best & we weren't disappointed and brilliant value for money. Go for it! Thanks to 5 Star Marine, Spicy and all the other staff/helpers we met along the trip. Never mind 5 stars...this is 11/10 👍😀

This tour exceeded all of my expectations. Collected from the hotel in great vehicle, quick transfer to the boat lagoon and a fantastic welcome, with coffee, juice and light breakfast snacks. After a quick briefing, we were on the water and heading out. The boat was excellent, clean and comfortable and the on board crew amazing. Spicy, was out tour leader. Flamboyant, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. Exploring caves, canoeing through lagoon and of course visiting James Bond island. Then a stop for lunch before enjoying time at an isolated beach. All in all a brilliant way to spend the day. Highly, highly recommended.

We had an amazing time, especially with our guide Spicy. He truly took great care of us and paid attention to every single detail. He was lovely, funny, and very professional, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He even surprised us with a birthday cake, which was such a thoughtful touch. The trip to James Bond Island was incredible, and on top of everything, he was also a great photographer, capturing so many beautiful moments for us. I highly recommend this tour and this company — they are genuinely fun and know how to create a memorable experience. Go for it without any hesitation

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with 5 Star Marine during our private tours to Phi Phi Islands and Phang Nga Bay & James Bond Island. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized. The speedboats were modern, extremely comfortable, and impeccably maintained, allowing us to enjoy the tours in total safety and relaxation. A special mention goes to the crew onboard, who were professional, friendly, and always attentive to every detail. In particular, Jimmy, who was exceptional — always smiling, extremely helpful, and genuinely caring about our comfort and enjoyment throughout the day. He truly made a difference and made us feel like VIP guests. The itinerary was well planned, the timing was perfect to avoid crowds, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations in every way. If you are looking for a high-quality, private, and unforgettable experience in Phuket, 5 Star Marine is absolutely the right choice. Highly recommended — we would choose them again without hesitation! Thank you for two unforgettable days!

Wow! What an amazing experience! We loved our guide Beer. He made sure our party of 14 (ages 17 to 84) are comfortable! We loved seeing the beautiful islands, kayaking through the caves, and visiting the floating village. They did everything right from pick up to customizing the itinerary based on our needs.

Our private charter experience with 5 Star Marine was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The booking process was smooth and professional, with the team helping us customize an itinerary that perfectly matched what we wanted to see and do. On the day, the boat was immaculate, spacious, and very comfortable, with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the views. Faii and the crew were exceptional—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without ever being intrusive. They made us feel safe and well looked after at all times, and their local knowledge meant we visited beautiful spots away from the crowds. Everything ran perfectly and the overall experience felt truly luxurious. It was the highlight of our time in Phuket and worth every penny. If you’re looking for a premium, stress-free way to explore the islands, I couldn’t recommend 5 Star Marine more highly. We would absolutely book with them again.
