Reviews — water sports in Phuket

I had such a great experience at Yona Beach Club. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel very welcome. The food was delicious, and every dish we ordered was served surprisingly fast. The atmosphere, music, and beautiful ocean views made it the perfect place to relax and enjoy the day.

I enjoyed a great day on the water. Well organised, from hotel pickup to drop-off. The fish we caught were cooked on the boat for our lunch. We moored at an island for lunch with time allowed for a cooling swim. The skipper and his team were very helpful. I would definitely do this trip again.

So glad we went with our gut feeling and chose Sharkey over bigger dive operators. After not diving for two years we were a little rusty, but Oui made us feel completely safe with a thorough refresher and helpful tips. She is passionate, patient and by far the best dive master we had.

Shibuli 40 — the team was JJ the captain, Ling the host and chef, and Tha the boat engineer. From accommodating what we wanted to do, to the food, the service, the beautiful catamaran, the private beach and dinner on the beach, it was the highlight of our first trip to Thailand.

I booked the advanced open water diver and had a great experience. Jon was a great instructor who gave good advice and took care of me at all times. Felt really safe. The dive sites were cool — I saw a sea turtle, reef sharks, multiple wrecks and lots of other stuff.

Great trip. We booked for two days and caught a lot of tuna through trolling. We also had a good haul of grouper with bottom fishing, and jigging yielded some excellent catches as well. I would particularly highlight that the top anglers were two twelve-year-olds.

Had an amazing diving experience with Sayeed. We did three dives and each one was incredible. He was extremely attentive throughout, always making sure we were comfortable and safe, and pointed out so many things underwater that we would have missed on our own.

We did a half-day tour to the Kai Islands. The islands were calm and not busy — we heard Phi Phi was crowded and chaotic, so we are very glad we chose these. Our guides Nadia and Thor made us a wonderful lunch on the boat and really pay attention to details.

Just spent a full day on the Shashani Leopard 43ft power catamaran and had the best time. The crew were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. All the water toys — slide, paddle board, floating pool — were so much fun, and lunch was incredibly delicious.

My wife and I took the Phi Phi Sunrise Tour and we were super impressed with both the tour and Simba Sea Trips. The booking process was easy and the company provided excellent early-morning pickup and drop-off from a hotel forty minutes from the marina.

Roger greeted us on arrival and upgraded our boat to make sure we had the best ride. The crew of four catered to our every need — a slide, a paddle board, a dinghy ride onto the islands. The food was cooked fresh on the boat and was absolutely amazing.

We had an absolutely great day going to the Phi Phi islands with Andaman Leisure. Oak was our tour guide and explained what we were going to be doing clearly and with great humor. He and the crew were attentive, friendly and caring for us passengers.

Nut and Captain Tel were incredibly attentive and made the whole day feel smooth even though the weather was uncertain. Visiting James Bond Island and kayaking through the caves was unforgettable. The trip felt very private and we never felt rushed.

I just finished a three-day SSI training with Alex at Sunrise Divers and it was an amazing experience. He is a very experienced instructor and a friendly guy. If you want someone you can trust and feel safe and comfortable with, he is the guy.

We had an incredible experience with Simba Sea Trips on their Phang Nga Bay tour. The punctual pickup, the well-maintained boat and the perfectly timed itinerary let us enjoy the stops without the usual crowds. The group size was ideal.

What an amazing experience. The boat and the service were 10/10. We went around Krabi and every step of the way was done so well, with a picnic stop on the beach, snorkelling and then lunch. My fiancé even got some time to fish.

This private boat tour to the Phi Phi Islands was perfect. We snorkelled, paddle boarded, saw monkeys, had a delicious lunch and ended with a Mai Tai on a private beach. It was worth every penny to have a full 8 hour boat day.

The tour was perfect and the crew was more than great. All three of them were nice and helpful. We were welcomed with a cool drink and sticky rice with mango, and the picnic on an almost deserted little island was amazing.

Amazing trip. We went for the half-day Rang and Kai island trip. Great organisation, fast responses on WhatsApp and a very lovely onboard assistant. Everything went smoothly and the experience exceeded our expectations.

Transport actually came early and we were on the boat by 6am. Sara gave us a quick brief and we watched the sunrise on the way to Maya beach. The beach was pretty empty and the breakfast was good with plenty of food.

A very well organized tour to Phi Phi island. The staff is really kind and still aware of your safety. Our guide Andy is really funny and knows some nice spots. The pick up from the hotel was right on time.

Took the Phi Phi island trip with them. First they offer a small breakfast before moving, then on the very nice speed boat you have all types of drinks and fruits, then lunch after the third stop.

Fabulous tour from start to finish. We got out to the islands before all the crowds and there were only 11 guests on board. The team were warm and very attentive, and our guide was full of energy.

Sea Bees is awesome. Did a day dive trip and was not expecting what we got — breakfast and lunch were included on the boat and were delicious. Great diving and great dive masters. Great operation.

Absolutely perfect day with Noy Noy and the crew. Everyone at Simba went above and beyond, from a smooth pick up and drop off at our hotel to the food and drinks provided throughout the day.

We booked a private trip for our family, four adults and two small children. The price might be a little more, but it is fully tailored: you can change what you do on the day.

My 15-year-old son and I enjoyed a magical morning kayaking in and around the mangrove forest. The owner and guide expertly and safely led us on a suitably challenging route.

Andrej is one of the best guides I have ever met. I've been on many trips before, but on our private day his kindness and willingness to help are hard to put into words.

Amazing experience! Kayaks are brand new. Even though the guides are not fluent in English, simple words and hand gestures are more than enough to have a good time.

We had a fantastic day with Andaman Sea Kayak and would absolutely recommend this tour. We visited four different locations, and each one offered something unique.

Did the island jet-ski adventure, exploring several islands along the way. The whole experience was amazing — riding across the water and discovering new spots.

Nadia and her team were our private guides — five full hours on the water, our own route, and we could open up to full speed whenever we wanted. Brilliant fun.

We went out for an amazing day with the Wakesurf Bros — a sensational time on the water. I’d never done it before but I was coached brilliantly and got up.

We had a wonderful experience with Wakesurf Bros — definitely recommend! There were four of us surfing for two hours, most trying it for the first time.

I had an incredible experience with Wakesurf Bros from start to finish. The team were professional, friendly and clearly passionate about what they do.

Nice and friendly staff — we had a great time and they really put effort into making it a great experience for us. Worth the ride out to the spot.

Had a great 4-hour jet-ski tour led by Tata. We visited nine islands in total and stopped at two for a buffet lunch and swimming and snorkelling.

The views were spectacular and the snorkelling was amazing, thousands of fish. Five crew on board, and every one of them was kind and helpful.

The kayak and life jackets are clean and new, mangrove trees were beautiful to say the least, and the manager was super nice and friendly.

We had a great time today — thank you to the team, especially Nadia our guide and both captains, who looked after us the whole way round.

I had a lot of fun — the service was excellent and the instructors were very thorough, taking the time to get each of us up on the board.

A must for adventure seekers in Phuket — Seatime Wakesurf offers exciting rides for all ages. A really thrilling few hours on the water.

What an amazing morning! So much fun and a fantastic, friendly and fun operator. Great for teenage kids and parents. Thanks Downy.

The trip was great and very nice — I’d recommend the jet-ski trip, it’s great to try. And a big thanks to Downy, she was so kind.

It was all so well organised from start to finish. We cruised Phang Nga Bay and did mini excursions by canoe into secret lagoons.

From the hotel pickup to the whole day, we were very pleased with our choice. It became one of the major highlights of the trip.

We absolutely loved our day in Phang Nga Bay with 5 Star Marine. Beautiful scenery, a great guide and great staff on the boat.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this amazing adventure. The whole staff, food, sights were brilliant. Highly recommend it.

An early start at 5 am, but worth it: by 9 am it can be quite crowded. Food and refreshments all day, with lunch at a resort.

Would recommend this trip even if you can't swim. The kayak personnel were very well trained and safety was always put first.

From start to finish the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Every member of the crew was warm and professional.

The Thai guide was very kind and provided excellent service, and the jet skis were high quality and really fun to ride.

This experience was nothing short of amazing! The staff are friendly and the tour is well worth what you pay for.

From start to finish the crew was outgoing and full of energy. The sailing was smooth and the scenery incredible.

Jet-ski tour to 6 islands over 4 hours — a good trip and good service. Recommend! One more star for the staff.

The best team — the staff were so nice and I’m grateful for their good work. A brilliant day out on the water.

So much fun and a very good company. We had a brilliant afternoon zipping between the islands.

I had the best experience, the staff are amazing and helpful. I highly recommend this place.

Super amazing — one of the best watersports companies in Phuket. We had a brilliant time.

Excellent coach, great service and a good price. A fun introduction to wakesurf.

The best team and staff was so nice and I'm grateful for their good workers.

An incredible experience. Crystal-clear water and a really nice vibe.

One more star for our staff and guide Downy.

Yona Beach Club is such a unique experience — the whole concept of a floating beach club is honestly amazing. Check-in was easy, and each guest gets a complimentary juice. The wait for the speedboat to take us out to the club was quick, and the ride itself was beautiful. They provided life jackets, and the scenery on the way there made the whole experience even better.

It is quite a long day: pickup at 10:30, drop-off at 21:15. The pickup and communication are great, but the agency was busy and there was some waiting.

Our guide Tata was lovely and professional, and the private format is great. Honestly, though, for a five-hour VIP tour it felt pricey, and I'd have liked a bit more variety in the route — good, not amazing.

Not for us, unfortunately — our boat was delayed on arrival and we felt the communication could have been better. Confirm your start time before you go.

Our session didn’t quite match what we’d booked — I’d double-check exactly what’s included (instructor, photos) with them directly before you pay.
