Tour overview

This 4-day sailing trip starts on Ko Phi Phi and island-hops back to Phuket through the Andaman Sea. An experienced skipper and crew sail the group, which numbers no more than fourteen, aboard a 58-foot twin-hulled catamaran, with an onboard chef. You stay three nights on board in shared cabins with en-suite bathrooms.

From Ko Phi Phi you sail past the cliffs and lagoons of Phi Phi Leh, then on to Koh Kai, known as Chicken Island, and the quiet island of Koh Mai Thon.

At Koh Hae, or Coral Island, you snorkel or kayak over the reef, then visit Ko Man before a final swim and a smooth sail into Phuket.
