yacht charter in koh samui, My Odyssey Adventures

Exclusive Boat Tours in Koh Samui

A new arrival on the Koh Samui boating scene is the elegant sailing yacht Odyssey - a 44-ft (13m) motorized sailing catamaran which has been extensively modified for comfortable leisure sailing in the island’s warm tropical waters.

Destinations

A luxury yacht sailing experience for up to 18 passengers, private charter, explore koh samui archipelago from bang rak pier, based on buri rasa pier.

Odyssey is based on Buri Rasa Pier in Bangrak Bay on Samui's north coast, making it conveniently accessible to the area’s main boating playground.

Keypoint Location

It can be anchored in one of the many stunning bays or coves for a sublime day of swimming, snorkelling or paddle boarding.

Destinations to discover with our Sailing Boat

Exclusive boat day charter, koh phangan.

A full-day day sailing around Samui is the perfect way to see this beautiful tropical island from a different perspective. Heading north-east from the boat’s mooring in Bang Rak Bay, you pass the magnificent golden landmark of the Big Buddha and round the point at Laem Samrong, before heading down the east coast past the beautiful bays of  Thong Sai and Choeng Mon on to the spectacular 7 km stretch of palm-fringed, shimmering white sand that is Chaweng Beach – the island’s most famous and most developed to tourism.

As you sail south past one luxury resort after another, the stunning strip of white sand at Lamai leads around the coastline to the more wild and scenic south coast of the island with its   mountainous backdrop, palm plantations and fishing villages.  Just off-shore the islands of Koh Mat Sum [also known as ‘Pig Island’ for its pig population] and Koh Tean which are relatively untouched and offer beautiful beaches, snorkeling and rustic local seafood restaurants.

As you round south-west tip of the island and head north up east coast, the distinctive sight of the 5 Islands outcrop greets you as you sail on past bay after bay of white sandy beaches, lush jungle-covered hills dotted with luxury villas and the island’s main town and key ferry port Nathon.

With the spectacular limestone archipelago of Ang thong National Marine Park off to the west, you eventually round the north-west tip of the island and along the scenic and well developed north coast with its luxury beach resorts and mountainous backdrop back to Bophut.

A magical, mountainous island which looms large on the horizon from the north coast of Samui, Koh Pha Ngan is also known as ‘Full-Moon Island’ for its monthly beach party at the small town of Haad Rin on the south-east coast  which attract more 20,000+ visitors. 

Otherwise, the island is quiet and relatively undeveloped and scenically stunning with its lush, jungle-covered mountains and endless white sandy bays and beaches.

Sailing conditions on the more rugged and inaccessible east coast are ideal at certain times of the year when the south-west winds are blowing, at others, the west or sunset coast offers a different view with its low-hills and palm-fringed beaches and coves.   

Just north of Haad Rin on the south-east coast, the picture-perfect Haad Yuan bay is the perfect  destination from Samui for a day of sublime sailing, swimming and beach walking.  A charming, rustic beach resort Bamboo Hut nestles among the boulders on the north side of the bay and is a must-visit known for its challenging wooden walkway, bamboo terrace, colourful clientele and stunning vista of the turquoise bay and mountains.   

Sailing north from here, you pass deserted beaches in secluded bays, luxury resorts rub shoulders with small local resorts on stunning sandy stretches like Ao Thong Nai Pan or the picturesque Bottle Beach. 

Once you round the north-west tip of the island at Ko Mah – known for the island’s best snorkeling grounds – a string of idyllic palm-fringed bays and coves with wondrous names like Salad Beach and Secret Beach, are home to endless small resorts and delightful beachside  restaurants and ideal for anchoring and going ashore to eat.

For an excellent and very comprehensive guide to sailing around the islands of Koh Samui, visit the following website:

Overnight Charter in a Luxury Boat

Angthong national park, koh madsum & koh tan.

This conservation area of 42 jungle-covered karst [limestone] islands is an area of immense natural beauty just 28 km from the north-west tip of Koh Samui.  Seen from the north and west coast of Samui, the archipelago runs north to south like a chain of mysterious islands hovering on the horizon.    

Although many motorized boats make a day-trip fairly accessible, for sailing it’s a little too far for the day.  If you want to really explore this remarkable area with its myriad coves, caves, corals, lagoons, jungle-trails and beaches, plan on an overnight trip to experience it at its best. 

It’s a paradise for swimming and snorkeling among the corals and caves or taking to your paddle board for a leisurely tour of the enchanting coves and inlets that surround these extraordinary islands.  Your experienced crew will know all the best places to go, so you can relax knowing you are in good hands.

The area is a national park and a highly protected natural area, so an entrance fee is applicable to every vessel that enters, otherwise, most of the archipelago is relatively untouched with the only restaurant and tourism area being at Koh Ang Thong.

This is the place to pack a picnic, all the ingredients for a barbecue and sail off to one of the many stunning islands to anchor and enjoy the peace and quiet and natural beauty of Thailand and hopefully to catch one of Samui’s famously epic sunsets.

Koh Tao (“Turtle Island” in Thai) lives up to its name, being one of the greatest scuba diving destinations in southern Thailand. The perfect white-sand beaches which ring the hilly 21-sq-km island are surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Thailand. The compact island is about 60 km to the north of Samui and was only really “discovered” in the early 1980s, but now supports a varied selection of hotels, from budget guesthouses and beach bungalows up to 5-star luxury resorts. So far from civilisation and while still being relatively easily reached, it is the idyllic tropical island paradise.

Although popular for day tours by longtail boat from Thong Krut on Samui’s south-west coast, the small, neighbouring islands of Koh Mat Sum and Koh Tean are a little too far for a day-trip from the boat’s mooring in Bang Rak, so we recommend an overnight trip. 

Koh Mat Sum is basically one long white sand beach with clear shallow water which has become well-known amongst Instagrammers for its population of rescued pigs, hence its moniker ‘Pig Island’. 

 Just nearby Koh Tean is well-known for its walkway through the mangrove swamp and its rustic local restaurants serving fresh seafood caught by the island’s fishermen.

The beautiful tropical islands are surrounded by reefs and ideal for lazy days swimming, snorkelling, fishing and paddle boarding around the corals and beaches.  

Just to the west lies the distinctive group known as the ‘5 Islands’ on the south-west corner of Samui.  The waters around these precious bird’s nest collecting islands are deep and it’s fascinating to sail through the islands marveling at the small collectors’ shacks that cling to the steep cliff faces.

The island has numerous heavenly white sand beaches and secluded bays all along its coastline, some of them reachable only by a boat cruise. Over three quarters of the island is mountainous tropical forest. Much of the island is classified as “National Park” by Thailand’s government, allowing the island to keep its natural and untamed character. Nearby Koh Ma has the best Koh Phangan-area snorkeling.

Koh Tao Thailand

Koh Tao & NangYuan

Ko Tao is also known as the turtle island as its shape resembles one. Ko Tao´s little sister island, Ko Nangyuan, is a private island that consists of three smaller islands connected together by a beautiful sandbank. Together, these locations form three bays with crystal-clear water and no current, white sandy beaches, a variety of colorful fish and fascinating coral reefs that offer optimal conditions for snorkeling.

Emerald Lagoon Angthong Marine Park

Angthong National Marine Park translates as ‘golden bowl’, occupies almost 250 sq. km and includes 50 sq. km of protected nature area consisting of over 40 islands. All of the islands are uninhabited and undeveloped except for one. This island, Koh Paluay, is inhabited by “sea-gypsies” who still earn a living from fishing. The islands resemble Koh Samui 40 years ago, prior to the arrival of tourism and modern infrastructure. The Marine Park is famous for its natural beauty untouched by development.

Long Tail Boat on Koh Madsum

Koh Tan & Madsum

These are two small neighboring islands which are located approx. five Kilometers west from Koh Samui’s quiet Southern fishing bays. Koh Tan or “Coral Island” is a primitive island with a small pristine village. The island is surrounded by coral reefs along the white sandy beaches that both snorkelers and sun bathing lovers can join together. This is a perfect place to visit as an alternative to a full day trip as it is so close to Samui but offers all the same exciting activities as many of the other destinations located hours away.

Private Charter Boat Tours & Scuba Concierge Service

(with snorkeling around 7 hours). A chain of 42 limestone islands, from stunning rugged rocks and cliffs, to secluded white beaches. The best snorkeling and diving is in the very north, and then we cruise through the islands. Optional stop at Talay Nai for a trek to a viewpoint of the surrounding islands, and also the famous Emerald Lake, which was also the inspiration for the ‘Blue Lagoon” from the movie “the Beach” – part of the movie was filmed in Angthong.

We recommend a relaxed lunch on the boat to avoid the often busy tourist restaurants – we chose our own dining spot whenever we feel ready.We pride ourselves on avoiding crowds and crowded sites where at all possible, as some sites can be full of snorkeling boats – we will go to different sites that we know well.

(with stops for snorkeling and beaches around 6 hours). Koh Phangan is the largest of the islands off Samui, and quickly accessible. There are many beautiful white beaches, smaller islands and coral reefs to stop at and explore, with each stop being unique. There are amazing views of the mountainous interior, rugged boulder-strewn coastlines, white beaches, abundant lush vegetation. There’s plenty of corals and marine life to enjoy snorkeling or scuba diving. We visit different beaches and some surrounding islands, private beaches, different reefs. Options to enjoy a cocktail or 2 at a local beach bar. Lunch on the boat with incredible views is recommended.

(with snorkeling around 8 hours). Koh Tao is famed for a huge choice of reefs and an incredible variety of marine life – often the water is much more clear around Koh Tao than around Koh Samui, so it is well worth the trip to experience the nature here. It is the scuba diving haven in the area, and also many snorkeling tours from Samui come here. We use our local knowledge to stop & snorkel at some of the quieter reefs that divers know to avoid the crowds, and stop at a few different locations. Koh Nang Yuan is the very famous small chain of 3 islands joined by sandbanks. Here you can climb to the viewpoint, have lunch and drinks on the beach, and we take you to snorkel / dive sites off the island. [here we can’t control the crowds…]

Lunch on the boat is also an option – we will stop away from the crowds and enjoy the views from the sea.

(with snorkeling around 7 hours). These are 2 small islands off the south coast of Samui. We cruise from Fishermans village in the north, around the headland and down the west coast. We pass by the 5 Islands archipelago, and onto these 2 paradise Islands. Koh Madsum is very undeveloped, with 1 eco-resort and a small refreshment area on the unspoiled white sandy beach the other side. Here you can chill on the beach, swim and meet and interact with the tame wild pigs . Koh Tan is surrounded by coral reefs and sandy beaches – perfect for snorkeling and exploring on-land. There is a small temple here also with a whale back-bone underneath. You can enjoy fresh seafood and thai menu lunch at a beach restaurant here. This is a really relaxed and varied day out.

to Koh Som / Choeng Mon / Maenam for simple chilling and a few cold drinks. Sit back and relax, jump in the water, snorkel, enjoy the Samui coastline views. From 2-4 hours duration.

You choose where you want to go:

– Koh Tao, Angthong Marine Park, Koh Phangan, Koh Madsum, Koh Rap etc

Decide how long:

– Full day, half day, sunset cruise, etc

How many people will join:

– To help us recommend the best boat

What do you want to do:

– Swim, snorkel, sunbathe, scuba, sunset…

I'm looking for as much detailed advice as I can get please.

Looks like we'd have to catch a train from Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal to Surat Thani Train Station, then a bus to Surat Thani Bus Terminal then a taxi to Lomprayah Tapee Pier.

Is this the most straight forward route?

Is this something we can book in advance? Looking at other posts we would certainly book 1st class.

Is there a simpler route ( flying is too expensive)?

A bit concerned about getting all these elements to line up in time to catch the ferry. Is the ferry pre bookable?

Should we also be considering a hotel near the pier area.

Sorry, lots of questions but would really apprecaite any guidance.

Have you looked into flying to Surathani and take bus plus ferry from there?

private boat trip koh samui

The train may be delayed.

private boat trip koh samui

Incoming trains at Surat Thani are met by buses and vans to bring passengers to the various ferry piers. So you can buy a ticket on the spot that covers the transportation to the pier and the ferry. Don’t book in advance because the train might be delayed and you miss your ferry.

Personally, I bite the bullet and pay the high price for a direct flight .

‘The White Lotus’ Thailand is next. These hotels do it on a budget.

HBO’s hottest hotel group, “The White Lotus,” is expanding to Thailand — on screen at least. The location for season 3 has been confirmed , and Bloomberg reported in January that loose-lipped industry insiders say filming is taking place at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui , the Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas and a still-undisclosed hotel in Bangkok. The network has stayed quiet on specific hotels.

The news is a boon for Four Seasons and the Thailand-based Anantara group; the show’s previous two seasons, set in Hawaii and Sicily , have proved to turbocharge travelers’ interest in their already popular respective locales. After the seasons aired, bookings soared at Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea and the Four Seasons’ San Domenico Palace in Taormina.

It’s safe to say that these Thai resorts can expect a similar uptick in reservations after season 3 premieres in 2025. But living out the White Lotus fantasy isn’t within every traveler’s reach. One night at the Four Seasons in Koh Samui will cost you at least $1,400. And while at $660 per night, starting rates at the Anantara in Phuket are a fair bit lower — they’re still not exactly a steal for anyone but the most deep-pocketed visitors.

Nightly rates at Thailand’s big-brand luxury resorts can often be on par with those in Europe or the United States, but a burgeoning ecosystem of local hospitality groups and independently owned hotels offers many of the same five-star perks at a fraction of the price. For about $180, the average rate of a night in a three-star hotel room in Miami Beach, you can book a villa with a private pool and round-the-clock service on the beach in Koh Samui.

Here are six Thailand beach retreats offering five-star luxury on a Best Western budget.

Meliá Koh Samui

On palm-pinned Choeng Mon Beach, a few bays east of the Four Seasons Koh Samui, sits the first Thai outpost of Spanish hotel brand Meliá . Still fresh from its opening in 2020, this family-friendly resort aims for midmarket rather than high-end, but that doesn’t make it any less worthy of its five-star label. Rooms, starting at $181 per night, riff on the island’s maritime past with nautical rope decor and licks of ocean-blue, while its top-level suites occupy reclaimed teakwood barges. Even the standard rooms open to a bubble bath on their balcony, and suites with either a private pool or direct access to a more than 2,200-foot pool that meanders through the resort’s manicured tropical gardens have the option to have breakfast delivered in a floating basket (if that’s your thing).

The Surin, Phuket

Rumors circulated that Amanpuri, one of Phuket’s ritziest beach retreats, would be one of the film sets for the third season of “The White Lotus.” They were ultimately dispelled, but the resort remains a firm favorite with wealthy travelers. With rates often shooting to well over $1500 per night, this is territory for the privileged few — but insiders know that the Surin next door offers similar perks and the same palm-tufted setting at a fraction of the cost. This beachfront spot is the only resort offering access to Amanpuri’s semiprivate Pansea Beach, one of Phuket’s prettiest. Pitched up among the treetops, the Surin’s airy deluxe cottages start at $220 per night and overlook the Andaman Sea from their snug, parasol-shaded balconies. The resort is part of White Lotus lore, too: it was here that creator Mike White first hinted at Thailand being the show’s next location.

Cape Kudu, Koh Yao Noi

A short speedboat-hop from Phuket, the island of Koh Yao Noi feels like a trip back in time. Its palm-fringed beaches remain blissfully free of tourist crowds, and sleepy coconut farms — not shopping malls or amusement parks — still cover most of its jungled inland. Cape Kudu , on the sunrise-facing east coast, is one of the island’s chicest places to stay. Its breezy rooms and villas come furnished with lots of linen, sun-bleached woods and wickerwork; a similarly laid-back theme dresses the spa, restaurant and beanbag-lined infinity pool. With low-season rates from May to October starting at $122 per night, this small resort offers excellent bang for your baht. And those dazzling views over Phang Nga Bay’s dramatic karst formations? They’re free.

The Sarojin, Khao Lak

This resort in the beachside holiday hub of Khao Lak, about an hour north of Phuket, delivers a textbook example of classic Thai hospitality — fresh orchids, jasmine-scented towels and lilting sawatdi ka, or hello, greetings included. The Sarojin ’s rooms are teakwood-clad wonders with spalike bathrooms and heaps of private space, but you’ll probably spend more time in one of the pool cabanas, which are lined with gauzy curtains billowing in the breeze. A powder-sugar beach stretches out in front and is a jumping-off point for kayak trips and sailings on the resort’s charter yacht, which can end with candlelit dinners on a nearby private islet. Rates for garden views start at $180 per night and include leisurely all-day breakfast with sparkling wine served until 6 p.m.

The ShellSea, Krabi

From taxis to cocktails, prices on Thailand’s most popular islands are generally much higher than on the mainland. The beaches, however, can be equally pretty — which makes booking a seafront resort ashore a smart way to cut holiday costs (additionally, you’ll save on boat transfers and plane tickets — flights to Thailand’s island destinations tend to be pricey). One of southern Thailand’s most popular hideouts is Krabi, a string of honey-hued beaches and jungle-cloaked karst formations. The ShellSea resort, a ten-minute drive from postcard-pretty Ao Nang beach, makes for a plush base with suites from $120 per night, a spa and three swimming pools. A hammock-lined private beach hugs part of the resort’s oceanfront, while island-hopping day trips can take you to Phang Nga Bay’s prettiest stretches of sand.

SAii Koh Samui Choengmon

While Koh Samui’s three-mile Chaweng Beach, sits just ten minutes from its doorstep, SAii Koh Samui Choengmon ’s perch on little-developed Hanuman Bay feels a world away from the crowds. Its most affordable room will set you back about $170, but the amenities are anything but cheap. At this all-villa resort, even the entry-level digs open to a generously sized sun deck and private pool, have a tropic-tinged bathroom with rain shower and include bespoke bathroom amenities mixed with your preferred scents. Other perks include complimentary yoga classes every morning, and a pick-and-mix of free snacks to bring back to your room.
