Sailing Cruise - Racha Island and Coral Island

One Day Tropical Adventure from Phuket

Get ready for a breathtaking one-day escape with our Sailing Cruise to Racha Yai Island & Coral island, an experience that combines relaxation, exploration, and scenic beauty. Set sail on a luxury sailing yacht catamaran and explore two of Phuket’s most stunning nearby islands in a single unforgettable journey.

Your day begins at the pier where you’ll board a spacious and stylish sailing catamaran, designed for comfort and leisure. As you cruise across the shimmering Andaman Sea, enjoy panoramic views, gentle sea breezes, and refreshing drinks onboard.

First stop: Racha Yai Island (Raya Yai) Racha Yai is famous for its vibrant coral reefs and excellent snorkeling. Your catamaran will anchor at a designated snorkeling point where you can jump into the clear waters and discover tropical marine life using the provided snorkel gear and life jackets. There's also plenty of time to explore the island’s coastline, relax on board, or enjoy paddleboarding and inflatable water toys available during the trip.

After some well-earned beach time and optional lunch, it's time to continue your sailing journey to your next destination.

Second stop: Coral Island (Kahung Beach) Coral Island, also known locally as Koh Hae, is just a short cruise from the mainland. You'll disembark at Kahung Beach, a quiet paradise known for its soft white sand and crystal-clear waters. This is your moment to unwind or dive into adventure. Whether you're looking to sunbathe on a beach chair, swim in turquoise waters, or try optional sea activities like parasailing, banana boating, sea walking, or scuba diving — Coral Island has something for everyone.

As the day winds down, the real magic begins. Settle in with snacks and drinks on the catamaran’s deck as you cruise back toward Phuket under the golden sky of the Andaman sunset. It's the perfect way to end an island-hopping day.

A Stylish Day at Sea in Phuket

Discover island-hopping in the most luxurious way possible with our sailing catamaran cruise to Racha Yai and Coral Island – a perfect blend of elegance, relaxation, and tropical adventure. This full-day experience is more than just a tour; it’s a lifestyle escape on the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea.

Step aboard a spacious sailing catamaran, where comfort meets style. With wide sun decks, cushioned seating, shaded lounges, and smooth sailing, you'll glide across the sea in complete luxury. As you relax, enjoy refreshing drinks, tropical fruits, and the cool ocean breeze.

Your first destination is Racha Yai Island, famous for its coral reefs and calm snorkeling bays. Dive in to explore colorful marine life with provided snorkel gear, or simply float and relax under the sun. The sailing catamaran also carries SUP boards and fun inflatables, perfect for playtime in the sea.

Next, you’ll sail to the pristine shores of Coral Island (Kahung Beach), known for its powdery white sand and vibrant beach life. Whether you prefer to sunbathe on a beach chair, swim in crystal-clear waters, or try optional water sports like parasailing or sea walking, this island offers endless ways to enjoy paradise.

After a full day of swimming, snorkeling, and beach fun, unwind on deck with light snacks and drinks as the sun begins to set. The return journey is a highlight in itself — sailing under golden skies and taking in the magical Phuket coastline.

This is island hopping at its finest — luxurious, laid-back, and unforgettable.

Excellent company for airport transfers & excursions

We booked x2 transfers and the hong by starlight tour a few months before our holiday. Communication was quick and informative, and when we arrived to Thailand, kept regulaly informed by whats app. Transfers were alll on time, with clean and very good sized transport. However the highlight of our whole holiday was the John Gray Sea Canoes trip. A full day out with absolutely stunning scenery, we were allocated a private guide per x2 passengers who were so friendly and informative, taking photos and pointing out wildlife when out on the canoes. The food onboard was the best we have ever had on a boat trip, the coconut milk pudding with rainbow tapioca balls was deemed the best dessert ever by the kids! Making the kratong and floating it at sunset was a beautiful event and the lit up bioluminence after dark in the caves was again a memory we will all trwasuee forever. If you're going to book one trip, make it the John Gray Canoes - you wont regret it!

Excellente journée en bateau pour visites les 4 îles, la guide était super sympathique et accueillante. La journée était rythmée mais lorgique avec 4 îles à visiter! Et fin vers 14h30 donc c’est plutôt agréable pour rentrer tranquillement à l’hôtel pas trop tard ! Belle découverte, je recommande!

Ayutthaya

We would like to thank the Phuket Travel Store, especially Sunee for organizing some of our tours in Thailand. The team was really professional and we always had quick replies to our queries. We visited the Palais Royal de Bang Pa-In, in Ayutthaya the Wat Maha That and had a boat tour back to Bangkok with lunch. Our guide was kind and knowledgeable, we had a great day. Everything went well apart from the French guide not being available resulting in last minute changes and the boat/van not being completely wheelchair adapted. With help it was possible. I suggested either a car with a big booth for manual wheelchair users or a van with wheelchair ramp. Thank you for improving accessibility.

Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.
