Why go, and how to do it well

Operating daily from a base in Tambon Maret on Koh Samui's southern coast, this charter service specializes in guided boat tours and private yacht experiences across the waters surrounding one of Thailand's most celebrated island destinations. The standout offering is a full-day excursion to Ang Thong National Marine Park, a protected archipelago of limestone islands, emerald lagoons, and secluded beaches accessible only by sea. Private charters aboard vessels such as the Red Dragon provide a more exclusive setting for those seeking a quieter, personalized day on the water.

Visitors can expect a well-organized experience that typically includes snorkeling, kayaking, swimming, and island exploration, with safety equipment, crew supervision, and onboard food and snacks provided throughout the day. Guides are noted for their local knowledge and attentiveness, and the atmosphere leans relaxed and unhurried rather than rushed or overly commercial. The operation runs extended hours daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, accommodating both early departures and sunset excursions.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Perfect Day in Koh Samui! We had an incredible day on this luxurious yacht — truly one of the highlights of our trip! The whole experience felt so exclusive and peaceful; we didn’t encounter a single other cruise the entire day, which made it feel like we had the ocean all to ourselves. The kayaking was so much fun, and the snorkeling was simply breathtaking. I’ve visited many beautiful places, but the sheer amount and variety of fish and corals here blew me away. The atmosphere on board was wonderfully relaxed and fun for everyone — we had kids and adults of all ages, and everyone had a fantastic time. Meeting and chatting with people from all over the world added to the charm and made the day even more special. The crew was amazing — so friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to make sure we were happy. They constantly checked in, served drinks, and made everything effortless for us. And the food… wow! Everything was freshly prepared and absolutely delicious — we even got fresh fruit and ice cream! I had the best green curry of my entire two weeks in Thailand. We felt blissfully spoilt from start to finish. If you want a truly special experience away from the tourist crowds, this tour is an absolute must-do.

Wow the most amazing trip on the Red Dragon ‘Ten out of Ten’ and this was down to the wonderful team and itinerary. Thank you so much to the guides Two, Tanya and Nico, the lady chefs (the food was delicious) and the rest of the team, the service you provided was exceptional. We would highly recommend Ko Samui Boat Charter for your trip to Ang Thong Marine Park, you are missing out if you don’t!

Lovely day out Got to see some buddha whales briefly. Facilities good, nice relaxing day. Good safety instructions, equipment and team watching you as you kayaked and snorkelled. Food and snacks were nice. Staff very pleasent and attentive. Nice long relaxing day.
