Koh Tao is one of the world's top scuba diving destinations. Explore its legendary dive sites — Sail Rock, Chumphon Pinnacle, and Southwest Pinnacle — from the comfort of a private charter yacht.
Koh Tao translates as "Turtle Island" — and for good reason. The waters surrounding this small Gulf island are among the most biodiversity-rich in Thailand. Chartering a private yacht to Koh Tao from Koh Samui gives you flexibility to reach the outer dive sites at dawn, before the dive boats arrive, and to move between sites at your own pace.
