About Koh Phangan
Most people know Koh Phangan as the home of the Full Moon Party — but this Gulf island hides a dramatically different face accessible only to those who arrive by private boat. The northern shore is a completely different world from the party beaches: secluded bays like Bottle Beach (Haad Khuat) and Haad Khom are only reachable by sea, and their pristine waters and jungle-draped hillsides are rivaled by few places in Thailand. A private charter from Koh Samui to Phangan's hidden north opens up authentic, unhurried Thailand that most visitors simply never encounter.

For intimate groups of 4–8 guests, a motor yacht like the Princess 42 or a sailing catamaran such as the Lagoon 42 offers exceptional value.
