About Phi Phi Islands
The Phi Phi Islands are among the most photographed destinations in all of Southeast Asia — and experiencing them by private charter transforms the visit entirely. While hundreds of day-trip passengers crowd the ferry queues, your private vessel departs Chalong Pier at 7:30am and arrives at Maya Bay before the masses. The silence of that lagoon in the early morning — limestone walls rising on three sides, turquoise water lapping at white sand — is something that only private charter guests regularly experience. Beyond the famous Maya Bay, the Phi Phi archipelago hides snorkeling sites, sea caves, and hidden coves accessible only to those with their own vessel.
