Highly recommend 5 Star Marine! - My friends and I had a great experience! We loved that it was a private tour. Our guide Yaya and the whole crew were very kind and took great care of us! The snorkeling spots, islands, and ocean were amazing beautiful!

Brilliant Snorkelling and Beach Day Out - From the start, Shaun and the team were brilliant with communication, recommendations of tours that would suit our family (2 grandparents, 2 parents and 2 children ages 8 and 4) and provided detailed quotes and info. Throughout the lead up to the trip, the team ensured we were well informed. My son ended up falling ill, and the team allowed us to arrange a new date at pretty short notice to ensure we would have a great day. On the day, our guide, Beer, and his crew we AMAZING. My daughter ended up feeling seasick, so they reacted quickly, helped as much as possible and altered course to ensure she felt better and had a great day. The snorkelling was awesome and our family were able to create some special memories together. I cant recommend 5 Star Marine enough - if we come to Phuket again, we will definitely be booking another day out with them.

5 stars for 5 Star Marine. - Tour was amazing and the crew were fantastic.
As a private tour this made our day. It meant we could spend as much or as little time at each spot as we wanted. Not tied to a timetable like other companies.
Price was also very good for the tour.
Highly recommend.

5* Service Experience from Five Star - Huge thanks for our wonderful trip yesterday. From the moment we were collected by our excellent driver we knew we were in good hands. Sandy and the team gave us a brilliant day on Lisa 9 and looked after us superbly well.
They were kind, courteous, friendly, knowledgeable and complete professionals in every way.
The snorkelling sites were fantastic and though we didn’t see dolphins we did see monkeys and were also treated to a master class in fruit preparation!
Your company absolutely deserves its name - Five Star ⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2 Fabulous days with 5 Star Marine - We were in Phuket for 2 days on a cruise. Background of us: Myself, my blind husband, and adult daughter. The ship tours were not at all appealing and typically had many many people in each group. After doing considerable research we found 5 Star Marine. We booked private because we wanted some control of the plan, but ultimately after discussing with our guide we went with their suggestions based on us telling them our likes and dislikes. I am writing one review for each day since each trip was very different. The first day focused on snorkeling and beach time. Communication prior to the trip was excellent and after getting off our ship tender we walked to the meeting place and were met by Joon who was holding a sign with my name on it. He immediately called the taxi who was minutes away and we rode to the marina on the other side of the peninsula in comfort while learning more about the area from Joon. When we arrived at the marina we reviewed the large map and confirmed where we were headed. We then boarded a VERY LARGE boat for the 3 of us, we had the guide (Joon) the boat pilot, and one additional helper. They did share that it would be bumpy as we left the harbor area, but it was not too bad. We arrived at the first island to find very clear water and amazing snorkeling. After all the time we wanted there, we went to an even quieter bay and very much enjoyed our snorkeling there too. As we toured to a beach spot they brought out fruit and drinks. The beach stop was great, and included hot food, and comfy chairs in the shade. We ordered some local food and had a very relaxing time. On the way back in to the Marina we stopped and tossed the remaining fruit to the monkeys. Many Thanks to Joon and the staff for a wonderful day!

Unmatched Customer Service and Attention to Detail! - From the moment we booked with 5 Star Marine, their customer service and attention to detail were simply outstanding. They kept us informed every step of the way and went above and beyond to accommodate all our needs and requirements.
Alex, our tour guide, was absolutely fantastic! He’s such a kind and patient person. He showed us the true beauty of the islands, including some hidden spots that were just breathtaking and completely uncrowded. Alex was incredibly patient, letting us take countless photos and even using his own camera to capture some amazing shots for us.
We booked 5 Star Marine to explore the islands off Phuket, and it was an adventure of a lifetime. We saw incredible marine life and swam in some of the most stunning places on earth. Snorkelling was a highlight, especially because my wife, who had never snorkelled before and isn’t the most confident swimmer, was swimming like a pro within minutes, thanks to Alex’s guidance. She loved it so much that I’ve promised we’ll do it again.
Towards the end of the day, we went canoeing around one of the James Bond Islands (I think it was island no.2). This was a special anniversary present for my wife, and the team made sure she felt truly special. They even surprised us with a cake and Champagne, which was the perfect ending to an unforgettable day.
Shaun and the team know how to make you feel like a VIP, and it started even before we hit the water! We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel in a private luxury minivan with a Bluetooth sound system and first-class reclining seats. It was pure comfort and luxury.
The entire team was amazing, from the booking staff to the admin team, transport staff, boat driver, and crew. A special shoutout to Shaun and Niki, who spent a lot of time ensuring everything went smoothly and exceeded our expectations.
I can’t recommend 5 Star Marine enough! Just go ahead and book with them—you won’t regret it! We’re already planning to return in the new year with our parents and in-laws to share this incredible experience with them. A huge thank you to everyone at 5 Star Marine—you truly are the best in the industry!

Engagement on the boat - Nook and the team were excellent. Having the flexibility of different options and timing was really great. Coral beach was a highlight. And watching the sunset from the boat is a must. A great way to get engaged!

Cannot miss this tour! - We booked a private boat tour with our tour guide Kris and he was very tentative to our trip.
Tour was on time, professional, unique, fun, great destination choices. Lunch, snack and drinks were good.
The whole family had an awesome time!
