Motor catamaran "Samui Buddy"

New Stylish Snow-White Luxury Boat for Large Groups

Introducing our new, stylish snow-white luxury boat designed to accommodate large groups of up to 40 people. Whether you're traveling with a big group, a small group of friends, or your family, this boat is perfect for those who value space and comfort.

The lower deck features a spacious living room, two bathrooms, two cabins with double beds, and two cabins with single beds (all equipped with fans). During overnight tours, comfortable accommodation is available for six people, with the possibility of accommodating more guests by spending the night on the deck under a protective awning. Additionally, there is a fully equipped kitchen where you can pre-order dishes from our menu. We highly recommend making a pre-order to ensure your preferences are met.

On the upper deck, you'll find ample space for relaxation, complete with tables where you can enjoy the refreshing sea breeze and admire the ocean views. The most comfortable area is the spacious catamaran nose, where you can relax on mats and take in the stunning scenery or try your hand at fishing. To keep you cool while enjoying the view from the "nose," we have installed a wide awning that provides shade throughout the entire cruise.

A professional team of 4-5 people will go above and beyond to make your cruise one of the most memorable experiences of your life!

Proposed Itineraries & Activities for Travelers

Angthong National Marine Park (Full Day Trip) Angthong, which means "Golden Bowl" in Thai, is a stunning National Marine Park situated in the Gulf of Thailand, between Koh Samui and the mainland. Established in November 1980, this protected area spans over 100 square kilometers of land and sea, offering a haven for diverse wildlife and marine creatures. With pristine beaches, majestic limestone cliffs, and breathtaking landscapes, Angthong National Marine Park is a must-visit destination.

Instead of traditional slow boats or speedboats, choose the unique and convenient option of Samui Buddy for a comfortable and speedy cruise to Angthong National Marine Park. This allows you to have more time to swim, snorkel, and explore the beauty of the 42-island archipelago without the crowds. Your Samui Buddy will ensure you have an unforgettable experience, returning during the beautiful sunset.

Scheduled trip: 10:30 AM - 6:30 PM (can be adjusted based on guest preference).

Southern Islands (Full Day or Half Day Trip) Embark on a full or half-day trip to the Southern Islands, including The Five Islands (Bird nests island), Koh Tan, Koh Madsum (Pigs Island), and Koh Rap. For a full-day trip, you'll visit all four destinations, while a half-day trip allows you to choose between The Five Islands, Koh Tan, Koh Madsum, or The Five Islands and Koh Rap. The Five Islands, known as Koh Si Koh Ha in Thai, are located southwest of Koh Samui.

These islands are home to thousands of birds that build their nests in the rocks, which are collected by gatherers risking their lives by climbing precarious bamboo ladders. The nests are highly valued and exported to Hong Kong and China for the popular bird's nest soup. Koh Tan is a small and untouched island renowned for its coral reefs and marine life, including giant clams and various fish species. Koh Madsum offers stunning white sandy beaches and the chance to encounter domesticated pigs, which both kids and adults find delightful. Koh Rap is an unspoiled island with a beautiful sandy beach where you can enjoy a barbecue using equipment available from a local bar.

Samui Buddy will ensure your day trip or afternoon trip concludes with a memorable cruise back during the enchanting sunset.

Scheduled trip:

  • Full day: 10:30 AM - 6:30 PM (can be adjusted based on guest preference).
