Day 1 Arrive Phuket (D)
Arrive Phuket by noon, to meet your skipper and the group. In the afternoon we will sail towards Koh Naka Yai. You can choose to go on a dinghy exploration of the island, or simply sun tan on the deck and go for an evening swim.

Day 2 Koh Ping Kan (B,L)
We leave Naka Yai in the morning, and sail on to Koh Pan Yi, visiting one of the last 'Sea Gipsy Villages', spending the early afternoon ashore exploring the village. In the afternoon we depart towards Koh Ping Kan, where we spend the night.

Day 3 Koh Yao Noi Island/Ao Muang Bay (B,L,D)
We raise anchor in the morning, and sail towards Chong Koh Yao, the passage between the Yao islands, arriving to the tiny Koh Nok island. Here we find a stunning beach with crystal clear water for a swim and lunch break. A short afternoon sail will then bring us to Ao Muang Bay, situated in the North of Koh Yao Noi, where we spend the night.

Day 4 Koh Phi Phi/Maya Bay (B, L,D)
The morning sail guides us towards Koh Phi Phi, one of the most stunning island groups in Thailand. Along the way we'll have a short stop over on Monkey Bay -get your bananas ready!- and then we'll have a longer lunch break at Ton Sai Bay for swimming, shopping, and exploring. In the late afternoon we set sail again towards Phi Phi Le where we visit Maya Bay, or Leonardo's Paradise, where 'The Beach' was filmed.

Day 5 Bay Nai Harn (B,L)
Cruising over the large Phang Nga Bay towards Cape Phromtep will take us to the southernmost tip of Phuket peninsula. We'll anchor in the famous Bay Nai Harn, right under the best spot in Thailand for watching the stunning sunset, and where you will have multiple choices of beach activities and fabulous restaurants for dinner. Land excursions to famous places like Patong or Phuket towns are possible.

Day 6 Koh Yao Yai (B,L,D)
A smooth, longer sail brings us to the tiny island of Khai Nai for excellent swimming and snorkelling off a clear sandy beach. In the afternoon, we will approach Ao Labu Bay on Koh Yao Yai, surrounded by mangroves. Have a delicious meal at the island restaurant, and if you so desire, there are options such as canoeing or biking on the lush island.

Day 7 Depart Phuket (B)
Leave Koh Yao Yai early in the morning, to head back to Phuket where trip ends upon arrival.
