About this tour
The Ombre Yacht is a luxury sailing catamaran that runs a full-day cruise out of Phuket. The day combines two island stops with open sun decks, deck water sports and a sit-down meal service, so it works as much for lounging as it does for swimming. You board near Chalong, call at two islands, and end with the sunset off Promthep Cape. Trip Dust arranges your hotel pickup, the ticketing and the timing, and confirms the details before you travel.
Because it runs the whole day, you get unhurried beach time, water activities and two buffet meals served on board, so there is no need to organise lunch yourself. The day runs roughly as follows:
- Banana Beach (Coral Island / Koh Hae) — a calmer beach for swimming in clear water and relaxing on the sand, where buffet lunch is served.
- Racha Island (Koh Raya) — known for some of the clearest water around Phuket, this stop is given over to snorkelling, paddleboarding and the floats.
- On board the catamaran — a deck water slide, a live DJ, a welcome drink and soft drinks, shaded and open seating, and dinner served while you sail.
- Promthep Cape sunset — the cruise closes with the golden-hour view off Phuket's best-known sunset headland before the return to the pier.
The cruise suits couples, friends and families after an easy day on the water with meals included. It usually sails Friday to Sunday, and the open sea can get breezy, so it is not advised for expectant mothers, guests over 70, or anyone with heart or back trouble. The on-board water sports are recommended from age 4; children under 3 generally travel free. We confirm the current sailing days and your exact pickup time over WhatsApp.

Quick tips for your trip
- Best time to go: The cruise sails year-round, though the November-to-April dry season brings the calmest sea and the clearest water for snorkelling. Sailings are usually Friday to Sunday; we confirm the days available for your dates on WhatsApp.
- What to wear and bring: Wear swimwear under light, comfortable clothes, and pack sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. Towels are provided on board, but bring a dry change of clothes for the journey home after sunset.
- Photography: The strongest light comes during golden hour at Promthep Cape towards the end of the day. Bring a waterproof pouch or phone case for the snorkelling and water-slide sections at Racha Island.
- Sea comfort: If you are prone to seasickness, take a tablet about an hour before boarding and keep lunch light. Because the open sea can get breezy, the cruise is not advised for pregnant women, guests over 70, or anyone with heart or back problems.
- How long it takes: Set aside the full day. Hotel pickup runs roughly 08:30 to 10:20, boarding is around 11:00, and you return to Chalong Pier in the early evening after sunset, for a total of about 8 to 9 hours.

Frequently asked questions
-
Are vegetarian or Indian meals served on board?
Lunch and dinner are both buffets, and vegetarian dishes are included in the spread. For pure-veg or Jain meals, send us a WhatsApp message before booking and we will check what the operator can arrange for your group.
-
Can young children and older parents join this cruise?
The catamaran is spacious and has shaded seating, which makes the day comfortable for most families. The water sports (snorkelling, paddleboard and slide) are recommended from age 4, and infants under 3 usually travel free. The open-sea sailing itself is not advised for guests over 70, pregnant women, or anyone with heart or back trouble.
-
Which pier does the catamaran leave from, and does the price cover transfers?
Round-trip hotel transfer within the Phuket area is included in the price. Pickup is usually between 08:30 and 10:20, depending on your hotel, and the yacht departs from the Chalong Pier area in southern Phuket. Once we have your hotel, we confirm the exact pickup time on WhatsApp.
-
I cannot swim. Is the cruise still worth it for me?
Yes. Life jackets are provided for swimming and snorkelling, and much of the day is spent relaxing on the decks, eating and taking in the views. The beaches, the DJ and the sunset are all easy to enjoy without going far into the water.
-
How many islands are on the route, and what is covered in the price?
The route calls at Banana Beach on Coral Island (Koh Hae) and at Racha Island (Koh Raya), then passes Promthep Cape for the sunset. The price covers round-trip hotel transfer, a welcome drink, soft drinks, buffet lunch and dinner, fruit and snacks, snorkelling gear, paddleboards, the water slide, life jackets and travel insurance.
