Luxury Private Motor Yacht Charter in Phang Nga Bay: Koh Phanak, Hong Island & James Bond Island
Cruise Phang Nga Bay aboard a Sealine SC35 to explore Koh Phanak’s caves, paddle Hong Island’s hongs, swim hidden beaches and visit James Bond Island. A private yacht lets you set the pace while experienced guides manage tides and access.
The Experience
Before You Go
Tide-dependent access
Certain caves and swimming coves are only reachable at specific tides—trust the guide’s timing and don’t attempt narrow passages alone.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The boat provides shade, but sun can be intense during the long cruising legs—use reef‑safe sunscreen to protect both you and marine life.
Secure valuables
Stow cameras and phones in waterproof cases or dry bags; spray and small waves are common when approaching hongs and beaches.
Plan for seasickness
Trips last 8–9 hours with open-water stretches—take prophylactics if you’re susceptible and sit mid‑boat for the smoothest ride.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Koh Phanak’s inland lagoons (accessible by canoe at low tide)
- •Small, unmarked beaches reachable only by short swims from the yacht
Wildlife

Conservation Note
Visitors are encouraged to use reef‑safe products, avoid touching coral and follow guides’ instructions to minimize disturbance to fragile hongs and nesting birds.
The bay’s karst islands were once submerged reef systems later uplifted; fishing and Malay‑Thai maritime traditions shaped local coastal communities.
