On Board Water Sports Equipment
Carried on board Shangani, you will find the following sports and leisure equipment to keep you and the kids occupied if soaking up the sun and relaxing is not enough on your yacht cruise through the waters of Phuket.
Kayaks – Fun around the boat, or explore the many βhongsβ (open caves) in Phang Nga Bay. Or paddle over from the yacht to a deserted white sand beach on one of the islands, where your only company will be hermit crabs and monkeys.
SUPs – Stand Up Paddleboards are provided, a cross between surfing and canoeing. These boards are another great way to explore the coastline and are great exercise too!
Snorkelling – Snorkelling equipment is provided free of charge and is the best way to enjoy the corals and aquatic life teeming below the hull. Crystal clear waters mean great visibility, and the hours will pass without you realising as you encounter the underwater world of Thailand.Β
Scuba Diving – Generally, we do not do scuba diving on Day charters. We have an affiliation with a really good Divemaster/instructor who would be at your expense if you needed him. The Similan Islands, 60 miles northeast of Phuket, are listed amongst the top seven dive spots in the world.
Fishing – Fishing tackle provided. You can fish from the yacht or the small dinghy. Deep-sea fishing from the stern of the yacht while cruising is great fun, and you will easily catch tuna, barracuda, and many other fish. Or you can watch the crew catching your supper!
Swimming – There is a large stern swim platform, which can be lowered to water level. Swimming in such crystal clear water is a wonderful experience.
Underwater Photography – There is an underwater camera on board; no film is provided, so pop a 35 mm roll in your bag if you wish to use it.

What our clients say about us
EXCELLENT Based on 1089 reviews Posted on Pamela CVerified A wonderful day on the high seas! Our group of 10 friends spent a wonderful day on 43ft Leopard Catamaran sailing to Phi Phi Island.Lunch was amazing with a wonderful selection with plenty of drinks available throughout the day.We elected snorkelling rather than slides etc and plenty of time was provided to enjoy the sea either swimming or snorkelling after some brief stops at some wonderful sights.Richard provides a comfortable boat and amazing Captain of the vessel and crew who go above and beyond to ensure your every need is catered to.Posted on Jessica CVerified Once in a lifetime vacation We were visiting Phuket for a vacation with our team from work and this was a once in a lifetime experience. The team took amazing care of us including a safe and smooth boat ride including an amazing meal, comfortable and clean accommodations; and fun toys including a slide, kayak, snorkeling gear, paddle board, and inflatable pool. They took us to a beautiful and safe location. We had the best time! Thank you!!!Posted on Hadi MVerified Just amazingβ₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈ β¨ A Dream on the Water β An Unforgettable Experience β¨I honestly donβt know where to begin, because this was more than just a boat trip β it was a dream come true.From the very first moment, when Richard and his wife welcomed us alongside the entire crew, we felt like family. Each person was introduced with such warmth, and from that point on we knew we were in for something extraordinary.The captain had an incredible energy β calm, confident, and passionate about making our journey unforgettable. The chef prepared food unlike anything Iβve ever tasted before, pure magic on the sea. Another crew member seemed to be everywhere at once, anticipating our needs before we even asked. And the way he cared for our 4-year-old son β patient, playful, almost like a devoted pΓ¦dagog β touched us deeply. It meant that we could relax fully, knowing our little one was safe and happy, even during swimming time.This wasnβt just a trip. It was an experience of privacy, luxury, and togetherness β something that made us feel, just for a moment, like professional athletes or stars with their families, enjoying the very best life has to offer.When we arrived at the hidden corners of Phi Phi Island, time seemed to stop. The beauty, the stillness, the feeling of being held by the oceanβ¦ my whole body was vibrating with happiness. I looked at my wife and children and thought: this is a memory we will carry forever.Itβs rare in life to have moments where everything aligns perfectly β the people, the place, the feeling. This was one of those rare, precious moments. And for that, we β from my family, the Marcher family β are endlessly grateful.We cannot wait to return. πβ€οΈPosted on Andrew LVerified Amazing trip! One of the very best days ever Great tour to James Bond Island and other great spots with lots of sea toys to keep the kids (and adults!) entertained.We were treated like royalty on this premium cruise and from Richard (the owner) to all the staff on the boat), we couldn't have asked for more.In terms of why we rated the day out so highly:- great communication all the way through with Nidnoi being responsive throughout and always providing clear and unambiguous responses)- pick up from hotel was seamless- the owner came and welcomed us personally and gave a great, warm briefing- nothing was too much trouble for the staff throughout the day and the drinks and food just kept on coming- the slide off the roof of the boat was great fun and a real hit with the kids- the floating spa was amazing to chill in- the paddle boards and other toys were all really good fun- the cave tour (additional cost to the paddlers) was fab- Arriving on James Bond Island on a little speed boat was great fun and gave an insight on how different some of the other cruises we might have been had we not signed up for this premium tour.We will definitely come back and do it all again. Tips are discretionary, but we decided to give generously to reciprocate for all the amazing service we received throughout the day.Posted on Nasrallah HVerified A beautiful experience. I mean honestly just an amazing experience really.We went to phang nga on the 4th of july.We boarded the boat and the super friendly owner Richard introduced us to the staff and explained,he is truly an amazing and genuine person.We set sail and we explored phang nga and after it we played on multiple inflatables.The crew was the most professional and the kindest with us.Shout out to our captain Ron he was amazing.The food was also incredible and tasty.A beautiful day with magnificent weather well spent.And again thanks to Richard and the crew!Posted on Navigate550118Verified The best private yacht experience ever! We were a group of 14 friends celebrating a milestone birthday and the private yacht experience on Shibuli was truly exceptional! The boat charter exceeded our expectations in every way. Meeting Richard, the owner, was a pleasure. His passion for providing an exceptional experience shone through in every detail. His team's professionalism and warm hospitality made us feel like family. Even better with Richard greeting us in our native language Shona and playing Zimbabwean music π€The food was incredible, and the service from Richard and his team at Tiger Marine was top-notch.
