💙MORE THAN A TOUR. A DAY TOGETHER.

Life gets busy.

Work. School. Phones. Emails. Meetings. Notifications.

Sometimes you just need a day where none of that matters.

A boat.
The ocean.
Your favourite people.
And nowhere else you need to be.

Explore. Swim. Laugh. Eat. Relax.

That’s what a private day with 5 Star Marine can be.

Not just another activity on your Phuket holiday.

A proper day together. 🌴

Our foundation, Living Waters Phuket, has been out helping deliver hot meals and dry food supplies to those in need. 💙

The relentless rain has left many people across the island needing support, and we’re doing what we can to help our local community through this difficult time.

When floods and landslides recently affected communities across Phuket, Living Waters Phuket reached out to the Red Cross and other local foundations to discuss how best to support those in need. Working with organisations involved in the relief efforts helped us understand the immediate needs of af...

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲? 🚤🏝️

That’s our Captain’s Choice Tour.

Your day starts with a conversation on the pier. Tell your guide what you’d love to see and do, and we’ll recommend options to suit your family and the conditions.

More swimming? Time to relax on a beach? A little exploring? Let’s plan it together.

There’s no set programme and no fixed timing at each stop. You have up to eight hours on board, with your guide and captain helping you make the most of the day.

Less planning. More exploring. A private adventure shaped around you.💙 

Message our team to ask about Captain’s Choice.

Torrential rain overnight brought flash flooding to parts of the island. Some floodwater is now receding, although conditions will vary by location.

Our charity, Living Waters Phuket, has been helping those affected by donating dry food supplies and freshly cooked hot meals. 💙

Tomorrow looks more promising, with rain expected to become less widespread, although heavy showers are still possible.

This is Phuket, and conditions can change quickly, so we’ll keep watching the radar and following local updates.

Take care, avoid flooded roads, and look out for those around you.

“Just book when you arrive.”

That advice can work—until the boat tour you really wanted is fully booked.

Sally waited until she reached Phuket. Her first choice was unavailable. So were her second, third and fourth choices. 

She still visited beautiful Phi Phi, but on a crowded shared tour rather than the private experience she had imagined.

Be like Bob. Book ahead.

Beautiful islands and comfortable boats are part of your day, but it’s our team who brings the experience together—and our amazing Operations Manager, Sunwa, plays a big part in that.

Sunwa prepares, manages, and follows up on your tour, working closely with our customer service team, captains, and guides to help everything run smoothly. Behind every departure are details to organise, questions to answer and a team to coordinate.

You’ll find her in our main customer service area, ready to greet you with that wonderful smile. Whether you’re joining us for your first adventure or returning for another day on the water, she helps you feel welcome from the moment you arrive ☺️🌴 

We’re so grateful for the care, energy, and dedication she brings to our team and our guests.

Next time you visit, say hello to Sunwa! 👋💙

A closer look at Phuket’s weather from the pier 🌦️🚤

Today, Shaun goes beyond the usual short daily weather update to explain what your phone’s weather app is showing, discuss the recent flash flooding, and share the outlook for sea conditions over the coming days.

As you’ll see in the video, it wasn’t raining at the pier when he filmed.

If those dramatic videos of people swimming through flooded streets have left you worried, here’s some context: the water in the areas discussed has since cleared. Those clips show a moment in time, so always check when and where they were filmed.

Watch Shaun’s full update for a clearer picture of the conditions and what to expect over the next few days. 🌴

𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐡𝐮𝐤𝐞𝐭: 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞! ☀️⛅🛥

At 5 Star Marine, we call October a 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡—the transition from low season, or wet season, towards high season and the drier months ahead.

The change doesn’t happen overnight! Beautiful blue skies can give way to passing showers, and wind and sea conditions can vary from day to day.

If you’re planning an island adventure, 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐲𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬. Our team shares what we’re seeing locally to help you plan, and we’ll guide you on the destinations and timings that suit the conditions.

A little flexibility goes a long way at this time of year. Let’s find the right day and the right route to create some wonderful memories on the water 💙🏝
