The experience
- Best for
- A private day of four to eight hours, when comfort on board matters
- Not for you if
- You only want a boat to yourselves at the lowest price, or you are travelling alone on a budget
Krabi has several ways to hire a longtail for yourselves, and this is the dearest of the ones we list. What you get in common with the others is the core of it: a private boat, your own timing, swimming and snorkelling around the islands. What is different is the boat itself, which the operator presents as a luxury longtail, and a longer range of options, from four hours up to eight.
Two practical points also set it apart. Pickup is available, which the booking pages of the plainer private tours from Ao Nang and Railay do not list, and the languages given are English and Thai. The islands are not named on the summary: the route is described as island hopping at your own pace, so ask or read the options before you book.
Read the rest
The question is whether the boat is worth the difference. If comfort on board matters to you, or you want a long day out without a crowd, it can be. If what you want is simply a boat to yourselves, the ordinary private longtail does that for less, and the sea, the tide and the other boats at each beach are the same for both.

Common questions
What makes it luxury?
The operator presents the boat as a luxury longtail. The summary does not detail what is on board, so read the description and options before you book rather than assume.
How does it compare with the other private longtails?
The private boats from Ao Nang and from Railay run four or six hours and cost less. This one goes up to eight hours, offers pickup and lists English and Thai. The islands and the sea are the same.
Which islands does it visit?
The summary does not name them. The day is described as island hopping at your own pace: check the options on the booking page.
