Question
Where can you go boating in Phuket?
Insider's Response
Boats can be found at many beaches, such as Bang Tao, Rawai, Patong, or Freedom Beach. They dock near the shore and offer trips to nearby beaches. This can be quite convenient, especially since some beaches (like Freedom Beach) are accessible only via steep and not-so-easy trails. In such cases, boats act as a kind of “water taxi.”
For longer trips, it’s better to rent a yacht or speedboat. This way, you can enjoy the open sea and plan a personalized excursion. The cost of such a service is significantly higher, but so is the level of enjoyment. You can find options in the “Yacht Rental” section.
