If you want to see James Bond Island in comfort rather than bouncing across the bay in a speedboat, this luxury catamaran day trip is the one to choose. The Seanery is a large, two-deck catamaran with cushioned lounging areas that cruises slowly through Phang Nga Bay, with lunch on board, sea-cave kayaking, a stop at James Bond Island and dinner as the sun goes down.
Updated October 2026 by the Phuket Dream Company team (TAT licensed).

The order of stops can change with tides and weather.
Operating days and booking ahead
The cruise runs six days a week – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (no departures on Thursday). It is one of the most popular trips we sell and is often fully booked weeks ahead in the high season (November to April), so book as early as you can, especially if you want a private cabana or sofa bed.
Prices for the current season and the new season starting 1 November 2026 are both shown in the price tables below.
What to bring
- Swimwear, towel and a change of clothes
- Reef-safe sunscreen, hat and sunglasses – the upper deck is open

Frequently asked questions
What is included?
The welcome drink, buffet lunch, sunset dinner, kayaking, the longtail transfer at James Bond Island and the return hotel transfer are part of the trip. The team will confirm the full list of inclusions, such as the national park fee and drinks, when you book.
Is this tour suitable for children?
Yes, it is one of the gentler ways to see Phang Nga Bay. Child prices apply to ages 4–11. It is a long day, so bring something to keep young children entertained.

They are reserved lounging areas on the upper deck for 2–3 guests from the same party. The cabana is at the front of the boat; the sofa bed is at the back.
Can pregnant travellers join?
Please ask the team before booking. Tours that include kayaking and boat transfers are often not recommended during pregnancy.
Is alcohol available on board?
Alcohol policy can vary – please ask the team when you book rather than bringing your own.
