This half-day Phuket catamaran trip combines an afternoon at Coral Island (Koh Hey) with a sunset cruise past Promthep Cape. It’s a relaxed way to spend an afternoon on the water: snorkelling and beach time, then dinner on board as the sun goes down. It suits couples, families and friends who want a catamaran experience in Phuket without a full-day trip.
