🚤 Boat charter with a captain: the sea just for your group

👋 Meet your captain. The captain greets you at the pier, and from that moment the 27-foot boat is yours alone. No other travelers and no shared schedule: just your group and the open sea off Phu Quoc.

🗺 Your route. Want to reach the islands, a quiet bay or a spot where the fish are biting? Plan the route with your captain. They know places big boats can't reach and will shape the day around you.

🌊 Out to sea. The boat picks up speed easily, with a white wake behind you on turquoise water and green islands of southern Phu Quoc ahead. Wind, sun and spray: that's the real feeling of freedom.

🤿 Swimming and snorkelling. Stop at an island and jump into clear water, swim with a mask over the reefs, then rinse off with fresh water on board.

🎣 Fishing with a fish finder. The boat has a fish finder, so your captain can find fishing spots and show you how. Excitement guaranteed, even if you're holding a rod for the first time.

🔥 Lunch and barbecue. The day charter includes lunch on board. If you're lucky with your catch, the fresh fish can be cooked on the barbecue right at sea (we'll arrange the details in advance).

⏱ Day: 08:00–14:00, evening: 14:45–21:45. In the evening you can ask your captain for a sunset route. We'll confirm the details for your date.

Tips for boat rental in Phu Quoc

🗺 Plan your route

🗺 Plan your route

Tell the captain what matters most, islands, fishing or snorkeling, and he will plan the day around you.

🌊 Start early

🌊 Start early

Mornings are usually calmer, and the water is clearer, making it the best time for snorkeling and photos.

🎣 Fishing with a fish finder

🎣 Fishing with a fish finder

If you want to fish, let us know in advance. The captain will bring rods and bait and find the spot with the fish finder.

💊 Seasickness

💊 Seasickness

The boat is smaller than a catamaran and feels the waves more, so seasickness tablets are a good idea.

☀️ Sun and water

☀️ Sun and water

Pack sunscreen, hats and drinking water, as there is little shade on the boat.

I recommend Ksenia. We booked a speedboat for a private trip to the southern islands. Everything was well organised, and Ksenia replies very quickly. The boat was good and clean, with water and an ice box on board to keep our wine and prosecco cold. The crew were polite. Best of all, they took us to the islands before the crowds arrived, so we had time for lots of photos. Once the big group tours arrive, that's impossible. We brought our own drone and flew it a lot. We also used the free drone filming included in the price, and they sent us the finished photos straight away via AirDrop. Thank you, Ksenia, for organising such a wonderful island trip! 🙏🏼

Hi Ksenia, we were thrilled with the tour and loved everything. We especially liked the guide, a wonderful man. We were also very happy that you included the Coconut Prison. We really wanted to go there, and one girl in our group was keen on it. It was great that everyone could try things, not just listen to explanations. They let us taste the fish sauce and some kind of alcohol too. We're really happy with you. We're booking another tour with you, and we also took a yacht, but the boat with you is on the 23rd. So far everything is great. Thanks also to Mikhail, who helped us a lot. We've been riding everywhere on his pass for several days now.

5 Islands Tour: at the second stop, you're offered photo and video shooting, which is included in the price. On site you can rent flowing dresses, as the photos are taken on swings. You can bring your own to save time changing. The beaches were clean, there were no waves, and there were no extra stops at shops pushing things to buy. The guides were English-speaking, so it was easy to ask questions. Toilets were sometimes paid, 10 dong, and showers 20 dong, so bring small change. Lunch was filling and Vietnamese.

Safari + Star Beach: at the zoo we added a buggy for an extra 100 dong per person. It saved us walking in the heat and helped us see everything. The bird show was excellent, the animal areas were very interesting, the park is nicely designed and has lots of shade. Lunch was very tasty. You can also try very fresh oysters and sea urchins there, 50–60 dong each. I'd suggest eating them there, as it's unclear elsewhere when they were caught. The road to Star Beach is quite rough, so I don't recommend driving yourself. There are road repairs, and riding a bike in the dark needs superhuman driving skills. The guides were Maria and Ahn. Maria knows a lot about life in Vietnam. Ahn is Vietnamese and studied in Ufa. They're both great to talk to: they share local traditions, tell you where to shop and give lots of useful information.
