The handcrafted cabin — yours alone on a weekend private charter.

A private boat charter is the most exclusive way to see Koh Samui: no crowds, no fixed itinerary, just your group, a traditional Thai teak cruiser, and a crew whose only job that day is you. Endless Summer runs private charters on Saturdays and Sundays, by request only — every itinerary is designed around your day, which is why pricing is on request rather than a flat rate.

What does a charter day look like? That's up to you. This is island hopping on your own terms: cruise pristine coastline and drop anchor at secluded beaches, snorkel over vibrant reefs, visit nearby islands like Koh Tan and Koh Madsum (Pig Island), or simply find calm, uncrowded water and stay there. The boat carries up to 15 guests and combines authentic wooden-boat charm with proper comfort — spacious lounging areas, shade, and a dinghy for private beach transfers.

Charters can include chef menus prepared on board, a dedicated crew, and snorkeling gear for every guest. Celebrations are a speciality: birthdays, proposals, anniversaries — tell the crew what the day is for and they'll shape it around the moment.

Booking works conversationally. Message the crew on WhatsApp with your date, group size and what you have in mind; they'll come back with a proposed route and price. Weekend dates go first, especially in high season, so ask early.

If a full charter is more than you need, the shared Half-Day Thai Teak Cruiser trip (฿2,900 per adult) and Sunset Cruise (฿2,500 per adult) run Monday to Friday with free island-wide hotel pickup — same boat, same crew, easier price.
