Khai Islands by Private Charter from Phuket

The three Khai islands, Khai Nok, Khai Nai and Khai Nui, sit between Phuket and the Yao islands in water so shallow and clear you can see the sandy bottom from the boat. They are the closest island group to Boat Lagoon Marina, making them a natural first or last stop on any charter route.

The beaches are tiny but perfect: white powder sand meeting warm, calm water that barely reaches your waist for the first twenty metres. Snorkelling is easy and rewarding, with damselfish, parrotfish and clownfish living in the rocks a few strokes from shore.

Families love the Khai Islands because the shallow water is safe for children, the beaches are easy to walk, and the whole trip can be done as a half-day charter with time left for a sunset cruise on the way home.
