Australian sea captain with over 20 years on the Andaman Sea, still personally leading tours and welcoming guests onboard.
Australian-born and a former Sea Scout, Mark moved to Phuket more than 20 years ago chasing a life on the water.
The founding: Founded Phuket Sail Tours in 2004 after seeing Phuket’s island tours become increasingly overcrowded and impersonal.
The philosophy: Small groups, carefully timed departures, and hidden corners of the islands that larger operators often miss.
Today: Still captains tours regularly today, alongside a close-knit local team that shares the same calm, guest-first philosophy.
Friendly visual treatment — not aggressive. Simple checkmarks and crosses.
Not all Phuket island tours are created equal. Here’s how our small-group approach compares to the typical experience.
Spacious, stable, and comfortable — ideal for larger groups, families, and relaxed full-day experiences.
Fast, comfortable, and flexible — perfect for exploring multiple islands at your own pace.
Sustainability isn’t a marketing term for us — it’s about protecting the place we call home.
We removed single-use plastics from our boats in 2018.
Every guest receives a reef-safe snorkeling briefing before entering the water.
We leave every beach cleaner than we found it whenever possible.
Our tours help support local fishing communities and family-run businesses in Phang Nga Bay.
Exceptional, uncrowded island day trips from Phuket. Family-owned and operated since 2004.
