Meet Captain Mark

Australian sea captain with over 20 years on the Andaman Sea, still personally leading tours and welcoming guests onboard.

Captain Mark's Story

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.

"The best island experiences aren't the loudest ones, they're the ones that happen away from the crowds"

We take care of what feeds us

Sustainability isn’t a marketing term for us — it’s about protecting the place we call home.

No Single-Use Plastic

We removed single-use plastics from our boats in 2018.

Responsible snorkelling

Every guest receives a reef-safe snorkeling briefing before entering the water.

Beach clean-ups

We leave every beach cleaner than we found it whenever possible.
