This is Koh Samui's golden hour aboard the Endless Summer, a handcrafted traditional Thai teak trawler sailing from Petcharat Marina past Fisherman's Village, the Chaweng coastline and Bang Por bay to a sunset anchorage in the calm waters off Lipa Noi. Unlike the island's crowded party boats, we cap every sailing at 15 guests, so you swim straight off the boat, drift on floating bean bags, and watch the sun melt into the Gulf while the chef serves light evening bites on the teak deck. The soundtrack is yours — play your own playlist through the on-board Bluetooth system. With free island-wide hotel pickup and a relaxed, unhurried pace, it's ideal for couples, families with children aged 4+, and small groups of friends who want the island's best sunset without the crowds.
Free hotel pickup is included island-wide by air-conditioned van. Your pickup window opens up to 90 minutes before departure depending on where you're staying — please message us on whatsapp with your hotel name and we'll confirm a time for the pickup, please be ready in your hotel lobby about 10 minutes before that, and keep your phone reachable so the driver can find you. Bring your passport, or a photo of the photo page on your phone, for the marine department passenger manifest. If you'd prefer to make your own way, you're welcome to meet us at the marina instead.
Please arrive at least 30 minutes before the departure time at the main entrance of Petcherat Marina. Our crew will be waiting for you there.
A relaxed cruise-past of Koh Samui's east coast — the long sweep of Chaweng and the charming old teak shophouses of Fisherman's Village slide by from the deck. A passing view, no landing — cameras out for the shoreline.
We continue along the quieter north-western shore through the Bang Por area, the water flattening out as we leave the busier coast behind. Ang Thong Marine Park sits on the far horizon — a distant silhouette against the afternoon light.
We settle in the open water off Lipa Noi for the main event. Swim straight off the boat, stretch out on the sun deck, or drift on the floating bean bags as the sun melts into the Gulf of Thailand. Chef's light evening bites and chilled drinks are served on deck through golden hour.
As dusk settles we cruise back to the marina, arriving around 19:30–20:00. On clear evenings you can sometimes catch beach fire shows glowing in the distance along the shore — an occasional, magical send-off to the day.
