Exceptional Day Out on Lucus 6
We had a wonderful day out on Lucus 6, after friends invited us to join them on a private snorkelling and sunset trip. From the moment we arrived at the marina and were greeted by one of the crew from Five Star Marine, it was patently obvious that this was a happy, friendly and professional team who love what they do!
We were briefed by owner Shaun, who described exactly where we’d be going, what we might be likely to see and do, and introduced us to our guides K.Phi Phi and K. Don. These two were outstanding - attentive, energetic, and always smiling!
We visited two beautiful snorkelling spots, and a sandy spit for sunset. Personally, I had no wish to change the itinerary provided in any way because I knew that such an experienced team would obviously know exactly when and where to go to each spot in order to glean maximum enjoyment for their guests when it came to tides, sun position, possible wildlife sightings and the like. However, one of our friends felt that the first spot was a bit busy with boats, and when this was put to the team, they were easy-going and flexible.
When we returned to the marina we were warmly greeted by Shaun and his team, and the friendly experience continued right up until they waved us off. This is a company that can be truly proud of its dedicated, passionate and friendly team, and I highly recommend it.

Wonderful experience, Highly recommend!
Had a wonderful experience with 5 Star Marine. The boat was very clean and the crews were very professional. Guide Alex (Lek) is very knowledgeable in navigating the area pointing out great dive spots and quite beaches. Trip is highly customizable which was perfect for us. Highly recommend 5 Star Marine to anyone visiting Phuket island

Five Star Service from Five Star Marine.
Traveling with a toddler and little kids, I really hesitated to put them on a boat all day. Five Star Marine was the perfect choice for our family. Safety was the biggest priority in everything from driving the boat, to checking the kids life jackets before they got in the water, to telling us where it was safe to swim and where it wasn't. My mind was completely at ease. Guide Pei even put himself on jellyfish watch after we saw one large one float by and my kids hestitated to continue snorkeling.
Comfort was also a big priority. The boat was amazingly smooth and it was so convenient having a bathroom and a hose to rinse sandy feet on board. We had lunch catered and all loved our food. The boat was so comfortable that two kids even napped on board.
Guide Pei and the crew brought us to all of the perfect spots at the perfect times, including finding shady snorkeling when the sun was at its peak. We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Five Star Marine for the day!

Great day on the water. Highly recommend.
Great trip. 5 out of 5.
The owner Shaun was responsive, professional, and patient with all my questions. He was helpful and flexible in making the arrangements.
The boat itself was excellent: stable at high speed, roomy, with plenty of inside shade and adequate outdoor seating in the bow. The three-man crew - captain, engineer, and guide - were professional and very friendly.
The trip itself was perfect. We (a group of 10) visited several good snorkeling sites and a several postcard-perfect beaches. The expertise and flexibility of the crew was crucial here: not only did they knew good spots, they even recommended spots that are sometimes inaccessible due to wind or weather but, by good luck, happened to be accessible on the day we went out.
Another point to the crew: twice, we managed to "lose" a snorkel that sunk to the bottom. In both cases, the crew were great sports about it and simply dove down to retrieve.
The cherry on top was a chance to view dolphins, cavorting nearby and even swimming up alongside the boat.
Bottom line: the trip we took with 5 Star Marine was exactly what you want from a day out on the water: easy organization, top-notch facilities, plenty of swimming and snorkeling in gorgeous tropical waters. 5 stars, indeed. Highly recommended.
