An 8-hour party yacht out of Pattaya: island swim stops with paddleboards and kayaks, a live DJ, then a buffet dinner anchored for sunset. From around ฿3,200 (from $88.67 on GetYourGuide), hotel transfers included. It rates 4.1★ — good fun if you come for the party, less so if you expected a serene sunset sail.

Frequently asked questions
Is this actually a party boat or a sunset cruise?
A party boat that ends at sunset. There is a live DJ, music most of the day and a social deck scene. Reviews average 4.1 — lower marks mostly come from guests who expected a tranquil sunset sail. Know which trip you are booking and you will have a good time.
Which islands does it visit?
The operator lists Koh Kram, Koh Yao Noi and Koh Ling — quieter spots south of the main Koh Larn run. Exact stops shift with sea conditions and season, which is normal for Pattaya boat trips; treat the itinerary as “two or three swim stops” rather than a fixed map.
Is alcohol included?
No — soft drinks and water are included, and there is a paid bar on board. Bring cash. Some groups negotiate drink packages when booking; ask before you assume.
Can I join solo or does it need a group?
Join-in tickets are sold individually, and the boat fills with mixed groups — it is one of the easier places in Pattaya to meet other travellers. Solo partiers are common; solo peace-seekers should look elsewhere.
What happens in bad weather?
The cruise runs in light rain — much of the boat is covered — but rough seas can change stops or cancel the trip, in which case platforms refund or rebook. The May–October monsoon brings afternoon squalls; November to February is the safest bet for a clean sunset.
