Arrive at Ocean Marina Yacht Club in Na Jomtien by about 8:00 AM for check-in, the safety briefing, and boarding. From central Pattaya, allow 25–40 minutes by private van or taxi depending on traffic; a group transfer is usually easier than arranging several cars, and the marina has paid parking. Before leaving the pier, confirm the yacht’s licensed route, fuel inclusion, catering setup, swimming stops, and the exact arrangement for five jet skis and kayaks. Ask specifically where jet skis may be operated, as they are commonly restricted close to islands and beaches, and verify insurance, operator licensing, deposits, and weather-cancellation terms.
Depart around 9:00 AM on the private yacht toward Koh Phai (Bamboo Island). The cruise generally takes 6–8 hours overall and is best kept relaxed: music, swimming, snorkeling, and time on deck rather than trying to pack in too many stops. Around late morning, anchor only in an area approved by the captain, then use the kayaks for a quiet paddle and swim. The island is undeveloped, so bring reef-safe sunscreen, dry bags, hats, and any medication you need; do not expect shops, toilets, or reliable phone service offshore.
Plan the onboard Thai seafood lunch for around 12:30 PM, either near Koh Phai or later around Koh Lan. A sensible catered budget is roughly ฿500–฿1,500 per person for food and soft drinks, rising with premium seafood, alcohol, ice, and mixers. Keep the deck clear around the serving area and confirm in advance whether the crew supplies plates, cutlery, refrigeration, and rubbish collection. After lunch, cruise to Koh Lan for approximately 1.5–2 hours of beach time and a supervised jet-ski session. Complete a condition check and photograph each jet ski before riding; confirm the five machines are available under one booking, understand the deposit and damage policy, and use only the operating zone designated by the local provider. Return to Ocean Marina Yacht Club around 4:00–5:00 PM, allowing time to disembark, collect valuables, and check that all kayak and water-sports equipment has been returned before arranging your taxi or private van into Pattaya.
