Four catamaran trips compared
| Tour | Duration | From | Rating and reviews | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phi Phi, Maya & Khai Luxury Power Catamaran Day Tour | Not stated | €66.92 | 4.2 / 131 | The deepest review record |
| Phi Phi, Maya and Khai Speed Catamaran Tour | 8 hours | €35.08 | 5.0 / 26 | Lowest price, lunch and snorkelling |
| Catamaran from Phuket to Phi Phi, Maya and Khai | 9 hours | €71.51 | 4.3 / 14 | A stated limit of 33 seats |

The safest recommendation is the reviewed one
The luxury power catamaran begins with a light breakfast and safety briefing in a Phuket lounge, then runs to Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Khai. Its listing does not state an hour count, which is a real weakness when planning dinner or childcare. Nevertheless, 146 reviews are substantially more evidence than 26, 14 or none. The €31.29 premium over the cheapest trip buys mainly the lounge start and the far larger review record; none of the listings names a different set of islands.

The budget trip is genuinely different
The eight-hour speed catamaran names snorkelling at Khai, Monkey Beach, swimming in Pileh Lagoon and lunch. Its perfect rating comes from only 31 reviews, so do not read it as stronger proof than the leader’s 131. It is still the rational choice when the named programme fits and saving €31.29 per person matters more than the longer track record.

Capacity or included transfer
The nine-hour catamaran is the only listing to state a 33-seat limit. It names Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, snorkelling and Khai beach, but only 14 travellers have reviewed it. The most expensive option includes hotel transfers and a buffet lunch, yet has no reviews. That can simplify the morning, though €86.84 is difficult to defend while the exact pickup coverage remains something to verify on the booking page.

None of these is a Khai-only excursion: every itinerary also sells Phi Phi and Maya Bay. If Khai beach time is your priority, the shorter speedboat comparison is more relevant.
Our recommendation
Choose the Phi Phi, Maya & Khai Luxury Power Catamaran Day Tour for its much larger review base. Choose the €34.47 speed catamaran instead when budget is decisive and its eight-hour programme is exactly what you want.
