The Super-S Luxury Longtail Boat, built by Super Yacht Club Thailand, blends traditional longtail aesthetics with contemporary luxury. Its 45-ft length and 16-ft beam provide a spacious open deck for up to 20+ passengers, ideal for group tours to James Bond Island, Phi Phi, and Maya Bay. The boat features upgraded finishes, comfortable seating, and snorkeling gear, making it a standout in the luxury longtail category.
On the water, the Super-S cruises at 14–16 knots, offering a smooth and efficient ride for day excursions. Its traditional longtail hull provides good maneuverability in calm waters, though it may feel less stable in rougher conditions compared to modern displacement yachts. With a 300 L fuel capacity and 800 L water capacity, it is well-suited for 4–6 hour tours but not extended offshore voyages.
Comfort is prioritized through wide seating, shade options, and onboard amenities like refreshments and safety gear. While it lacks cabins, the open-deck design maximizes social space and scenic viewing. The boat’s recent renovation in July 2025 ensures modern reliability and comfort. For private charters in Phuket and Phi Phi, the Super-S offers exceptional value, combining luxury with the authentic charm of a Thai longtail boat.
