Why book through Legitour instead of Klook or kohsamui.tours?

Online aggregators add 30–50% to the captain's price. Legitour just connects you directly to the named captain. Same boat, same lunch, same kayaks — typically half the platform price. We don't sit in the middle.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

No. You pay the captain on the day of the tour, in Thai baht cash or bank transfer. No card and no deposit required.

Is it safe to pay the captain in cash on the day?

Yes. The captains are people Albert has worked with for one to three years. We confirm captain, boat and pier on WhatsApp before the day. If anything is wrong on arrival, you don't pay.

Can I book multiple tours at once?

Yes. The basket on legitour.com lets you add several tours and send one WhatsApp message with all of them.

What languages do you speak?

English, Russian, Hebrew, Chinese, and Arabic. We reply in whichever you write in. Russian is the founder's native language.

How far in advance should I book?

24–48 hours is typical. Some catamarans book a week ahead in high season (December–March). Sunset slots fill faster than morning slots.

Do you operate year-round?

Yes. Koh Samui's low season (October–November) has rougher seas — we still run trips on sheltered catamaran routes, but Ang Thong day-trips can be cancelled by the marine park rangers in poor weather. We refund or reschedule.

How much is a private boat charter on Koh Samui?

Private speedboat charters from ฿19,500 (up to 6 guests). The Lagoon 52 catamaran : ฿28,000 for a full day, ฿17,000 half day, ฿13,000 for a 2.5-hour sunset charter — all up to 12 guests.

Koh Samui island, Thailand. Operating piers: Bophut, Chaweng, Lamai, Maenam, Lipa Noi. We cover Ang Thong, Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, Koh Madsum (Pig Island) and Koh Som.

Are you on TripAdvisor or Klook?

We are listed on Google Business Profile as Legitour Koh Samui. We do not list on commission platforms because that contradicts the direct-booking model — but we welcome verification calls and references from past guests.
