Private catamaran days for incentive groups based at Conrad.
Most multi-day incentive programs at Conrad Koh Samui include at least one catamaran charter day. The cliff-top location of the property means transfer to the marina is part of the program logistics, but once on the water the day runs the same way it does for groups staying at any of the major hotels.

What works
Why we shortlist Conrad Koh Samui for this format.
Private pier access at Conrad
The property's private boat dock means participants can board directly from the resort instead of transferring to a public marina. Saves 30-45 minutes of ground time on each end of the day.
Photography backdrop
Departing the Conrad cliff at sunrise and returning at sunset both produce strong recap-reel footage. The property's setting works in your favor on the visual side of the program.
Halia coordinates the day end-to-end
Operator selection, route planning (Ang Thong vs. private island), F&B onboard, water sports coordination, and weather contingency planning all sit with us.
Trade-offs
What to know before locking the property.
Weather windows favor morning departures
Afternoon winds in the Gulf of Thailand can build to 15-20 knots in the dry season. Charters from Conrad's south-facing cliff are best scheduled with 8am or 9am departures and 4pm returns.
Vessel inventory is shared with other Samui hotels
Peak weeks (December through February) require 4-6 weeks lead time on multi-boat charters. Otherwise 2-3 weeks is enough.
Sample program
Sample full-day charter for an 80-pax incentive at Conrad
Group divides across 3 catamarans. Departure 8:30am from Conrad's pier with breakfast and welcome drinks onboard. Cruise north for 90 minutes to a sheltered anchorage. Boats raft up for swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and a long beach lunch. Optional excursion to a quiet beach for the more adventurous guests. Sunset return arrives back at Conrad's pier by 5:30pm. Full day on the water, no transfer downtime.
Sample format. Every program is built from scratch around the brief.
Common questions
What buyers ask about this combination.
- How far in advance should we book a catamaran day for a Conrad incentive program?
- For groups under 30 pax: 3-4 weeks in dry season, 1-2 weeks otherwise. For multi-boat charters (60+ pax): 6-8 weeks in dry season to lock the operator's full fleet.
- Can the group depart and return directly from Conrad's pier?
- Yes. Conrad's pier handles tender transfers cleanly. Larger catamarans anchor offshore and groups tender out — adds about 10 minutes per direction but avoids any ground transfer.
- What's included in the typical charter package?
- Vessel and crew, fuel, basic onboard catering (lunch + drinks), snorkel gear, water toys (paddleboards, kayaks). Premium catering, alcohol packages, and DJ/AV are added line items.
