Premium catamaran days for the Four Seasons cohort.
Four Seasons participants notice service detail. The catamaran day should match the same tier as the rest of the program: top-of-fleet vessel, white-glove crew, full F&B from the property kitchen rather than standard operator catering, and zero logistical friction at boarding and disembarkation.

What works
Why we shortlist Four Seasons Koh Samui for this format.
In-villa pickup and pier transfer in private vans
Participants don't queue at the pier. Direct in-villa pickup, transfer in air-conditioned vans, board first via private gangway. The same way the property handles its in-house excursion guests.
Onboard chef option
For programs willing to upgrade, we coordinate an onboard chef from the Four Seasons kitchen. Removes the catering bottleneck completely. Adds USD 1,500-2,500 to the day.
Top-of-fleet vessels available
We work with the operators whose flagship boats sit a tier above the standard incentive fleet. Faster, more storage, better shade structures, premium head/galley.
Trade-offs
What to know before locking the property.
Premium tier costs notably more
Top-of-fleet catamaran days run 40-60% more than standard. Make sure participant tier and program goals justify the spend before locking it in.
Northwest tip means longer transfer to most piers
Bo Phut Pier is 35-40 minutes from Four Seasons. The savings from in-villa pickup are real but transfer time is structural.
Sample program
Sample full-day premium charter for a 20-pax Four Seasons cohort

Long lunch onboard, optional spa moment with onboard masseuse (booked separately). Sunset cocktails on the return cruise. Back at Four Seasons by 6:30pm.
Sample format. Every program is built from scratch around the brief.
Common questions
What buyers ask about this combination.
- How much premium do you pay for the in-villa pickup tier?
- Adding white-glove ground logistics, premium vessel, and onboard chef from Four Seasons typically takes a USD 4,500 standard day to USD 9,500-12,000 for the full premium package. For senior cohorts the marginal cost is justified.
- Can we charter directly through Four Seasons or do we go through Halia?
- Both routes work. Direct booking through Four Seasons is convenient for guests booking themselves in. For coordinated incentive group days, Halia routes through our preferred operators with the same service tier and typically saves 10-15% on the all-in cost.
- Is there a private dock at Four Seasons we can depart from?
- Four Seasons has a beach with tender access. For larger catamarans the standard pattern is van transfer to Bo Phut Pier. For smaller boats and tenders, beach pickup from Four Seasons is feasible in calm weather.
