5 Star Marine increases local job opportunities by ramping up the number of employees, contractors and boat acquisitions in response to demand from Phuket Sandbox.
The Phuket Sandbox project is proving to be successful for local private boat charter business 5 Star Marine. Owner Shaun Stenning says “Over the last 2 weeks we have reactivated all our private boat assets with 11 private boats now in the water and available for charter. We have expanded our hiring with 33 boat staff, 5 admin team, 13 contract drivers; all working on a daily basis to deliver exceptional tours. Not to mention all the jobs we are creating through purchasing boat supplies, fuel and more!”

The success is not just limited to 5 Star Marine. Included in the price of a Private Boat Charter is an onboard lunch. This has created flow on success for local business owner Yaowaret Jackson, owner of Ann’s Kitchen. “With the daily orders from 5 Star Marine on top of our existing customer business plus new customers from the Phuket Sandbox I am finally starting to see a positive return after 14 months of surviving this Covid Crisis.” Said Yaowaret.
With the island destinations that customers from the Phuket Sandbox can visit limited during this initial phase the demand that 5 Star Marine and other Boat Operators in Phuket are seeing is expected to expand as more island locations open.
“With the expected reopening of Phi Phi Ley and Phang Nga Bay on August 1st and a change to what destinations Sandbox Customers can visit, we expect to see even greater demand for both private boats and joining group tours from August 1st. This is really positive news for the local economy and for operators within the Marine Industry.” Said Shaun Stenning
