Intimate, Ecologically Friendly and lots of Fun

Would you, your family or group like to charter one of our vessels? We offer both The “greenest” boats avaialable in Thailand as well as the most intimate schooner available! Great service, impeccable standards and the privacy and freedom a small boat offers will let you have the vacation of a lifetime.

Freedom to choose your destinations and the flexibility to meet your agenda. 2 days or 10 days – let us know what you are looking. Chartering either of our vessels gives you the chance get away from it all with the people you know and trust to make your holiday complete. All you have to do is simply decide who to take with you and where you would like to go, pack your gear and we take care of everything else.

Snorkelers and Non-divers – Our larger boat, the Parinee was originally built for divers, but we happily cater to non-divers. Our staff are very experienced snorkelers and naturalists and we love to share our passion for the region. If you, or some of your friends prefer to spend most of the time on the beaches – we have guides that will take them to the best spots, take them snorkeling and even teach a Scuba diving course. We are also happy to do snorkeling only tours – visit the sites you’ll never get to see.

The Dive staff on our liveaboard have all been working in the region for several years and we know the best sites, the currents and even a few secrets locations that we can visit. A Photography club? We’ll get you the best macro sites and cleaning stations. First time in the tropics? Let us take you the sites with amazing visibility and warm waters that will blow your mind!

Our larger boat - The Parinee - has 6 air-conditioned cabins for a total of 13 guests. Hot water showers to warm up after a night dive, incredible food to fill you up for the long days under the tropical sun and a dive staff that speaks 9 languages. Best of all – this is the “Greenest” boat in Thailand! We use locally produced biodiesel, biodegradable soaps and eco friendly phosphate-free detergents. Don’t feel guilty about your vacation – celebrate – your money is going directly into the local economy and the reefs are not harmed by your visit!

Our 23 meter Schooner is currently undergoing retrofit and will accommodate a maximum of only 12 guests though, depending on your guests and staff requirements, we can fit 14.  This Phinisi Schooner was hand built in Indonesia using only local hardwoods - including her all Ironwood hull. After sailing the seven seas, she has settled down with us in Thailand. Designed for small groups and families - this is the perfect charter vessel for you! Imagine a holiday sailing a wooden schooner through the uninhabited islands of Thailand, mooring up at night in empty bays while dining on incredible Thai cuisine. Let those childhood dreams come true!

We are based out of Khao Lak, Thailand. Famous around the world for our long beaches, luxurious resorts and of course the most beautiful scenery found anywhere, why not spend the time before and after the adventure here? We are happy to help with all aspects of your journey – helping arrange your transfers at the airport, finding the right place to stay and of course any other activities you’d like to enjoy – golf, Khao Sok trekking or just a tour of the local temples and waterfalls.

We invite your club, family or group of friends to consider us for your next dive charter. We are always happy to consider all queries and look forward to hearing from you. Not only are we affordable, but we offer simply the best service you can imagine. Please be aware that we often fill for the holiday season so Book early!
