Welcoming up to 6 guests across 3 cabins, this 16.8 m motor yacht provides an intimate setting for cruising. Onboard life is kept effortless thanks to air conditioning throughout the interior, while days out on the water can be spent using the light fishing gear or rinsing off beneath the outdoor shower.

Cruising Thailand: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The main cruising season runs from November to April during the northeast monsoon, bringing dry weather, calm seas, and light to moderate winds of 10 to 15 knots. December and January are peak charter months with the highest visitor numbers. The southwest monsoon from May to October brings frequent rain and stronger swells on the west coast, though sheltered areas in Phang Nga Bay remain accessible.
Practical tips
- Phuket (HKT) serves as the primary gateway, with Phuket's marinas (Yacht Haven, Ao Po Grand, Royal Phuket) located about 15–40 minutes from the airport.
- National park fees are payable in cash to rangers upon entering designated marine areas, including Phang Nga Bay and Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi.
- Dress modestly when going ashore in fishing communities or visiting temples; ensure shoulders and knees are covered, and remove footwear before entering buildings.
Anchorages to know
- Loh Samah Bay, Koh Phi Phi LehVessels use park mooring buoys here, providing tender access and a short walk across the island to Maya Bay, where boat entry is strictly prohibited.
- Koh Hong, Phang Nga BayA sheltered limestone lagoon accessible by tender or kayak at mid-tide through a narrow cliff opening, offering a secure daytime anchorage.
- Ao Chalong, PhuketPhuket's principal southern anchorage and clearance port, offering good holding in mud and comprehensive shoreside marine support services.
- Koh Racha YaiAn island south of Phuket with clear water, coral reefs, and sandy bays that provide sheltered overnight anchorage during the northeast monsoon.
