Similans Boat C6

On board this vessel the number of guests is limited to 12 people per trip, even though there are berths for 16 people, so there is always plenty of space for allguests onboard.

The boat has 2 Standard cabins and four Deluxe cabins. The two air conditioned standard cabins are situated on the upper deck behind the wheel house; these spacious cabins each have two single berths (one of the berths is big enough to accommodate 2 people) and share 1 bathroom. On the main deck we find the four Deluxe cabins, two with three single berths and two with a double bed plus a single berth. These cabins are very spacious for 2 people. Each Deluxe cabin has it own air conditioning unit, en suite bathroom and the cabin door opens to spectacular sea views.

Enjoy the air conditioned saloon for watching a movie, playing back your digital images from that day's dives or browse through the extensive library of marine books. There is a very nice cushion relax area, giving you plenty of space to read a book, enjoy the views and chat about the thrilling dives of that day.

The dive deck is spacious with camera tables and rinse tanks making this an ideal boat for photographers. On the main deck all meals are served buffet style, the food is plentiful and diverse, Thai cuisine and International dishes are served, special diets can be catered for. The ice making machine ensures you can enjoy chilled drinks while watching the sun set and the onboard freezers means ice cream can be enjoyed after a hot day in Tropical Thailand or Myanmar.
She has a full complement of safety equipment making her a spacious, safe and diver friendly boat. This vessel was built in 1998 to IMO standards.

This boat makes 4 days/4 nights and 6 days/6 nights cruises to Similans, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock and 2 day cruises to the South Andaman: Hin Daeng, Hin Muang, Koh Haa, Bida islands (Phi Phi area) and Shark Point area. A combination trip of 2 days to South Andaman and 4 days to Similans etc. is possible of course. And in March there are 3 special trips: 8 days/8 nights diving in the Andaman Islands (India). All other boats going there are much more expensive, these trips are much more affordable.
