Route overview

An indicative Andaman passage

Perfect for a weekend escape, this mini-cruise combines beautiful snorkel stops at Koh Kai and Phi Phi with the option to explore the famous nightlife – or anchor in a quieter bay if you prefer a peaceful night on board.

Indicative passage plan

Each day is a planning framework, not a promise of a particular anchorage or activity. At five knots, a 50-mile leg requires roughly ten hours underway before pilotage and manoeuvring.
