Our Approach to Charter
Each charter is designed around a specific pace and purpose. We operate three distinct programmes, each suited to different ways of experiencing the Andaman coast. Routes can be adjusted based on conditions, but the underlying rhythm of each charter remains consistent.
All departures are from Pantai Cenang. Vessels are fueled and provisioned the day before your scheduled departure. Crew arrive one hour early to complete final checks. We ask guests to arrive 30 minutes before departure for briefing and boarding.
Safety equipment includes life jackets in all sizes, first aid supplies, satellite communication, and emergency flares. Snorkelling gear, towels, and drinking water are provided. Guests should bring sun protection, personal medications, and swim attire.
Cenang Sunset Drift
A late-afternoon coastal cruise designed for guests who want to do very little. The 30-foot pontoon vessel departs Pantai Cenang around 4:30 PM and follows the southwestern shoreline at a gentle drift. We pass resort waterfronts, rocky headlands, and small fishing villages as the light changes.
The vessel anchors once for swimming if guests wish. Iced drinks and satay skewers are served onboard. The skipper keeps the pace deliberately slow. Return to Cenang is around 7:00 PM, after the sun has set.
What Is Included
- 30-foot pontoon with shaded seating and bean bags
- Skipper and deckhand (2 crew)
- Light refreshments (satay, iced drinks)
- Snorkelling equipment and towels
