Vibes Catamaran Yacht – 30-Guest Premium Similan Escape

A Premium Small-Group Similan Island Experience

The Similan Islands are famous for brilliant turquoise water, powder-soft beaches, dramatic granite formations and colourful underwater life. Vibes transforms this celebrated destination into a more comfortable small-group journey aboard a contemporary twin-engine catamaran yacht limited to only 30 guests.

With fewer passengers onboard, guests have more room to move around, relax on the bow, enjoy the indoor lounge and receive assistance from the crew. The program combines two island landings, two snorkeling sessions, quality meals and a full day of Andaman Sea scenery.

Distinctive Contemporary Yacht Design

Vibes features a sleek European-inspired appearance with a striking black-and-white hull. Its broad twin-hull platform creates generous passenger space, while the panoramic bow provides individual sun loungers for enjoying the sea breeze and photographing the surrounding islands.

The open layout encourages natural airflow throughout the yacht. Guests can stay outside in the sunshine, relax in shaded areas or move into the bright indoor lounge when they prefer a cooler setting.

Faster Twin-Engine Cruising

Vibes uses a twin-engine propulsion system designed to improve cruising efficiency on the long journey between the pier and the Similan Islands. According to the operator, it can improve sailing efficiency by approximately 40 percent compared with conventional tour boats, helping guests spend more of the day enjoying the islands rather than travelling.

The wide twin-hull design also provides a stable passenger platform and separates the different relaxation areas more effectively than a narrow conventional boat.

Airy Interior and Comfortable Lounge

The indoor lounge has large sofas, tables and a minimalist contemporary interior. It is a comfortable space for enjoying refreshments, resting between island visits or taking a break from the midday sun.

The yacht also provides shaded seating, a spacious forward deck and convenient onboard washroom facilities, making the longer Similan route more comfortable.

Only 30 Guests with Attentive Service

Vibes accepts a maximum of 30 passengers and is supported by an experienced Thai yacht crew, including the captain, professional guides and onboard service staff. The operator promotes a substantially higher crew-to-guest ratio than conventional large-group tours, allowing guests to receive more assistance with snorkeling equipment, boarding, refreshments and general comfort.

Welcome drinks, chilled hand towels, large bath towels, drinking water, soft drinks and fresh fruit are provided. Equipment also includes disinfected towels, disposable snorkeling mouthpieces and children’s life jackets. Beach shoes may be available depending on the operator’s arrangements on the travel date.

Island No. 8 – Sailing Rock and Panoramic Views

Island No. 8 is one of the most recognisable places in the Similan Islands. Guests can walk towards the famous Sailing Rock viewpoint, photograph the dramatic granite landscape or relax beside the clear water and white sand. The viewpoint walk is optional, so guests who prefer a slower visit can spend their time on the beach.

Island No. 4 – Powder-Soft White Sand

Island No. 4 is known for its fine white sand and calm tropical scenery. Guests can swim, walk along the beach, take photographs or simply enjoy time beside the Andaman Sea.

Two Snorkeling Experiences

The standard program includes two snorkeling sessions in different parts of the national park. The first session is normally near Island No. 9, an area known for underwater scenery and the possibility of encountering sea turtles. The second is planned near Island No. 7, where guests can explore coral formations and look for tropical fish.

Sea turtles and other marine animals live freely in their natural environment, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. Snorkeling locations may be adjusted according to waves, currents, national park instructions and safety conditions.

Meals and Refreshments Throughout the Day

The experience includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, together with drinking water, unlimited soft drinks, fresh fruit and dessert. Breakfast is served during the morning journey. Lunch aboard the yacht features a premium selection that may include salmon sashimi, sushi, seafood and hot dishes. Dessert and fruit are served during the return journey, followed by dinner after arriving at the pier.

Menu items may be adjusted according to ingredient availability, seafood season and the operator’s arrangements on the day.
