MV Giamani Boutique Liveaboard

MV Giamani Boutique Liveaboard

4 Days/4 Nights From THB 64,000

A Stylish & Boutique Similan Islands Liveaboard

The boutique MV Giamani has the smallest guest list of any Thailand Liveaboard. Not a small boat by any means but with only 10 guests onboard you can expect a first class and personal service. As you can imagine finding space to relax between dives is no trouble at all, many guests enjoy the outside cushioned area to maybe read a book and take in the spectacular views of the surrounding Similan and Surin Island National Parks and the uninhabited islands of the Mergui Archipelago.

The saloon is air-conditioned and fitted with plenty of media devices to view your photos or video taken on fantastic dive sites such as Richelieu Rock, Koh Tachai and Koh Bon. With so few guests onboard you have great chance of hitting the dive sites without the usual crowds.

Cabins are well laid out and feature en-suite bathrooms, individual air-conditioning units, minibar, fans and reading lights. The Master cabin is located on the upper deck and the remaining four Deluxe cabins on the main deck.

The user friendly dive deck is very comfortable with a camera table and rinse tanks making this a great boat for photographers. Food is plentiful and a great mix of Thai and international dishes are served buffet style on the shaded main deck.

Another great feature of this boat is the option of staying onboard and enjoying a further two nights at the Southern Andaman dive sites. Allowing you to extend your boutique liveaboard experience and an even better chance of seeing some big animals.
