as soon as you were on board you start to relax the gentle rocking watching the view changing no newspapers fantastic food like being in your own little world

We just finished an amazing three night trip on the Catelaya with Mr Rob and his fantastic crew (Cpt Do, chef Da and first mate Chai) We had a real adventure travelling around the Andaman, mostly by engine but we sailed whenever there was enough wind. We visited the ice cream caves, Phakbia, snorkelled at chicken islands, had an inland excursion to Railay, Da prepared delicious meals for us, mostly local cuisine, sometimes with fresh fish caught by the crew! Cold beers and soft drinks were always available from the fridge. We did the trip via intrepid and had a nice bunch of folks travelling with us from all over the world- US, Ireland, England, Aus, Spain, Germany. Everyone was friendly and we were sad to say goodbye at the end of the trip. Mr Rob was a great guide / captain / host. He gave good banter and welcomed good banter in return. Other than his poor taste in international rugby teams you couldn’t ask for a better host. A 5* experience on a beautiful vessel with a lovely crew, highly recommended.

Spent 4 days on board Catalaya , Rob provided a brilliant faultless experience. Probably the highlight of my 4 weeks in Thailand. Great memories!

Incredible, enlightening and simply amazing. The people, the location the entire trip! Will forever remain a highlight of my Thailand travels and I'm researching for my next Intrepid trip already.

This trip far exceeded my expectations As a mature age older solo female traveller felt always included and crew were extra helpful The briefings explaining what to expect each day were great and there was ample time for questions Rob was always available for a chat.I definitely recommend this trip but take the 7 days not the 4 as I did .

I had an amazing time sailing for the 4 days. As this was my first time solo travelling and being a female aged 20 I was very nervous. Rob and the team made me feel very comfortable and I couldn’t recommend this trip to other travellers enough. The people I got to meet and places I got to see is something I will always hold on to. Thankyou Rob & crew for such an amazing trip, hope to see you all again soon.

This was a fantastic short holiday! The itinerary was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this trip. About the only thing I would change would be the disembarkation point of Ko Phi Phi, which was far too crowded for my tastes. Highly recommend this trip!

The sailing trip was fabulous in every way. So much fun, excellent leadership and fantastic food.

This one week sailing trip was excellent. Captain Nolte and team took a nice care of all the people on board. The local thai food cooked on the ship was very delicious. I experienced one ofv the best sunsets and night sky in my life. I enjoyed the company of my fellow travelers from different parts of the world.

I had a great time on the 4 day sailing tour from Phuket to Ko Phi Phi. I've never done a sailing trip before and I was worried about getting sea sick but it was smooth sailing. Island hopping, snorkeling, kayaking, cave exploring, and of course just chillin on the front deck were all highlights of this trip. Food was amazing! The only thing I didn't like were the sleeping quarters. I stayed in the twin (bunk bed) cabin. It was very tight spaced and hot. There is a fan, which helped a bit but be warned, it does take a day or 2 to get used to. Otherwise a minor inconvenience. I would highly recommend this tour. Expect high quality as usual from Intrepid. Much appreciate.
