About the tour

Shash is not a leisure toy and not a pretty charter for pictures — it is a working catamaran for those who want a day on the water without noise and without crowds. Course, water, shade, food, and a full set of water toys — nothing лишнее. Made for those who care that a boat runs fast and clean, that the crew works without extra words, and that a day at sea is not background, but the event itself.

This is a fast motor catamaran built in 2016/2017 (43 ft), based in Phuket Boat Lagoon. A light hull and twin engines give a steady high-speed run with no vibration. Designed for day trips and for accommodating up to six passengers on overnight stays. A three-person crew operates on board, and when at anchor a full water-toys setup is available.

Tour itinerary

The largest island on the Andaman side with a developed coastline, hills, protected bays and dense urban zones on the east and central axis. Resort areas line the western arc with long beaches facing open water, while the interior holds residential belts, road grid and service infrastructure supporting year-round traffic.
Ko Phanak is known for its sea caves and hidden hong-lagoons that open at suitable tide. Access is done by kayak from the boat, and inside the water stays calm under limestone roofs.
Ko Hong in Phang Nga Bay is a limestone island with an inner hong lagoon that is entered through a narrow gap at suitable tide. The lagoon is calm and enclosed, and it is one of the classic canoe loops under sheer limestone walls.
Ko Tapu is a 20-meter limestone stack located just off Khao Phing Kan and is the most photographed point in the bay. Boats keep distance to protect the fragile rock and photos are taken either from water or from the adjacent shore.
A large island north of Phuket used for day stops with a long sandy beach and shallow water on the west side. Boats typically anchor close to shore for swimming, walking the beach and short shade breaks.
