World-Class Destinations from Phuket Marina

Myanmar’s Mergui Archipelago – Untouched Paradise

Embark on an extraordinary journey from Phuket to Myanmar’s legendary Mergui Archipelago, home to over 800 pristine islands scattered across crystal-clear waters. This UNESCO-protected region offers world-class diving at sites like Burma Banks, where manta rays and whale sharks gather seasonally. The archipelago’s untouched beaches, hidden lagoons, and traditional Moken sea gypsy villages provide authentic cultural encounters impossible to find elsewhere in Southeast Asia. Optimal charter season runs from November through April when seas remain calm and visibility exceeds 30 meters.

Malaysia’s Langkawi and Penang Waters

Experience Malaysia’s stunning west coast aboard Sanook, with Langkawi’s dramatic limestone karsts and protected marine parks offering spectacular snorkeling and diving opportunities. The UNESCO Geopark status ensures pristine underwater ecosystems, while Penang’s rich cultural heritage provides fascinating shore excursions combining colonial history with vibrant local markets. These Malaysian waters remain accessible year-round, with particularly favorable conditions during the dry season from December through March.

Koh Tarutao Marine National Park

Explore Thailand’s southernmost marine sanctuary, where Sanook’s cross-border capabilities allow access to remote anchorages near the Malaysian border. This protected area features pristine coral reefs, secluded beaches, and excellent diving sites that remain largely undiscovered by conventional tourism. The park’s strategic location makes it an ideal waypoint for extended cross-border adventures.

Exceptional Accommodation for Up to 12 Guests

Sanook’s thoughtfully designed interior features four luxurious cabins that accommodate up to 12 guests in supreme comfort. The full-beam master suite serves as the yacht’s crown jewel, positioned centrally for optimal stability and featuring three distinctive vertical hull windows that flood the space with natural light. This spacious retreat includes a 32-inch flat-screen HD television with DVD player, an expansive walk-in wardrobe with owner’s safe, and a sumptuous en-suite bathroom complete with power massage shower, oval double-ended bathtub, toilet, bidet, and elegant marble accents.

This elevated deck comfortably accommodates the entire charter party with premium seating arrangements, generous sun pads for relaxation, and a fully equipped wet bar featuring BBQ facilities for al fresco dining experiences.

Powerful Performance and Advanced Systems

Sanook’s impressive performance credentials stem from her twin MTU engines, each delivering 1,520 horsepower for smooth, efficient cruising at speeds ranging from 15 to 23 knots. This powerful propulsion system ensures comfortable passage-making between destinations while maintaining the refined onboard experience Princess yachts are renowned for delivering.

The yacht’s substantial 5,900-liter fuel capacity provides exceptional range for extended cross-border charter itineraries, while the 1,500-liter fresh water system ensures complete self-sufficiency during longer voyages.
