MV SaiMai - Boutique Liveaboard

MV Saimai Dive and Snorkel liveaboard is all about comfort and relaxation for small groups. It's a totally different philosophy to the pile 'em high boats that are so prevalent these days. At 21m long SaiMai is not a small boat, she used to accommodate 12 guests for liveaboards but in her 2010 refurbishment some cabins were removed to increase space onboard. She now has some of the biggest cabins around.

On a Saimai trip you feel special, pampered, cared for. Divers have room to kit up and dive in small groups. You will not be rushed, your dives will not be cut short. Non divers and catered for just as well as divers, not treated like an after thought.

You can join Saimai on an overnight trip to Phi Phi or a 2 night trip to Hin Daeng. The great thing about Saimai liveaboard is that you can join it in Phuket, Phi Phi, Lanta or Krabi and also finish in either Phuket, Phi Phi, Lanta or Krabi.

If you have a group of 4-6 divers or non divers SaiMai is the perfect charter option for you. You can also charter Saimai to dive Burma. Saimai's tour leader is very experienced diving the Mergui Archipelago.
