Tiger Marine Charter of Phuket Thailand has posted before saying we will shortly commence Speedboat Charters with our newly aquired Axopar 28.

Well, we have now started and was launched two weeks ago and trials commenced,

In that time we have done 3 charters, one of them a repeat cistomer !! All very successful and all our customers praised the boat and the crew and of course the food.

We have named her LIMPOPO , the african connection as it is owned by one Zimbawean and one South African, and  Limpopo which means fast running water is the river that divides our two countries.

She is Thai flagged and operates under Tiger Marine Charter, a licenced Thai marine company and TAT ( tourism of Thailand ) regulations.

Accordingly to comply with the law we have done away with the Hostess and replaced her with a licenced Engineer to operate with the Captain. Actually this makes sense as two guys are needed to anchor her stern to the beach so our customers can literally walk off the boat into ankle deep water. Both these guys will look after you , serve your drinks and food and set up the table on the beach.

Our repeat customer requested the same crew so they must be doing it right !

Limpopo is very different from the average speedboat , and is extremely comfortable , with her cabin and soft leather seats you can escape the wind and sun yet keep cool at the same time whilst underway at speed. Also the cabin makes it the ideal choice with families who bring their children or Mum in law. Limpopo also has a very nice toilet , something you do not have on the average speedboat but on a full day charter is a necessity.

We have priced her at 39,500 for a full day charter and 27,000 for a half day, Google around and you will see we are the cheapest for this level of comfort. What does it include , well, We send a nice air conditioned 10 seat mini bus to pick you up at your hotel and also to take you back. You will be met by the crew or a member of Tiger Marine Charter and escorted to Limpopo where you will receive a cold face towel and a welcome drink , followed by a safety briefing and on your way. On board all soft drinks and bottled water are complementary and 6 beers per adult. Customers can of course bring their own alcohol, there is no corkage fee. Snorkelling equipment and beach towels and life jackets of all sizes are on board for your use and lunch is delicious and served either on board or on a secluded beach. We make use of our secret beach during the high season where you will be on your own , a rareity in Phuket and surrounding islands these days .

Choice of menu , choice of routeing is up to you and its all on the website www.tigermarinecharter.com under the speedboat tab.

A good idea and has been done by our second customer was to not opt for the menu on board but go for lunch at the Laemsai seafood restuarant in Krabi area.This is a delightful restuarant right on the waters edge , We reimburse you for the food we have not supplied and you choose your own lunch at this quaint little restaurant. To give you an example the customers the other day , a family of 6 , Mum , Dad , Mum in law and three children had a delicious lunch for 2400, bt which is exactly what we reduced their Invoice for. makes sense !

So having started operations we are pleased with her initial success and expect to be booked heavily throughout the year, if you are holidaying in Phuket this is a wonderful way to spend one of your days so give us a call +66898664401 or send us an E mail [email protected] and we will give you a day to remember.
