On Board Water Sports Equipment

Carried on board Shangani, you will find the following sports and leisure equipment to keep you and the kids occupied if soaking up the sun and relaxing is not enough on your yacht cruise through the waters of Phuket.
Kayaks – Fun around the boat, or explore the many “hongs” (open caves) in Phang Nga Bay. Or paddle over from the yacht to a deserted white sand beach on one of the islands, where your only company will be hermit crabs and monkeys.
SUPs – Stand Up Paddleboards are provided, a cross between surfing and canoeing. These boards are another great way to explore the coastline and are great exercise too!
Snorkelling – Snorkelling equipment is provided free of charge and is the best way to enjoy the corals and aquatic life teeming below the hull. Crystal clear waters mean great visibility, and the hours will pass without you realising as you encounter the underwater world of Thailand.
Scuba Diving – Generally, we do not do scuba diving on Day charters. We have an affiliation with a really good Divemaster/instructor who would be at your expense if you needed him. The Similan Islands, 60 miles northeast of Phuket, are listed amongst the top seven dive spots in the world.
Fishing – Fishing tackle provided. You can fish from the yacht or the small dinghy. Deep-sea fishing from the stern of the yacht while cruising is great fun, and you will easily catch tuna, barracuda, and many other fish. Or you can watch the crew catching your supper!
Swimming – There is a large stern swim platform, which can be lowered to water level. Swimming in such crystal clear water is a wonderful experience.
Underwater Photography – There is an underwater camera on board; no film is provided, so pop a 35 mm roll in your bag if you wish to use it.
Thai Massage (Add On)

Thai Massage Thai massage is deservedly world-famous. We have great masseuses on board
