THIS SEA OF FANTASY PAGE IS OBSOLETE. DIVE THE WORLD NO LONGER SELLS THIS LIVEABOARD.

PLEASE BROWSE OUR WEBSITE FOR ALTERNATIVES

MV Sea of Fantasy is a 27 metre motor yacht that runs short trips to the Similan Islands from Khao Lak. A Maximum of just up to 13 guests can join 3 or 4 night cruises on this fun and friendly budget Similan liveaboard. Unusually for a boat in its class, you will find free nitrox for suitably-qualified divers.

All cabins are above deck meaning they feature windows and natural light. Single and Twin cabins have shared bathrooms while the 2 Master cabins have en-suite facilities. Most socialising is done in the open-air dining area on the upper deck of the liveaboard, where you will take your meals cooled by the sea breezes and against a backdrop of ever-changing Similans scenery. This is where the TV, DVD player and music system are located. The sundeck features chairs and mats and plenty of shading.

There is a spacious dive deck with plenty of room for all guests to gear up without feeling cramped. Space is maximised throughout the boat so it never feels too small. If you are on a budget or short of time, MV Sea of Fantasy could be the one to fulfil your Similan liveaboard dreams.
