The Smiling Seahorse Liveaboard
The MV Smiling Seahorse Liveaboard took set sail for the first time in November 2018. She was a purposely build liveaboard vessel. Her steel hull is well suited to waters of the Andaman Sea and her two 2 superior engines allow the MV Smiling Seahorse to venture further into into the waters of Myanmar. Although the boat is larger than its predecessor, measuring 25m long and 6.4m wide, her eight cabins and bathrooms spread over four levels cater for up to 16 guests. She is a spacious boat that keeps regular liveaboard divers happy.
Our boat has very spacious common areas on 3 levels and is also the first liveaboard in Thailand designed with photographers in mind:
having a dedicated “photographers’ room”, camera rinsing tanks, charging stations, editing stations and well-trained boat staff experienced in handling all kind of expensive gear.
The Cabins
8 double cabins all but the standard have their own toilet, shower and sink which provides guests privacy beyond most boats at this price in the area and all cabins have individual air conditioners.
- 2 Master Cabins. Main Deck, Double Bed, Private Bathroom
- 2 Deluxe Cabins. Main Deck, Double/Twin/Twin Bed, Private Bathroom
- 2 Standard Cabins. Upper Deck, Double Bed, Shared Bathroom
The Food
Very good. All meals are served buffet style on the shaded upper deck. Really tasty traditional Thai food with the occasional Western style meal. There’s never a problem if you have any special dietary requests just please give us some advance warning.
