MV Peter Pan Overview
One of the most popular diving liveaboard boats to sail around the Similan Islands and Richelieu Rock is Peter Pan. At 27 metres long and 6.5 metres wide, this boat offers its 20 guests lots of space to move around and socialize or find a quiet spot to sleep, sunbathe, read a book, or just relax. Every cabin is clean, air-conditioned and furnished tastefully. There is a wide range of cabin options to choose from, starting with the budget cabins, which offer fantastic value for those who want twin beds or a double bed to share. On the main deck, there are two more levels of comfort, all with sea view windows. Here, the centerpiece is the master cabin. A large window overlooks the front of the boat and the large bed is surrounded by plenty of space. The master cabin has its own en suite shower. The main-deck twin cabins share bathrooms with hot and cool water. Unlike most other Thailand liveaboards in the Similan Islands, Peter pan also has upper deck standard twin cabins. There's also multimedia entertainment and social areas. Here, guests get to know one another between dives and share stories of what has happened under water.
Peter Pan has recently been refurbished, ensuring that the quality and cleanliness that she is known for continues for the coming season. The staff and crew do an excellent job of taking care of everyone on board, be they divers or not, as well as ensuring safety and privacy.
Peter Pan has a simple schedule, with most trips going for 4 days and 5 nights to the Similan Islands, also sailing north to Richelieu Rock & Surin Islands, stopping off at Koh Bon and Koh Tachai, then three wreck dives on the final day. You get four full diving days and five nights on board. You disembark in the morning, meaning that you can fly the same day. There are also some 3D/3N trips which skip The Similans and go directly to Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, richelieu Rock, The surin Islands and local wrecks. Be careful when comparing websites, because some other show the same trips to be 6D/5N and 4D/3N. We prefer to be more clear. The trips are the same, whoever you book though.

MV Peter Pan Courses
Not only is MV Peter Pan a great-value Similans liveaboard to do fun dives from, it is also one of the best to take part in a diving course while on board.

The 3D/3N (4D/3N) trips also start in the evening, but on the final day you get three dives and then leave the boat in the late afternoon.
