The Phinisi Overview

The Phinisi is a very special diving yacht that offers her guests diving cruises to the best locations in Thailand. Also there are some trips into Myanmar’s Mergui Archipelago. The Phinisi is owned and managed by the most-experienced & professional team, ensuring that every diving cruise is one to remember forever. Relaxing luxury, a special atmosphere, & enjoyable cruises are guaranteed on this wonderful yacht. Although its design is traditional, it's actually a modern boat.
There are seven comfortable cabins on The Phinisi, each with a private en suite bathroom, air conditioning, storage cupboards & shelves, & a safety deposit box. The air conditioners are independently controlled to enable you to choose the most-comfortable temperature, and the bathrooms have hot & cold freshwater showers and proper western toilets. There are two cabins that have four single beds. And five cabins are for two guests, which have a large double bed or two single beds, depending on whether you’re a couple or friends, or travelling alone.
The Phinisi has comfortable indoor and outdoor dining & socialising areas that will make deciding which to choose pleasantly difficult. The lounge saloon is large, air-conditioned and beautifully decorated, but why come on a cruise and stay indoors? Undercover outdoor dining doesn’t get any better than this, with unbeatable views and plenty of delicious food. There are also areas to sunbathe or enjoy the sea breeze in the shade. Spending time on board is so nice that you may feel reluctant to go diving. Luckily, entering and exiting the crystal clear seas is very smooth and easy thanks to motorized tenders. The western staff and local crew are all extremely experienced and service minded. Sometimes the smallest details mean so much, and you will not be disappointed on The Phinisi.
The itineraries give you the best liveaboard diving in Thailand. There is a range of itineraries that include 4-night cruises to the Southern Islands of Koh Lipe, Hin Daeng, Koh Haa, Koh Phi Phi, Racha, & Phuket’s best dive sites. And there are 6-night trips to The Similans & Richelieu Rock. It's also possible to join for 10 days & nights and see all of Thailand's Andaman Coast! Finally, a few trips each year also go into Myanmar’s Mergui Archipelago, but Covid forced a break in this option.
