I had a great week exploring the islands around Phuket - the weather was perfect, scenery stunning and felt very lucky to experience this all from a sail boat rather than the crowded day tripper boats! Bruno and the rest of the crew looked after us well, the food exceeding my expectations (still not sure how our cook managed to produce the meals she did from the tiny galley kitchen!) although I think the first half of the week was better than the second. I enjoyed the itinerary, it was a great mix of relaxation and heading off on the kayaks and paddle boards or snorkelling - having all of the equipment on board was a definite highlight. We seemed to depart from the planned itinerary a little, but this wasn’t a problem. All in all would definitely recommend.
