Best Time Sailing in Samui
I went out 2 times sailing with Samui Ocean Sports and Kuntas Crew. It was amazing. The first one was just perfect to spent a half day with 2 teens kids to celebrate my husbands 50 Birthday. I wanted to do something special for him. The crew was amazing and in time. Very friendly like all thais are. We felt very safe with them and they took very good care of us. We were treated like Special guests. We all loved the day and it was well organized with delicious snacks and drinks. We jumped off the boat which was lovly and snorkeled although the viisabilaty was poor as of it was rainy season which was not a distaste. Fishing for my kids was fun to keep them entertained and the skipper did everything he could to make our trip perfect. The second trip was on a bigger yacht that I booked with my girlfriend. We loved it. The special secret beaches the food in the restaurant the service the personal guide made this day unforgettable. Thanks to Kunta and his team! It's not all about money it's about experiences and memories!
We had the most amazing day aboard the Sanora. We had chartered the yacht for just the two of us as we were on our honeymoon and desperate to get away from the hoards of tourists. The day was utterly faultless. From the moment our taxi collected us, on the dot, at the time specified (not heard of in Thailand). To the young men who crewed the yacht, to the lunch and the destinations. It was all perfect. I could not recommend this trip highly enough. It was most of our budget for the week, but it was money well spent, after all, you get what you pay for.
