Solo Travellers

We believe single travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and single travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.

Meals

Eating is a big part of traveling. Traveling with G Adventures you experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world.

Food is a major part of this sailing adventure. You will enjoy many home cooked meals lovingly prepared by our on board cook. Portions are generous and will include sea food, typical Thai dishes and even the ocassional breakfast fry up.

Drinking water is provided and beer, wine and soft drink is available to purchase at cost price aboard.

Non included meals are taken ashore at local restaurants.

There's nothing left to do but kick back and relax!

Mode of Transport

Travel aboard a 25m (82 ft) sailing catamaran, offering a cozy and balanced double-hulled watercraft experience as you explore the scenic islands of Thailand.

Minimum Age

Minimum age of 16 years for this trip.

Local Dress

When packing be aware that dress standards are conservative throughout Asia. To respect this and for your own comfort, we strongly recommend modest clothing. This means covering shoulders and no short shorts. Loose, lightweight, long clothing is both respectful and cool in the predominantly hot Asian climate. Shorts should be knee-length.

Important Notes

1. Please note that space is very, very limited on the boat and especially in your cabin. It is important that you only take on board soft sided luggage such as a mid sized backpack or soft duffel bag, keeping your bag's weight to less than 15kgs. Suitcases are not appropriate for our Thai sailing adventure as they are not pliable enough to fit into the niches available for luggage. If you are on a longer trip, it may be possible to store excess luggage for one week at the yacht harbour.



2. Fresh water is very limited on board, and as such we ask for your understanding that showers are limited to one quick shower per person a day. One towel per week is provided for showering purposes - please bring a beach towel. Drinking water is provided free of charge on board the yacht.



3. It's important to note that the beds in the cabins are not the usual length of a standard bed. The length is approximately 1.8 meters ( 6 feet)



4. Please note that this trip is a combination of multiple G Adventures tours. As such, the staff may change between tour segments. You may also expect some group members to join or leave the tour, between tour segments. There may be a few hours between segments of the trip, where you will get to stretch your legs on land, and explore independently while your crew prepares the vessel for any passengers who will be joining the tour.



5. Pre-Trip Contact (G App)

Group Leader

This sailing adventure is staffed by a qualified skipper, a local cook/first mate and a G Adventures CEO. Your onboard team know the Thai Islands extremely well and are passionate about sharing their hidden secrets with their "crew". They know the best secluded beaches, snorkeling spot, coolest beach bars and where you can check your internet. Our Cook is very welcoming and more than happy to give informal Thai cooking classes while your delicious meals are being prepared in the ship's galley.

About Accommodation

The catamaran is equipped with a total of 8 passenger cabins. Two deluxe double cabins are located on the main deck offering porthole views, a slightly larger bathroom, and they are more easily accessed without the use of steep stairs. There are 4 standard bunk/twin cabins and 3 standard double cabins, below deck, accessed by steep stairs. All standard cabins feature porthole windows. For your added comfort all cabins feature air-conditioning and private en suite bathrooms.



Power onboard is 220V on European 2 pin sockets. Please note that this is not suitable for CPAP sleeping aid machines, as the power source may not always be guaranteed. Bringing a battery pack is recommended.



Please be aware that as this is a real sailboat and not a cruise vessel, the space on board is tight. The sleeping quarters on sailboats are generally kept to a minimum size in order to maximize public space and performance. The vessel also features an onboard kitchenette, interior and exterior common areas, and plenty of outside deck space.



Some people are not comfortable with the type of close quarter arrangements typically found on sailboats, however if a real sailing experience on a real sailboat is what you are after, then this experience should more than make up for cramped quarters. Opportunities to sleep under the stars on deck are often available.



If you are a single traveller, you will be paired up in a cabin with another traveller of the same gender. You will be sharing a bunk or double bed with a fellow passenger of the same sex and sharing the bathrooms onboard. Please note cabins have limited luggage storage space. Most travellers spend little time in their cabins, mainly using them to sleep and store their belongings.



It may be possible to sometimes smell engine and/or diesel fumes when in the cabins, due to their proximity to the engine room. Most travel is done during the day, so it is unlikely you will be in the cabin when the engine is running.

What to Take

There is limited space on the yachts. We recommend the use of a duffel bag or backpack. A good size daypack is also essential PLEASE NOTE: No hard suitcases are permitted.

Spending Money

Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.



All purchases made onboard the boat must be made with cash.
