Nautica - Burma and Thailand Liveaboard

Schedule 08/09 | Prices | Description and Photos | Itinerary | Boat Plans

Having started operating in October 2005, the MV Nautica is one of the newest liveaboards in Phuket, her design based on many years of experience to create one of the best boats in Thailand. The 24m steel vessel Nautica runs tours from 4 to 8 days, diving in both Thailand and Burma, carrying a maximum of only 12 guests. The Nautica will suit experienced and novice divers looking for a very comfortable diving trip in a small group. This boat is one of our top recommendations for 2008 - 2009. Nitrox is available on board.

Nautica has 4 twin or double bed deluxe cabins and one double bed Master cabin plus one bunk cabin. All deluxe cabins are on the main deck, while the double bed Master cabin is found on the upper deck. The bunk cabin is a new addition (added summer 2007) and is also on the main deck. All cabins except the bunk cabin have private bathrooms; all cabins have individually controllable aircon. Cabin interiors are panelled with teak to create a warm and spacious feeling.

There is a very large outdoor dining/relaxation area on the upper deck and also a large newly redesigned sun deck on the main deck. For only 12 guests this is a big boat, with lots of space to relax between dives. Meals are typical Thailand liveaboard style - served as a buffet of Thai and European dishes.
