Incredible: everything!

Marco the trip leader is a true professional and he and the rest of the staff bend over backwards to make it your best trip ever. The dive sites were good, avoiding the day trip boats very well. The food was out of this world, and the dorms were very comfy with softer beds and cold AC.

This crewed ship makes divers' hearts beat at the highest level.

Each and every one of the team contributed to the great success of this trip. Without exception, everyone was friendly, attentive and took care of the customers in the best possible way. The divemaster was outstandingly good and I felt very well informed on every dive, very safe and was able to enjoy the great dive sites. The beautiful ship also turned out to be very well equipped and my cabin was also very nice! I am totally thrilled with this great diving trip!

This trip makes you feel like you are back in the days of Jaques Cousteau's pioneering diving.

The mix of soft and hard corals in the Mergui islands is exceptional! Till date, there has been almost no bleaching. The Burma banks, situated far from land, are amazing dive sites. Giant ancient coral bommies with many nurse sharks sleeping underneath them and cruising around. There are also silver tips and a profusion of fish. The currents provided great drift dives and the visibility was excellent.

The Mergui islands are breathtaking. They are one of the most unspoiled Archipelagos in the world.. We did not see any other liveaboards during the entire trip.. Dive and cruise. They took us on a beautiful tour of the islands, the view was continuously changing..

Outstanding, such a hard-working crew, exceptionally high standards!

I cannot recommend the Phinisi as a liveaboard experience more enough - this was the most incredible and professional liveaboard I have been on. From the safety briefings, to the dive sites, to the food, the onboard pharmacy, the aesthetic of the wooden boat (with functional sails…!) it was all amazing. The crew are incredibly friendly, professional and fun - the boat is so spacious with lots of areas to hang out and have space from other members, and the cabins are all air conditioned with en suites and so comfortable! The diving was beautiful with Richieu Rock being a stand out dive site - highly recommend taking the crews advice and getting up early as the site can become crowded with lots of divers - but it is so worth it. We didn’t have as many big fish i.e. mantas, whale sharks but we went early November which is slightly out of season - and sadly the water was very warm (the bigger fish liking cooler water). All in all an absolutely outstanding experience with the crew making the effort to put the sails up on our last day which was so special - and it truly is the most beautiful boat on the Andaman Sea!
