an unforgettable experience I will definitely repeat in the future
The incredibly friendly, funny and routined crew on board made our life on the Junk as easy and comfortable as possible and supported us any time with everything they could do to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Rental equipment on board was good, crew members can handle any required maintenance or adaptation, if required, very well. Diving sites, dive group sizes and dive guides were very experienced and made every dive into another interesting discovery tour. Living on The Junk for this one week was an unforgettable experience. The sleeping cabin was very nice, clean and comfy. Best of all: the incredibly delicious food on board that was freshly cooked and differed every day. Also for vegan and vegetarian guests the selection of meals was excellent.

Similan Islands live aboard
The trip was incredible, the whole experience was so good, the staff were so helpful and took really good care of us all with all the dive equipment. We were fed like kings and queens and the food was all delicious! The dive sites were all so beautiful in different ways. Could not recommend this boat and crew more!

Best liveaboard!
Amazing week aboard The Junk! A boat with a lot of charm and a crew worthy of the name! The dives were amazing respecting safety first throughout the trip! The cabins were ok, although old but you can't expect better given the historical side of the boat! I will do it again with great pleasure! The Junk wins the prize of my liveabord!

Rustic charming trip
A very characterful boat, loads of charm , great crew The food was excellent and plentiful, (the only minor thing was organizational: they always served after our last dive immediately, so people arrived 30-60 mins late for dinner and scattered inside and outside, which didn’t result in a common supper experience) which was a bit strange. At some point dive guiding was a bit inattentive but we could arrange a satisfactory change after raising the issue y It’s an old boat but charming and i would always come back!
