Very rewarding trip
It has been a short but very rewarding life on board. Everything is very well organized, from pick-up and drop-off to the boat and the transfer after the trip is over to the airport or another hotel. The organization is very good, well-structured tempos, snacks and drinks between dives.Spectacular food.All the staff on the boat are super friendly and help at any time.The boat is old but has a lot of charm.The dive sites are well chosen depending on the weather and waves. The dive guides accompany you without pressure. Dives are 60 minutes.We are very happy to have been able to enjoy a few days on this boat and with this crew.

Perfect 3 day dive trip
The crew was super attentive. Never seen anything like it. The dive guide was stellar in regards to guiding each dive but even more had an extensive knowledge about anything related to the sea and diving. And the diving was just great.

An impeccably organized expedition featuring world-class diving, expert crew support, and the unforgettable macro treasures of Richelieu Rock.
My first impression of The Junk was truly special. The vessel possesses a unique elegance and a classic, emotional charm that immediately set high expectations for the diving trip ahead. To be honest, I was initially taken aback by the cabins. They were much smaller than I had anticipated, which was a bit overwhelming at first. However, as the trip progressed, my perspective completely shifted. The professionalism and organization of the crew were world-class. Every dive was perfectly organized, and the crew’s attention to detail—from gear management to the overall schedule—brought a sense of stability and comfort to the entire journey. Their expertise and friendliness truly stood out, making every dive a satisfying experience. Beyond the diving, everything was fantastic. The food was excellent, and witnessing the sunrises and sunsets from the deck was nothing short of magical. I highly recommend The Junk to anyone planning a liveaboard in the Similan Islands. If you are looking for a systematic, professional, and stable diving adventure in Thailand, this is the perfect choice.

I can’t recommend enough this liveaboard: everything was greatly organized, crew extremely kind and professional, dive sites stunning and mouth watering Thai food also for vegetarian and vegans.
