Amazing!
My boyfriend and I decided to book this trip on a whim as our first live aboard ever and it was absolutely incredible. So much so, it was the highlight of our three weeks in Thailand. The boat itself is super cute, comfortable, air conditioned; I don't remember a single thing I didn't like about it. The crew were fantastic, so friendly and cooked the best food ever! There were just over 10 people on the boat and it made for some great socialising. My only complaint is it was too short and there were times it would have been prudent to include safety checks as a must, but luckily the only fault I ever found was my tank wasn't switched on once (lol, but I quickly rectified that myself anyway). We loved it so much we are trying to go on another liveaboard.
