Excellent adventure in thailand

Susan Mar 2025

We took a chance booking a 7-day cabin cruise on a catamaran in Thailand without knowing much about the boat, crew or locale. Vincent at Globe Sailor navigated the details for us and was very responsive to every inquiry. The price was competitive and his assurances that it would meet our expectations solidified the booking.
We were not disappointed! In fact, the 7 days on Dream Escondido, a Lagoon 620 with 10 passengers and 3 crew, may be our best vacation to date!

The tour operator were professional and seemed focused on both our satisfaction and safety. Captain Sem was an experienced seaman and he and his small crew worked seamlessly to provide the best possible experience. We had several days at full sail and the Captain not only knew the waters and conditions, he flexed the itinerary to ensure we were seeing each mooring/anchor site at the best possible time considering tides, weather, and crowds. The result was outstanding snorkeling spots, great overnight moorings, and prime stops at low tourist intervals.

Our fellow passengers were a delight and the shared meal and deck time easy and comfortable. Our chef/concierge, Sai, created three meals each day that were professionally prepared and delicious, capitalizing on local, fresh ingredients and recipes. We all said it was like having your Thai grandmother (much younger) cook for you each day!

Our only caution is to understand before choosing this cruise that "boat life" in this part of Thailand in March is hot! While the cabins were spacious and daytime ocean breezes provided relief, the nights were at times uncomfortable for sleeping (you could cool down by sleeping "up top" deckside)! In the end, it was well worth it to suffer some hot nights leading up to spectacular scenery and sites during the day. It was a unique and preferred way to see the islands and beaches of this beautiful country. We wouldn't hesitate to do it again!

Every aspect of the trip was fantastic! The crew, the food was amazing! I miss our chef so much. The best food I have eaten in my life. I celebrated my birthday on the boat and they made me feel like we have been friends forever. Thank you.

Fantastic trip in general!

Carl Jan 2025

We are so happy and pleased with our trip trough the Grenadines!

The schedule had perfect balance regarding time spent on each place/activity, the destinations was beautiful and the visits to each place felt authentic since it wasn't crowded with other tourists. The boat was big and fresh. The crew was very friendly and created a good vibe on board. The only feedback of improvement is:
1. Toilet had slight disfunction (which we highlighted to crew members, who had a look but no solution provided) in our cabin and some nights was very hot.
2. Instructions and information from crew members could be better. We would like to have a some kind of briefing of what each destination is known for or what we can expect during the days. A bit unclear timings for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
3. Only the skipper spoke basic English.
4. Tour (optional package) in St Lucia was not good. The guide was not engaged (didn't talk enough or to whole group) and it felt very touristic (follow the stream of people). The guide didnt provide us with information, and was difficult to engage in questions. This was the complete opposite to the guided tour in st Vincent, where we had an amazing tour and guide (Mr Liquid) who was excellent in his communication, open to questions, provided a good vibe for the tour. All the best to Mr Liquid!
5. Breakfast could be improved, was missing basic ham or cheese and maybe some salad/fruit.

A relaxed tour in paradise.

Torbjörn Jan 2025

An overall very positive experience. The boat was roomy, daytours gave us time to explore beaches and villages, good amount of time for snorkelling/swimming. Food was good, variety and well presented.
An experienced kapten who knew alot of locals and how to find best anchoring each night. Always offering to take dinghy to land if wanted.

The perfect trip

Christopher Dec 2024

Worked with Alec to plan a family vacation on a Seawind 1260. He was able to search the world for the boat we wanted. Alec found us a perfect boat in the Bahamas. It was clean and very well kept. I will 100% in the future work with Alec on my next boating trip.
