Meet our first Thailand baby – Nyami !
Built in Australia with world cruising comfort in mind, Nyami’s expansive living areas and cabins make her the perfect sailing home for the tropics.
With a saloon big enough for a dance floor, and “real bed” sized cabins, she’s also ideal for mixed groups with couples and singles, or families with kids. The forward cabins are luxuriously-sized queen beds, with en suites. The two aft cabins can be set up as either 2 single beds or convert to seriously huge king-size doubles.
Onboard are two 2-person sea kayaks and plenty snorkelling gear for all. The cockpit has full hard-top coverage from those tropical rays; and when anchored or motoring, we can rig a huge suntent over the trampoline area up f’ard.
Nyami also offers a shareboat (“cabin charter”) option, where you can join a fun group of like-minded adventurers as a single or couple.

Meet the Crew
Cap’n Ray – aka our very own marine engineer; so if it goes wrong, it’s all his fault :). Also known to lead unsuspecting guests astray in the infamous “Why Not” bar….at least his jokes get a little funnier after a few Changs!
Cap’n Di – yes, we are co-captains when we are both onboard Nyami; a source of great entertainment for our guests, as we try hard to be diplomatic when it comes to eg, “where to drop the anchor”. Boats being female, it must follow that a girlie skipper knows best, right??
Our chef Nui – by far the most important member of our crew. She could be running a 5 star restaurant if she chose; our sailors keep threatening to steal her away home with them! She spoils us with amazing Thai & western spreads, birthday cakes, pina coladas…everything with her inimitable Cheshire Cat smile.
