Reunited once again with iced latte... This trip, we're seeking a unique experience: a luxurious yacht cruise. Every year, our gang makes it a point to get together at least once. Even if the whole team can't make it, we try to meet up regardless. Over the past few years, we've explored the sea, mountains, and even ventured abroad... But doing the same things repeatedly gets a bit boring. This year, we decided to open ourselves up to a new experience... Hey, gang! How about a yacht cruise this year? Pattaya's close by, just a two-hour drive... Alright, alright, let's do it! So, this trip came about after some intense research fueled by iced lattes.

This private trip was short-staffed, but still enough to charter a boat. The chosen Blue Voyage was the Leopard 384, which can accommodate 21 people. Okay, let's book this boat, but there's a catch. A few days before the cruise, the staff called to inform us that the booked boat was undergoing repairs due to storm damage. They requested a change to a morning cruise instead, but offered the Lagoon 500 Catamaran, Blue Voyage's largest boat, as compensation. Okay, morning it is, but the members coming from out of town wouldn't make it in time. The booking was for 2 pm to 10 pm, but it had to be changed to 9 am to 2 pm. The staff then offered another compensation: allowing the customers to sleep on the boat! Oh my, sleeping on a yacht was an unexpected experience. Thank you again to Blue Voyage for your excellent customer service.

This trip has some cool and awesome clips to share with you... Click to watch and share without hesitation!

The pier is located at Ocean Marina Yacht Club Pattaya. Last night, I slept while gazing at the full moon, which was an incredible experience. I woke up to beautiful weather and the first hints of cool air.

Waking up on a boat is the best! Sipping coffee surrounded by luxurious yachts.

This Lagoon 500 Catamaran is a large vessel that can accommodate 45-60 passengers. It features 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a living area, and a kitchenette equipped with a microwave, refrigerator, and air conditioning.

The fragrant aroma of flowers and the gentle sway of the boat create a soothing atmosphere, fostering a sense of tranquility and relaxation during the journey.

The bedroom will be similar to the one in the picture. It has air conditioning, a small en-suite bathroom, and a shower.

The organizers have prepared fruits, bottled water, and soft drinks. Guests are welcome to bring their own alcoholic beverages, snacks, and dairy products. Coolers and ice will be provided.

This morning, the sky is crystal clear, not a single cloud in sight.

While waiting for my friends to arrive for the meeting, I took a leisurely stroll, exploring the surroundings. As I mentioned earlier, this trip is all about changing my profile picture, so I started taking photos even before boarding the boat. 555

Arm, the staff member, was always on standby waiting for members. The service was excellent. The staff here are really lovely and polite. They took care of us since last night, taking us to the boat... I give them a thumbs up.

Shoe baskets are provided before boarding the boat for cleanliness.

Members started arriving one after another… We didn't give up on taking pictures, snapping away relentlessly. We could post pictures for a whole year.

It's time, friends! Everyone is here, and the boat is starting to move… Our first time on a yacht cruise, and even better, it's a private trip, so we don't have to worry about anyone being bothered by our loud voices. Haaaaaaa.

Captain Joe and two other crew members took care of us throughout the 5-hour journey.

The boat began to sail further away… the sea on the Gulf of Thailand side is just as beautiful.

Besides taking photos, what other activities are there on the boat? Everyone is waiting in line to take photos to update their profiles, upload to Instagram, and post on Facebook.

Free drinking water is included in the package you booked.

The all-female gang had a blast on their private boat trip. With two giant nets available, they could relax and soak up the sun in peace. The crystal-clear water, the vibrant sky, and the sound of their laughter filled the air, creating a truly unforgettable experience.

Sailing in the middle of the sea, we need a theme for our outfits. There's no color more suitable than white and blue, girl.

A boat gently floats along the water, accompanied by the sound of relaxing music that perfectly complements the serene atmosphere.

The next stop is Monkey Island, but we won't be going ashore. We'll just anchor in the middle of the sea. We're almost there… there's nothing to do yet, so let's take some more pictures and have some cold drinks to cool down.

It can be a bit lonely coming alone... haha

The strong winds today made it impossible to capture the breathtaking aerial drone footage we had envisioned. We managed to get a few shots before rushing back to shore, fearing the drone would end up at the bottom of the sea. Unfortunately, we also had to forgo our planned visit to Koh Kram. The captain informed us of the potential risks before departure, and we agreed that it was better to err on the side of caution, especially with the approaching monsoon season. Fortunately, the rain held off during our excursion.

The same old, boring photos are getting tiresome, don't you think? Let's spice things up with a jumping competition! Who has the most impressive pose wins... Ready, set, jump!

A trip that brought smiles to everyone's faces, filled with laughter.

Children are also welcome, and best of all, it's free! Enjoy a happy family outing.

The boat has arrived! Are you ready for some water activities?

Camera ready, people ready.

Small inflatable boats with services available. Take a tour in the middle of the sea. Scream like you're riding a banana boat.

Those who want to see how much fun it was, please watch the clip above... It's the best! The staff prepared unicorn and pony floats for us, but... because everyone was busy taking pictures on the boat, we didn't realize until we reached the shore. It was so sad. Our dreams were washed away with the seawater. T_T Will there be another trip to make up for it? Will there be another one? 😭

The ladies who were afraid of getting their hair wet stayed on the boat, basking in the sun and wind.

This concludes the yacht cruise trip with this image. Further details will be provided at the end of the review.

Arriving at the pier at 2 pm, it's time to relax. The goal of this trip was to stay together as a family, without being by the sea. We didn't mind if there was no sea view, but we wanted a swimming pool and a place to barbecue. We chose The Ville Jomtien, a large house with 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and a private swimming pool. There was an interesting promotion for 11,470 baht, which could accommodate 12 people, averaging 955 baht per person.

The bedrooms resemble standard hotel rooms. The master bedroom features direct access to the swimming pool, while the remaining bedrooms share an external bathroom.

The house will be divided into two separate buildings, but there will be a connecting door. There is a dining table, kitchen equipment, pots, pans, plates, bowls, spoons, a rice cooker, and even a grill. However, we're too tired to grill, haha! We'll just buy ready-made food. It's enough to eat rice and seafood with spicy dipping sauce together. The common area of this room will have a long sofa and a TV.

The other house has a pool table in the common area, which is great for entertainment and is used frequently. The dining table and kitchen are similar to the other house, making it ideal for family vacations and group gatherings.

The swimming pool area is divided into two separate pools.

To conclude our trip, we visited The Sky Gallery, where we enjoyed refreshing drinks and delicious pastries while taking in the stunning ocean views. The prices are relatively high, but considering the view and location, it was worth it. For a group of 10, 10 drinks, and 4 types of desserts, the total cost was 2,000 baht.

Regarding the details of the various aspects of the Blue Voyage yacht cruise, the largest vessel we used today was the Lagoon 500 Catamaran. The half-day trip lasted 5 hours and was divided into two segments.

- Morning 9:00-14:00 // Afternoon 14:00-19:00 Half-day price is 65,000 baht for 45-61 people (this price is for 45 people, 1,000 baht per person for 46 people and above)

For smaller groups, the Leopard 384 can accommodate up to 21 passengers for a half-day trip at a cost of 29,900 baht, or approximately 3,000 baht per person. This price includes 10 passengers, with an additional 1,000 baht per person for each additional passenger. This option provides a luxurious and private yachting experience for groups seeking a unique adventure.

In conclusion, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to Blue Voyage for their exceptional hospitality throughout our trip. The captain, crew, and staff were all incredibly courteous and professional, making our experience truly unforgettable. We were particularly impressed by their dedication to ensuring our comfort and enjoyment, and we left with nothing but smiles. We highly recommend Blue Voyage to anyone seeking an unforgettable sailing adventure, and we look forward to returning for another trip in the future. https://www.facebook.com/bluevoyagethailand/
