About this boat
Ella is a Silkline, one of only four ever built, and that rarity is not a marketing line — it is why she does not look or feel like the production catamarans around her. The Silkline was drawn with an unusually open front section: large windows and doors that fold back so the saloon and the huge shaded cockpit become a single space, which on a boat carrying forty guests is the difference between a crowd and a party that flows. Built in 2009 at fifty-three feet, she has two day cabins and two bathrooms with a freshwater shower, and a crew of three — captain, crew and host. Two wide trampolines forward take the sunbathers; the shaded cockpit takes everyone else, and a Bluetooth sound system with USB charging runs throughout.
Her cruising speed of seven knots sets the range: from Chalong Pier the day is Maiton, Coral Island or the Racha islands, chosen for the anchorage rather than for the distance. Snorkelling gear, a paddleboard and a kayak are included. Twenty-six thousand baht for the whole boat on a low-season morning at Coral Island; air conditioning is a paid option at 3,000 baht. She is the right choice for a birthday, a wedding party or a company day where forty people need to be comfortable and the budget matters.
She is the wrong one for a couple, for an overnight, and for anyone hoping to reach Phi Phi. A practical point about chartering a rare boat: parts and fittings for a hull built in small numbers are harder to source, which is why the owner keeps her carefully rather than hard. Guests notice this as a boat that feels looked after — the trampolines are taut, the cushions are sound, and nothing is held together with the improvisation you sometimes find on a budget day boat.

Payment

- Accepted currencies: Thai baht, US dollars and Russian roubles.
What are the charter hours?
- Charter times are between 09:00 and 19:00.
- Please be on time — the yacht returns at the agreed hour, and a late start shortens the trip rather than extending it.
- Programmes and timing depend on weather and sea conditions. If the weather makes the planned route unworkable, we agree what to do with you individually — there is no single fixed rule, and the options depend on the boat, the date and how far the plan has to change.
- If you ask to change the departure point, the relocation is agreed separately — the boat is berthed where it is berthed, and moving it costs time and fuel.
What do you pay separately?
- National park fees, where they apply.
- Lunch on short charters — check the inclusions on the boat's own page.
- Optional extras and relocation fees.
What each boat includes differs. The exact list is on every yacht page under «Trip inclusions» and «Not included».
