The day I spent on the SY Nakamal was one of the best days of my vacation. Right from the moment I stepped aboard I felt very welcomed and taken care of.

Could not have asked for a more perfect experience! Hired the boat with 10 friends, sailed out to a beautiful deserted island, swam, snorkeled, ate great food, had an amazing time with great people. Dieter and his wife looked after us and made sure we had everything we needed. I could not recommend them more warmly if they were my... More

We saw turtles,... More

We spontaniously boarded the Nakamal in Koh Lipe and went sailing on a four day trip with Phuket as our final destination. We got to enjoy the Thai archipelago in a manner simply not possible with the cramped tourist ferries. Snorkling around "turtle island" as the only people around was amazing and getting to see and visit serene white beaches... More
