Description
Boat
Gentle Giant is a purpose-built 27 m long and 6 m wide wooden liveaboard designed for comfort, safety and relaxed cruising throughout the iconic dive regions of the Andaman Sea.
Gentle Giant operates with twin diesel engines and provides a steady cruising experience. There are several areas where you can relax on board, alone or with others.
Gentle Giant’s layout focuses on social and relaxation spaces as well as practical dive operations. Inside, there is an air-conditioned saloon/lounge with a large TV screen for viewing dive photos, movies or simply unwinding after the day’s dives.
Dining onboard features a blend of Thai and international cuisine, freshly prepared and served buffet-style throughout the trip. Meals typically include breakfast, lunch and dinner with a selection of snacks and soft drinks available during the day.
The sundeck is large, and there are several sun loungers and bean bags. You can top up your suntan or enjoy the clear star-filled night sky. The upper deck has the master cabin and two standard cabins.
Also on the upper deck is the dining area, where delicious meals are enjoyed and dive briefings are held. And let’s not forget the lounge saloon that has air-conditioning, a TV, and a sofa.
