"Unspoilt paradise with a fantastic crew"
Reviewed January 28, 2015
We sailed the Mergui archipelago with Bob's team for 10 days and it was one of the best trips we've ever had. For a start, Bob left no stone unturned to ensure everything was organised well in advance, including sending us photos of which wines he could buy on our behalf! We exchanged so many entertaining emails that he felt like one of the family before we even arrived in Thailand. Even though the boat (Oasis) might not be as new as some of the catamarans which are advertised, this was excellent value for money and the boat was fast and very stable. The catamaran was spacious, comfortable and very well equipped with everything you need, both for safety and for luxury. Captain Nong was a fantastic skipper, with a great sense of humour and his assistant, Oi, an excellent cook. It was very reassuring to discover that he was also a chef, and she a sailor! We visited a few quite 'off the beaten track' places and were determined to do some kitesurfing where the locals had never seen a kite - Captain Nong happily searched for just the right places, instinctively knowing which beaches would have the right wind, depth and aspect. We will definitely do this trip again, with Bob's team.

OASIS's interior is a blend of light ash timbers with contrasting Western Red Cedar trims complimented by soft grey fabric wall coverings and light white embossed laminated panels. Ventilation, pleasant temperature and comfort aboard are of primary concern.The yacht features three en-suite queen-size cabins with their own bathroom and shower facilities and one en-suite double cabin with bathroom/shower nearby. All cabins are well-ventilated with fans in each cabin and opening hatches. OASIS's crew is accommodated forward in their own private cabins.
The airy saloon is spacious with a U-shaped couch around a central dining table, seating 10 persons comfortably.In the saloon you also find a flatscreen TV, the DVD sytem.
A convenient and well-stocked galley with stainless bench tops is located in the port (left) hull and is fitted with a 5-burner gas stove and stainless oven/griller. Fresh coffee brewed any time of the day.
Above decks
Above decks OASIS is huge, taking into account she is 48 feet x 25 feet. OASIS is fitted with an aluminium fixed awning for protection from the sun and the occasional tropical shower.Under the fixed roof is the central helm station. The uncluttered decks with wide walkways make her a safe vessel for children. One can also laze in the bow netting during passages and sleep under the stars if wished. A flexible, removable bow awning gives you sun protection on the foredeck and in the bow nets.
Access to the water is easy with a swim platform, swim ladder plus a deck shower conveniently located at the port transom.
