Thank you so much for the incredible journey on the amazing vessel. We felt like we were in a fairy tale, sailing under crimson sails. The experience was unforgettable. Huge thanks to the guides for their outstanding organization - everything was TOP-NOTCH. Highly recommend it to everyone who loves the sea, sails, sunshine, and palm trees.

We took a delightful sea trip around the neighboring island of Phangan on a wooden schooner with red sails. The voyage was a bit long, but we enjoyed plenty of sea views. Through my spyglass, I could clearly see the rocks, beaches, palms, and even birds. One large, black bird persistently flew alongside the ship over the sea for quite a while. It was almost blown away by the wind, but it heroically battled against it and kept flying.
We also witnessed a rapid change in weather, which happens very swiftly here - scorching sun, strong wind, black clouds next to the stunningly turquoise sea, tropical downpours, large round raindrops on the sea's surface, everything uniformly gray and misty, sunbeams breaking through the clouds, reflections, sunspots on the water, and then blue skies and sunshine all over again.
The snorkeling stops were fantastic. The first was at a small island near Phangan, connected to it by a sandy spit that is completely submerged during high tide. In the water, there is a living coral reef and a multitude of fish. For the first time, we saw royal carp in the sea. There were also amazing striped fish, black and white, but they were flat and pearlescent! Beautiful anemones and dangerous underwater mouths were just waiting to snap up an unwary fish.
There were also larger fish, with various spots, resembling leopards and giraffes. The second stop was at a restaurant on a rocky cape jutting into the sea. There were plenty of striped fish that you could feed! Usually, in Thailand, feeding fish and other marine life is prohibited, especially in reserves, where there are hefty fines for it. But here, it was allowed. During the excursion, they gave out bread for everyone to feed the fish.
This was a very amusing activity - you had to break off a piece of white bread, dip it into the water, and wait a bit for the fish to recognize the bread as food and not a threat. When the bravest striped fish opened its mouth and took a bite, all the others would swim up, and the bread would quickly disappear. Larger yellow-gray fish would swim up from below, menacingly opening their mouths and aiming for the bread. Sometimes, they would catch your finger instead of the bread! It wasn't painful, but it was startling. I never expected the fish to tear at the bread with such force; you could really feel it. When all the bread was gone, we had nothing more to delight the fish with, so we swam off to explore the surroundings. The water was shallow, with both live and dead corals on the bottom. You swim carefully, trying not to touch them, and it feels like you're dipping your head into an aquarium. There were many different fish, but the water was a bit murky, not great for filming.
Another highlight was the delicious food on the ship, as if we had gone to a restaurant. We were fed three times - a light breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea. We ate so much that we thought we wouldn't eat again for the next couple of days!
On the way back, we were treated to a fantastic sunset! At first, the sun descended traditionally towards the sea horizon, then, a bit earlier than expected, it was swallowed up by a dense dark gray cloud over the sea and completely disappeared. But then the sun sank even lower and found a break in the cloud... And through this gap, the Eye of God looked at us. Its pupil was a perfectly round orange Sun.

Good day! In 2013, we sailed around the island on the Red Baron, back when the owner himself and his wife accompanied the excursion. It's a bit worn out now, but overall, we got everything we wanted, and there was a magnificent sunset 🙂 Thanks again.
You have a great service, thank you 👍
