Three Charters,
One Coastline
Sundara offers three distinct ways to sail the waters around Krabi — a short evening cruise, a full-day island circuit, and a multi-day passage south. Each one is a private hire, with your group alone on the boat.
← Back to HomeHow We Plan Every Charter
Enquiry & Discussion
We ask about your group, preferred dates, and what you're hoping for. No automated forms — a real conversation.
Route & Vessel Match
We match your group to the most suitable charter and confirm tidal windows, stopping points, and timing.
Written Confirmation
You receive a written itinerary, packing list, and all meeting-point details. No ambiguity about the plan.
On the Water
The crew adapts the route to tides, wind, and your pace. Safety briefings are done before departure.

Standards That Apply on Every Trip
Private Hire Always
Every Sundara charter is a private booking. No strangers join your boat.
Safety Briefing Before Departure
All guests receive a safety orientation before leaving the harbour — life jackets, emergency procedures, and what to expect.
Dietary Requests Honoured
Vegetarian, vegan, and allergy requirements are managed with adequate notice before the charter date.
Weather-Adjusted Routes
If the forecast changes, so does the plan. The captain makes calls based on conditions, not a rigid printout.
No Single-Use Plastics
Reusable bottles, bamboo straws, and brought-ashore waste disposal are part of how we run all charters.
Written Itinerary Provided
Before your charter date, you'll receive a written overview of the route, what to bring, meeting point, and timing.
