We sailed out of Koh Samui, through the national park, around Koh Tao then Koh phangan and back to Koh Samui. Vagalame is well maintained, sails beautifully and heads upwind exceptionally well. Autopilot makes her a breeze to sail single handed. Simple no hassle charter, great service from Raymond and team.VerifiedPeter W12 February 2024An Adventurous and Enlightening Sailing Experience As a sailor with a few years of experience navigating the Gulf of Siam on my own yacht, I embarked on this journey with a friend who had just begun to dip his toes into the sailing world a few months prior. Our adventure was aboard a typical charter monohull through a bareboat charter, setting the stage for what was to become a trip filled with both unexpected challenges and remarkable learnings. The Good: Our trip was highlighted by moments that tested our resilience and sailing knowledge. Notably, our sail broke while we were making good speed, an incident that turned into an exhilarating experience for my friend and a testament to our ability to remain composed under pressure. The base team's prompt and efficient repair work was commendable, allowing us to continue our journey with minimal disruption. Another memorable moment was when water began gushing in through the propeller shaft. Despite the potential stress of the situation, the timing coincidentally aligned with our plans to hike to a nearby waterfall, turning a challenge into an opportunity for an unplanned adventure. The base team's swift response and repair were once again impressive, showcasing their skill and dedication. The Learning Curve: The trip served as a crash course for my friend, not only in sailing but in resilience and leadership through my MindKaizen program. The technical challenges we faced on the slightly worn boat provided real-world lessons in handling unexpected situations, a crucial skill for any sailor and leader. Tips and Recommendations: For those considering a similar sailing adventure, it's worth noting that while the boat may show signs of wear, the expertise and friendliness of the base team more than compensates for any shortcomings. Their ability to handle repairs quickly and efficiently cannot be overstated. Final Thoughts: Though our sailing time was limited by weather conditions—an uncontrollable factor—the overall experience was invaluable. The trip may have been short, but the lessons learned, and the memories made were rich and fulfilling. It's a reminder that sometimes, the journey's challenges are what make it truly memorable. I eagerly look forward to setting sail again soon.VerifiedMathieu H8 February 2024Many thanks Island Spirit team! A big thank you to the entire Island Spirit Group team for this wonderful cruise in the Koh Chang archipelago. We sailed as a family on the Island Spirit 380 in January 2024 from Koh Chang. The welcome at the base was wonderful: Raymond and his team accompanied us from A to Z. The beaches and bays are protected and there are excellent restaurants at each anchorage. It is also a paradise for snorkeling enthusiasts. We will come back, I hope, to discover the east coast of Koh Kood and its fishing villages. Many thanks Island Spirit team!VerifiedAlex H14 November 2023the all of this trip was perfect It was one of the best trip we`ve ever had, beautiful country, excellent islands, many thanks for Raymond and all the staff
