We have been on fabulous family sailing holidays over the past few years but this one was out of this world - the boat, the sailing area, the crew, everything was perfect. The boat is beautifully laid out with lovely cabins, unlimited water in the shower (a rare treat) and plenty of space to relax both inside and out. We were made to feel instantly at home and confident that Paul and Debbie were running a very safe and knowledgeable operation. We sailed around the Mergui Archipelago in Burma for a week and only saw one other boat. We moored off fabulous white sandy beaches, swam in crystal clear water, snorkeled, fished, hiked and were shown hidden rivers, traditional villages and amazing wildlife by Paul whose enthusiasm was contagious and depth of knowledge incredible. Meanwhile Debbie was creating the most delicious and bountiful meals - fresh muffins, tasty curries, bbqed lobster, and one lunch an incredible sashimi with the tuna that we had just caught off the back of the boat. Nothing was too much trouble - a cold gin and tonic whilst lazing in the hammock or climbing up the mast in the bosun chair to take a family photo for us. We had so much fun and can’t wait to book another trip.

From the moment the water taxi brought us alongside to when we bid a sad farewell, our experience and enjoyment on board Asia knew no bounds. The cabin accommodation is carefully designed so there is no chance of "cabin envy" and the rest of the yacht is perfectly configured. The crew were the greatest company and Paul gave us enormous confidence with his extensive knowledge of the Burmese Archipelago which is essential in the absence of any accurate charts. Debbie had the galley and most other aspects of the running of the boat under perfect control and we could never ask for more. We found exclusive anchorages every night and , in spite of her heavy displacement, we sailed most satisfactorily every day.
We could not recommend SY Asia and her lovely crew more highly.response / report this review -

I spent 10 days on sailing yacht Asia on january of this year in the Andaman islands area, together with my wife and three more couples.
The beauty of the sites was in line with our expectations.
What was far beyond was the family atmosphere and the quality of
the services we experienced on the boat: food,fishing,ground excursions
under the skilful guide of Paul made our stay unforgettable.
We do look forward to renewing and reliving these moments in an hopefully near future.response / report this review -

Paul and Debbie will put together the best trip of your lifetime. We have had a semi-annual vacation with them for about 7 years now and they consistently deliver an amazing experience in some of the most beautiful parts of the world. Here is what makes them special:
The yacht is fabulous
The food is amazing
The service is as good as a 5 star hotel
The best part is, this hotel will go to the most remote, unspoiled, and lovely parts of the planet. There is nothing like waking up in the morning, having a latte, and jumping off the back deck in to pristine waters with untouched coral reef, thousands of fish, and nothing but a whole day of adventure and activity in front of you. It's just like warren miller says at the end of every ski movie that gets you pumped up for the season -- "make your reservation now, or you'll just be a year older when you finally go"response / report this review -

Once in a Lifetime Trip, you have to take a trip on SY Asia
What an incredible trip. SY Asia was beyond all expectations. As we stepped aboard we could not believe this was really ours to enjoy. The yacht is huge, and so well laid out, that it just flows, at anchor or sailing between islands (the most beautiful sailing in the world) moving around the yacht is super easy and relaxing. My wife loved the cabin layout (me, i loved how clean the engine room was) and the overall comfort level of the yacht. We were both blown away by the meals, we thought being on a boat would mean some basic food, but wow were we wrong. Breakfast, Lunch and dinner were all 5 star plus. The days we caught fish, it went from our pole to the table and we enjoyed the freshest meal I have ever had. Captains Paul and Debbie were outstanding, their local knowledge, ocean knowledge and even plant and animal knowledge surpassed all expectations. Paul took us on incredible outings to local villages, hikes in the most remote places, and of course snorkeling, diving, fishing and general site seeing. Can't say enough great things about the trip. The area was stunning, we explored/wandered huge beaches with not another human to be seen. Sunsets were the best I have ever seen. Booking another trip for a Indonesia trip now.response / report this review -

We now have a moment in Barbados to write about our experience on S/Y Asia. As you know we sail a great deal, but our time on board was the best to date. From start to finish your planning was exemplary and even prior to setting on board you had arranged transport from Phuket to the boat's mooring in Burma. On board everything was taken care of from excellent breakfasts ready whenever we were to a constant supply of original non alcoholic cocktails offered with such a great smile by Ashley. Both barbecue fish and freshly baked bread by Debbie were perfect. However Paul it was gentle persuasion to encourage us to take full advantage of the snorkelling and natural beauty of the Mergui Archipelago that was exceptional. Such memories will be forever treasured. We would be happy for you to use this on your website if you so choose. We were four couples and we would recommend that as the perfect maximum. Everything worked flawlessly aboard the yacht.
Two comments for anyone reading this. First given the lack of Internet on board, if you do not hear back from the boat when you send emails, do not worry, they are just out of range and will respond as soon as they are back. Second the four cabins can be made up as four doubles or two doubles and two twins. Please let them know what you want. Our lack of clarity meant over 500 bottles of wine had to be moved to accommodate us twice! This reflects how nothing was too much trouble for Paul and Debbie. It also highlights how much very reasonably priced wine is at your disposal!
Last we will be booking our next voyage with you soon just like most of your clients!response / report this review
