The month of May this year, has been a great month for customers to charter a Motor Boat or Yacht from Epic Charters mainly due to great weather and calm seas. We have been out to Phi Phi four times already on our Flagship Boat Escape Artist - two of which were diving trips to Koh Bida Nok and Koh Bida Nai where the clients saw Turtles, Leopard Sharks, a cuttlefish and of course the beautiful corals and anemones in the area.

Our last trip out was to Phang Nga Bay - with a Couple and our Russian Guide. With the captains knowledge of the Phang Nga Bay Islands and beaches as well as the local knowledge of the guide the couple had a fantastic day.

Escape Artist moored up at James Bond Island allowing the clients to disembark and enjoy approximately an hour on the island walking around and exploring the famous setting of the James Bond 007 movie - 'The Man with the Golden Gun"

From there we cruised around the islands visiting secluded beaches and Koh Hong which is an amazing place to explore by Kayak (Escape Artist has a two seater Kayak for clients to use) or just by swimming form the boat and walking through at low tide. The cave system is fully accessible at low tide - allowing you to walk/ swim through a tunnel into a cave that opens up into a cathedral like room with the roof being open to the sky, the sun streams through the opening and causes the water to almost shimmer. A great adventure and a fun way to spend some time during the charter exploring and swimming.

Once the clients returned to the boat they sat down to eat a freshly prepared lunch of Lobster (available by special request) and a mix of BBQ and Sea Food dishes - all purchased locally and prepared by our on board chef.

After lunch it was time to begin making our way back to Chalong, of course we stopped at Koh Kai for an hour of snorkeling on the local reef there. The clients were amazed by the wide range of reef fishes and corals and had a great time feeding the fishes that swarmed around them as we threw in bread and banannas.

Unfortunately the day had to come to an end and we slowly cruised past the islands on the way back to Chalong and moored up to meet the air conditioned limousine we had arranged to take the clients back to the hotel.

The clients were extremely happy with the trip, the food and the adventures they had had on the Day charter and are looking forward to coming back next year. Its always nice to see our customers with a big smile on their face, knowing that they had a fantastic adventure/ Charter makes our day!

We have recently added a selection of new photographs from client charter to Phang Nga Bay, Phi Phi and Racha Yai.

Recently on the 4 day charter around the Andaman Seas to Krabi, Phang Nga, Phi Phi and Racha we saw a pod of doliphins cruising around the boat - as soon as I recieve the photos I will upload them for you to look at.

A short clip showing some of the spectator views the VIP clients had on Escape Artist during the Phuket Kings Cup Regatta 2009.

The yacht racing footage shows some of the Firefly catamarans almost leaping out of the water as they hit the waves. Also shown are some of the racing sailing yachts lowering their spinnaker and some extremely close turns between two of the leading sailing yacht competitors!

The Kings Cup Regatta is held every year in Phuket. Departing from Kata Beach on the West coast of Phuket from the lovely and tranquil crescent shaped bay of Kata Beach, the fleet departs out into deeper waters and sails a variety of course over the seven day regatta.

Held every year from the 30th of November to the 6th of December, the Phuket Kings Cup Regatta boasts spectacular racing in over four classes of sail boats over a variety of courses, fantastic evening entertainment and award ceramonies and of course the awe inspiring sail past one of His Majesty's Royal Thai Naval ships.

The sail past is in honour of His Majesty's birthday on the 5th of December, where the whole regatta sailing fleet and participating boats - including the VIP Sponsor motor catamaran, Escape Artist; sail past the Navy warship while lining the decks of participating yachts and receive the salute from the Thai Navy sailors as they sail past the Royal Thai Navy Ensign.

It is one of the premier sailing events of the year and not one to be missed!
