F.A.Q.

 

How does our trip begin?
Epic Charters will provide airport to marina transfer or resort to marina transfer. Once you arrive and settle in the captain will talk with you about the facilities on board as well as a safety orientation.

And then will conclude with the itinerary of your day(s) or week(s) sailing route.

What should I bring?
If you are going on a day sail on the Escape Artist then you will need to bring swimsuits, sunscreen, camera/video (underwater), shoes (even though you won't be wearing them onboard you will need them on shore), a change of clothes is optional, some reading material. If you are planning to sail for more than one day you will add toiletries and any other personal items you wish to have with you.

What is our itinerary?
The unique charm about the Escape Artist is that when you've booked it for more than a day it's up to you as to which direction you chose to go. There will be plenty of onboard equipment to ensure that you get from one island to another with minimal efforts and maximum enjoyment.

What are the meals like?
Day sails will include a water, coffee, tea, soft drinks & beer at a nominal fee with fresh fruits trays available throughout the day

As for longer sailing excursions you will have the option to hire a live abroad cook which can prepare many fresh seafood dishes for you and your family. Please notify us in advance of special nutritional requirements.

 

What are the activities available on the boat? In the water? And on shore?
Onboard you will have many board games as well as just the ability to soak in the sun on the spacious above board deck. Inside the Escape Artist you will have electronic ranging from mp3 player, DVD player as well as the internet access. Off the boat and in the water the Escape Artist has snorkeling equipment, fishing gear and a kayak. Shore life well it depends on where you choose to anchor (c-Phuket & Around or onboard reference books for suggestions).

How much should we tip the crew?
I believe that giving a gratuity is a personal choice based on your level of appreciation to the service that was provided to you. However, we recommend that 10-15% is appropriate if your crew made your Escape Artist experience memorable.

How much spending money should we bring?
Again this is a personal choice note that the Escape Artist does have a SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX onboard

What communication system is available out at sea?
As mentioned onboard the Escape Artist you will have 24 hour internet access, mobile phone and ship to shore radio with satellite connection.
