MY Faah Yai was built in 1996 as a private dive yacht, and converted in 1998 to a liveaboard diving vessel. Faah Yai is running Burma only cruises, the advantages are obvious, direct access via Ranong, shorter cruising times, more dives, less stress and the advantage of sailing further North then any other MV currently operating from Phuket.
Schedule with prices & itinerary view

The bridge is set up with all the necessary navigation equipment. Faah Yai has 2engines, each with its own drive system (i.e. separate gearboxes, drive shafts and propellers).The port and starboard engines are 315 hp and are used for daytime cruising. For electrical power she has 2 independent generators. For tank filling there are 2 Coltri Sub compressors below deck.

There is a choice of the master cabin (front end of the main deck), 3 other double cabins (can be turned into triples or as twins), and 1 twin cabin.
Separate crew quarters for the 2 dive instructors & 5 Thai crew are at the upper deck
