It is over 25 meters long and almost 6 meters wide. It features a spacious triple stateroom, 4 guest cabins, 6 bathrooms, 3 dining areas (indoor and outdoor) – with so much space you could almost forget that you are actually spending your holiday on a yacht. After being welcomed aboard, your yacht will set sail to the south bay of Zardet Kyee Kyun. Have a light lunch on board while sailing.

Afterwards we will set sail towards Kyet Mauk Island – famous for its pristine turquoise lagoon – where you will enjoy some snorkeling time (the schedule between these 2 visits can be reversed according to tide time and best snorkelling time). Eat lunch on board and slowly sail north towards St Andrew Group, where the yacht will anchor near MacLeod Island. Dinner & overnight stay on board.

Meta IV
Meta IV was designed by the naval architect Thomas E. Colvin, who gave the vessel her beautiful shape and robust hull. She is made entirely of Thai teak, one of the best woods for building classic boats. Meta IV was constructed in 1998 as a private yacht for a Swiss businessman who made his fortune in hotels. In 2010, the Austrian skipper Herbert Mayrhauser found her at a pier in Phuket and immediately fell in love. After two years of intensive restoration work and refitting, Meta IV started her new life as a luxury charter vessel in the fall of 2012.
Meta IV measures 85 feet in length or 25 metres. That's longer than the Santa Maria, the boat that Columbus sailed into history when he discovered the Americas. In fact, with all her space, you could almost forget you were holidaying on a yacht. The sheer size, and the facilities on board, make for a holiday getaway that your family or friends won't forget.
