FR Welcome to Krabi Sunset Cruises, a family-run Thai-Australian tour company offering a premium experience on the stunning waters around Krabi. Established in 2012, we operate our tours aboard a beautiful, traditional wooden junk boat, providing guests with unforgettable journeys through the islands of the Andaman Sea.
A Life By The Sea
Krabi Sunset Cruises started quite casually when the opportunity to buy a boat came our way, and we haven’t looked back since. Brother and sister duo Michael and Carolyn, originally from Sydney, Australia, found themselves in Thailand following different paths. Carolyn moved to Railay Beach in 2008 after what was meant to be a two-week holiday. Drawn by the area’s charm, she stayed, swapping her career in finance and venture philanthropy for a life by the sea.
Michael followed in 2010, initially visiting for Carolyn’s wedding to Laan, a Railay local. At the time, he was planning to move to Europe, having become tired of life in Sydney as a rope access technician. But, as it happens with many who come to Railay, he never left.
The Tour Company
We both had experience in the travel industry, and in 2012, we joined forces with our Thai family to launch Krabi Sunset Cruises. What started with an unexpected opportunity to buy a boat has since blossomed into a highly rated and sought-after tour company. Our cruises offer the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, from high-end sunset tours to gourmet breakfast experiences, along with private hire options for those looking for something more exclusive.
Having lived all over the world, Thailand is now our home, and we’re proud to share its beauty with travelers from near and far. Whether you’re kayaking around limestone cliffs, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, or just enjoying the stunning sunset on our spacious deck, our goal is to make every moment on the water a memorable one.
Our Crew
Meet the crew who make every trip feel personal. From navigating the islands to keeping an eye on you in the water, these are the faces you’ll actually see on board — a team that’s spent years working side by side, so you’re in steady, experienced hands from the moment you step aboard.
Pi Mee
The Captain
Pi Mee has been with us for nearly 10 years now — longer than anyone else on the crew, and honestly, we wouldn’t be where we are today without him.
Before joining us, Pi Mee spent years working as a fisherman, often heading out to sea for months at a time. He isn’t just the boat driver. He can pretty much do any of the jobs on the boat. From taking customers snorkeling, making cocktails, paddleboard safety and fixing anything wrong with the engine. Pi Mee feels like family to us, and to a lot of our regular guests too. If you’ve been on one of our tours, there’s a good chance he’s a big part of why it went so smoothly.
Gun
Barman
Gun has been part of our crew for years now, and if you’ve ever had a cocktail on board, there’s a good chance he made it.
As our barman and deckhand, Gun keeps things running smoothly on deck and behind the bar in equal measure — pouring drinks, keeping an eye on the boat, and somehow always knowing exactly when someone’s ready for their next round.
One thing you won’t catch him doing, though? Getting in the water. Gun is very happy to stay right where he is, shaker in hand, while everyone else swims and snorkels — and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way. Someone’s got to make sure the drinks are ready when you climb back aboard.
Nong Bae
Deck Hand
Nong Bae is Pi Mee’s son, and growing up around the boat, it’s fair to say this is in his blood.
He wears a few hats on board — deckhand, barman, and the one keeping watch over everyone in the water. At every snorkeling stop, you’ll find Nong Bae out on a paddleboard, keeping an eye on the group and making sure everyone’s safe. If you’re getting tired, he’ll paddle over and ferry you back to the boat rather than let you struggle the whole way out there.
He’s also the crew’s resident practical joker, so don’t be surprised if you end up on the receiving end of one of his pranks at some point during the day. Between the family connection and the mischief, Nong Bae is very much part of what makes a day with us feel less like a tour and more like hanging out with friends.
Pi Pae
Tour Guide
Pi Pae has been one of our tour guides for many years now, taking care of water safety and guiding guests over the reef. In that time, he’s taken thousands of people snorkeling — for a lot of them, it’s the very first time they’ve ever done it.
He’s endlessly patient with nervous first-timers, and has a knack for making the water feel a lot less intimidating once you’re actually in it with him. Ask anyone who’s snorkeled with Pi Pae and they’ll tell you the same thing: by the end, they didn’t want to get back on the boat.
Whether you’re a confident swimmer or trying snorkeling for the very first time, Pi Pae will make sure you leave the water with a big smile on your face — and probably already planning your next trip back to Krabi
Fadil
Tour Guide
Fadil has been part of our crew for a couple of years now, working as one of our tour guides and keeping an eye on water safety throughout the day. He’s made a name for himself as the guy who always knows exactly where to look.
He genuinely loves taking snorkelers out over the reef, pointing out marine life and making sure everyone’s safe in the water along the way — but his real specialty is blacktip reef sharks. Fadil has an uncanny knack for finding them, so if seeing one is on your bucket list, sticking close to him in the water is your best bet.
For a lot of guests, following Fadil into the reef is where the trip really comes alive.
Lo
Longtail Boat Driver
Lo is the newest addition to our crew. Before joining us, he spent years driving longtail boats in Railay for one of the hotels there, so he already knows these waters inside and out.
As our longtail boat driver, Lo handles the trips out to our boat and back — ferrying guests to and from shore, along with all the stock, fuel, and gear that keeps a day on the water running smoothly. It’s not the most visible job on the tour, but it’s one that everything else depends on.
Even though he’s only just joined us, Lo’s already settled in like he’s been part of the crew for years.
