Bienvenido a Krabi Sunset Cruises, una empresa turística tailandesa-australiana de gestión familiar que ofrece una experiencia de primera en las impresionantes aguas que rodean Krabi. Fundada en 2012, realizamos nuestras excursiones a bordo de un hermoso barco junco de madera tradicional, ofreciendo a los huéspedes viajes inolvidables por las islas del mar de Andamán.
Una vida junto al mar
Krabi Sunset Cruises empezó de forma bastante casual, cuando se nos presentó la oportunidad de comprar un barco, y desde entonces no hemos mirado atrás. El dúo de hermanos Michael y Carolyn, originarios de Sydney (Australia), se encontraron en Tailandia siguiendo caminos diferentes. Carolyn se trasladó a Railay Beach en 2008 tras unas vacaciones de dos semanas. Atraída por el encanto de la zona, se quedó y cambió su carrera en finanzas y filantropía empresarial por una vida junto al mar.
Michael nos siguió en 2010, inicialmente con motivo de la boda de Carolyn con Laan, un nativo de Railay. Por aquel entonces, planeaba mudarse a Europa, cansado de la vida en Sídney como técnico de acceso mediante cuerdas. Pero, como ocurre con muchos de los que vienen a Railay, nunca se fue.
La empresa turística
Ambos teníamos experiencia en el sector de los viajes y, en 2012, unimos fuerzas con nuestra familia tailandesa para poner en marcha Krabi Sunset Cruises. Lo que empezó con una oportunidad inesperada de comprar un barco se ha convertido en una empresa turística muy valorada y solicitada. Nuestros cruceros ofrecen la mezcla perfecta de relajación y aventura, desde excursiones de alta gama al atardecer a experiencias de desayuno gourmet, junto con opciones de alquiler privado para aquellos que buscan algo más exclusivo.
Después de haber vivido en todo el mundo, Tailandia es ahora nuestro hogar, y estamos orgullosos de compartir su belleza con viajeros de cerca y de lejos. Ya sea paseando en kayak por acantilados de piedra caliza, buceando en aguas cristalinas o simplemente disfrutando de la impresionante puesta de sol en nuestra espaciosa cubierta, nuestro objetivo es hacer que cada momento en el agua sea memorable.
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.
