Bienvenue à Krabi Sunset Cruises, une entreprise familiale thaïlandaise et australienne qui propose une expérience haut de gamme sur les magnifiques eaux de Krabi. Fondée en 2012, elle organise ses excursions à bord d'une magnifique jonque traditionnelle en bois, offrant à ses clients des voyages inoubliables à travers les îles de la mer d'Andaman.
Une vie au bord de la mer
Krabi Sunset Cruises a débuté de manière tout à fait fortuite lorsque l'occasion d'acheter un bateau s'est présentée, et nous n'avons jamais regardé en arrière depuis. Michael et Carolyn, frère et sœur originaires de Sydney, en Australie, se sont retrouvés en Thaïlande en suivant des chemins différents. Carolyn s'est installée à Railay Beach en 2008 après ce qui ne devait être que deux semaines de vacances. Attirée par le charme de la région, elle est restée, troquant sa carrière dans la finance et la philanthropie pour une vie au bord de la mer.
Michael a suivi en 2010, d'abord pour le mariage de Carolyn avec Laan, un habitant de Railay. À l'époque, il prévoyait de s'installer en Europe, fatigué de sa vie à Sydney en tant que technicien cordiste. Mais, comme c'est le cas pour beaucoup de ceux qui viennent à Railay, il n'est jamais reparti.
La société de tourisme
Nous avions tous deux de l'expérience dans l'industrie du voyage et, en 2012, nous avons uni nos forces à celles de notre famille thaïlandaise pour lancer Krabi Sunset Cruises. Ce qui a commencé par une opportunité inattendue d'acheter un bateau s'est depuis transformé en une compagnie touristique très appréciée et recherchée. Nos croisières offrent un mélange parfait de détente et d'aventure, des excursions haut de gamme au coucher du soleil aux expériences de petit-déjeuner gastronomique, ainsi que des options de location privée pour ceux qui recherchent quelque chose de plus exclusif.
Après avoir vécu dans le monde entier, la Thaïlande est désormais notre maison, et nous sommes fiers de partager sa beauté avec les voyageurs d'ici et d'ailleurs. Que vous fassiez du kayak autour de falaises de calcaire, de la plongée avec masque et tuba dans des eaux cristallines ou que vous profitiez simplement d'un magnifique coucher de soleil sur notre spacieux pont, notre objectif est de faire de chaque moment passé sur l'eau un moment mémorable.
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
Barmen
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.
