M/V Mermaid2 runs Thailand and Komodo liveaboard safaris year round visiting the best sites each area has to offer at the best times.
From November to May we cruise the beautiful Andaman sea in Thailand visiting the Similan islands and Richelieu rock in the north
and Hin Daeng and Koh Phi Phi in the south.
From
May to October you will find us in the Lesser Sunda islands in Indonesia doing our amazing week long Bali to Komodo liveaboard where you get the chance to walk with the legendary Komodo
dragons.
Mermaid 2 was built and started her duty in the year 2000 and since that time she has been constantly improved upon and after eight years of cruising experience she is in the best shape of her career.
Secure in her standing as one of Thailand's premier liveaboards she is also one of the only motor cruisers to travel through the Lesser sunda islands of Bali and Komodo.
I can honestly say that she is quite possibly the best in her class and provides some of the most comfortable and diver friendly liveaboard diving around - Special offers
M/V Mermaid 2 is a 32 metre, double engine steel motor yacht, one of the most comfortable diver boats around, she easily accommodates 16 guests in 8 deluxe cabins and 2 guests in a budget cabin below deck.
All
deluxe cabins are on the main deck with large panoramic sea view windows. Each cabin has a double bed and single bed (max pax 2 per cabin), air conditioning, ensuite bathrooms. The budget cabin is below deck with twin bunks, air conditioning and a large shared bathroom with 1 other cabin. The large and comfotable saloon is more reminiscent of a family room at home than the saloon on a boat - it has 4 comfy chairs and 2 large sofas and has all the latest electronics - dvd, flat screen tv and stereo. There is also tea and fresh ground coffee making facilities and fridge to keep the beer, wine and soft drinks cold, we hope you will feel right at home.
Our 8 double a/c cabins offer all the comforts you need. Deluxe cabins offer a large panoramic window. All cabins offer private en-suites with hot water showers and sink, camera-charging outlet, storage space, wardrobe and life jackets.

The sundeck, located in front of the wheelhouse has a full sun, cushioned lounging area that is not only great for catching some rays but also for watching the sun set with a beer. EANX NITROX is available on every Indonesia and Thailand liveaboard.

The Bathrooms use normal amenities, western toilet, hot water shower and hand basin with outside window and extractor fan.
