Perfect for a romantic getaway or a small family, the Mami Wata Yacht offers a slice of maritime history as the vintage wooden vessel is the epitome of nautical nostalgia. This charming time capsule was constructed in 1954 by Halvorsen Boats when ship design was all about exceptional elegance and classic craftsmanship. The Mami Wata underwent a full refit in 2023. The 15-meter-long boat rental comfortably accommodates up to four guests overnight in two cozy cabins or as many as eight persons on deck for a day trip.

Your Host and The Team


“Captain Adun, currently commanding all charters aboard Mami Wata, hails from Thailand's Northeast. He began his maritime life as a deckhand and engineer in the early 2000s when he relocated to the south, driven by a profound love for fishing. He has over 15 years’ experience as a certified captain and has expertly navigated a variety of vessels. Captain Adun is passionate about revealing the enchanting beauty of Phuket to Mami Wata’s guests from all over the world, combining his deep local knowledge with exceptional hospitality to create unforgettable experiences.”


Maritime History and Marine Memories on the Mami Wata Yacht, Phuket

Below deck of the Mami Wata yacht Phuket are two spacious cabins where guests can retreat from the sun and share time together in the cooling air-conditioning. A masterpiece of retro varnished teak and polished brass design, the Mami Wata boat Phuket interior is equipped with all the modern amenities needed for a comfortable sea adventure including power points and a shared bathroom with washing facilities and a piping hot shower. Plenty of large windows flood the cabins and indoor lounge with light and a well-stocked galley provides guests of the Mama Wata private yacht Phuket with customizable catering options including a smorgasbord of freshly caught sea fish. Up on deck, there is plenty of room for Mama Wata guests to find their sea legs or recline on comfortable sun beds. Additional seating is supplied around the large dining table where there is space for games, charting a course around the Phi Phi islands, or enjoying good conversation and a cocktail with unforgettable views over the Andaman Sea. And for those enjoying the nostalgia of this 70-year-old private yacht charter, Phuket, there is a Gramaphone in the galley to provide a symphonic soundtrack to the sea trip.

In charge of cruising the crystal-clear waters of the Andaman on the Mama Wata Yacht is the very capable Captain Adun. Having climbed through the ranks from deckhand to engineer, Captain Adun journeyed to southern Thailand for the fishing and new nautical adventures. Having taken charge of yacht charters for nearly two decades, Captain Adun now enjoys welcoming guests aboard the Mama Wata and sharing his knowledge of the waters and islands off the coast of Phuket while protecting the legacy of Lars Halvorsen and the maritime craftsmanship of his shipbuilding team while adding new stories to the life of the incredible Mama Wata Yacht.
