Crewed yacht charter with Asia Marine - Meroja
S/Y Meroja is an 85 foot ketch, especially designed for comfortable cruising in the tropical waters of the Andaman Sea.  The yacht offers guest accommodation in 5 private cabins: 2 doubles, 2 twin and one larger triple berth main cabin.   All are fully air conditioned and have their own en-suite bathroom facilities. With accommodation for up to 11 passengers on extended overnight cruising, S/ Y Meroja is the ideal pleasure boat to explore Phuket' s many picturesque off- shore islands.

Launched in 1998, S/Y Meroja was built in Phuket by local craftsmen under the supervision of experienced European boat builders.  She offers guests a unique opportunity to discover and explore the exotic islands of the Andaman Sea in both comfort and style.  The saloon combines dining and seating facilities for twelve, as well as an integrated fully equipped gourmet galley.  Guests can also dine on the aft deck around the comfortable deck table.  With a large fixed cockpit canopy as well as canvas canopies fore and aft, there is plenty of room on deck to laze around on cushions in the shade and enjoy the magnificent scenery or catch up on some sleep.
