Agent Liveaboard – MV Oktavia Liveaboard

MV Oktavia Liveaboard is the very best value for money Liveaboard you will find for diving in the Similan Islands, Surin Islands and Richelieu Rock from Phuket in Thailand MV Oktavia Liveaboard was built in 2003, and refurbished in 2007 to bring her up to her fine high standards and provide added comforts and space.

MV Oktavia is one of the only boats to offer 2 days/2 nights and 3 days/2 nights cruises in the Similan and Surin Islands. Oktavia Liveaboard is 30m long and 6,5m wide, and weighing 149 tons. Her size and weight makes her sit very steady in the water and her huge dive deck means lots of kitting up room. She has a wooden hull, which more effectively reduces engine noise. There is two very large and comforting Master Ensuite Cabins and 13 Blue Ocean Cabins with triple share and twin share availability. The boat is one of the most attractive boats to families and groups with children and the staff are very well prepared to welcome babies and kids of all ages specifically to private charters with adventure-a-plenty planned to keep them occupied. So parents can enjoy the diving.

The huge sundeck makes you feel on top of the world and the party deck offers lots of comfortable seating for reading books, sharing stories and eating your way through the sumptuous food on offer morning, noon and night. Agent Liveaboard verdict: A great value for money Similan Liveaboard diving option with shorter trip availability to Similan Islands in Thailand and perfect for families, groups and private charters.
