Hobie Cat’s are small sailing catamarans that allow you to experience nature on its best , cruising with your family and friends on the magical Gulf of Thailand with or without instructor.

– The Hobie Cat Getaway can carry up to 5 persons.

– For rentals, we require that you have about 20h experience at least by your own on a small catamaran such as Hobie Cat.
You need to know how to bring back up the boat in case you capsize.

Some people believe that the word “Samui” derives from the Malay word “saboey”, or “safe haven”, from the sea it looks a lot like Peter Pan’s Neverland . When you are floating by Lamai beach.

Hin Ta Hin Yai and the South part of the island you will feel what Samui mean. Barracuda , sea turtles and often dolphins are spotted . Weather depending it is possible to reach the other island Koh Matsum.
