Bear in mind, this is not a free ride. You are on board to help with the sailing, cooking, and/or cleaning. So only those who feel comfortable in this setting should apply. You will most probably be asked to contribute to costs, which usually can be anywhere between $10 - $50 US a day. You can also go on the internet and plan your sailing beforehand. Having this experience with a few boats already, (I have sailed on 3) I strongly recommend that you take time in finding the right vessel before you board. A prior encounter with the captain is not always possible. Since most probably you will take a flight to meet up with the boat. Or the boat will be sailing to pick you up. Exchange as much information before hand, including pictures of the exterior and interior of the vessel, equipment on board, and a description with picture of the captain and his experiences. For females, make sure the captain is not looking for a personal mate. And is serious in his request. Otherwise, my experiences were learning ones. And traveling by sea can allow you to see places you may not have by land. Often it’s also cheaper. Try making a commitment for 2 weeks at first, and extend it if all goes well. http://www.7knots.com Very Good! http://www.aimshare.com/net/advert_list_c.aspx?subcat=Sailing http://www.hypermax.com/guestbook/guestbook4.html http://www.boatcrew.net/default.asp?page=main.asp http://www.crewfile.com/cgi-local/crewfile http://marina.fortunecity.com/salmon/184/index2.html site with links to crewing opportunities; forums; crewing services; http://www.floatplan.com/index.htm http://cruiserlog.conforums.com/index.cgi updated.

If you want to visit the bay it´s necessary to take a boat, islands like Koh Panny, Koh Hong or Koh Phing Kan has no access by road. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

We wanted to go to Koh Heh for the day (or Coral Island as it is more commonly known). It is situated a few kilometers off the coast of Phuket (on the south east side). We went to Chalong Pier to have a look at the prices of getting a boat over there and met a man touting for business for his son who had a long-tail boat. He offered to take us over there the following day. We paid around 1,500 bht for 4 of us (which I think was a bit on the more expensive side - you could probably haggle and get the price down), but it was our boat for the day. He took us over there and stayed on the island until we wanted to go back. My tip for anyone travelling on a long-tail, is to pack things in plastic bags inside your rucksack as the waves can wash over the side - and wear clothes/shoes you don't mind getting wet. Our children thought it was great fun because we all got soaked - and it was......much better than going on a normal boat over there. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat
