Established in 2016, The Junk Liveaboards has become an industry leader in offering traditional and iconic liveaboard diving throughout the picturesque Thai Andaman sea. With a variety of itineraries, there is no better way to experience the underwater sites of the Similan & Surin Islands, and the Southern Andaman also.
Safety is paramount on our vessels, and we pride ourselves on the level of service that we provide our guests. We have a 97% ‘Excellent’ review rating with Tripadvisor (accurate as of Aug ‘24 | 383 reviews), so you can be confident your guests will be well looked after to the highest degree when joining our cruises.
Although we offer The Junk directly, we are also the owner/ground operators of The Phinisi (aka Thailand Master), available under the Master Liveaboards banner.
