Simpson Marine’s 2022 Thailand Lagoon Escapade departed from Ao Po Grand Marina, on the morning
of Friday October 14th, a three-day, two-night event this time round. It started off with a skip- per’s briefing from senior yacht brokers Justin Longdon, and Sten Van Aardt Simpson Marine Thailand’s Charter Base Manager, at D’ Deck at Ao Po Grand Marina.
Justin said it took a massive amount
of effort to organize the Escapade and he paid tribute to Office Manager Bee Cummins and Sales Admin Senior Executive Rin Chatkasem for putting it all together.
In this Escapade there were eleven Lagoons in all, five operated by their individual owners: a Lagoon 380 (Sunkissed), a Lagoon 40 (K-35), a Lagoon 421 (Shaken not Stern), a Lagoon 450 (Blue Icon), a Lagoon 620 (Six Degrees).
The remaining six Lagoons were in Simpson Marine’s care: a Lagoon 52F (Blue Moon), a Lagoon 52 (Eclipse), three Lagoon 42s (P & B, Cloud Dancer & Maralyn), and a Lagoon 400S2 (EOS). Another catamaran, a Lagoon 500 (00SEVEN) was supposed to join the fleet as well but its owner unfortunately had to cancel at the last minute. Along for the ride was a Beneteau Flyer 8.8 (Nauti One), which is also available for day charter.
Though it was overcast as the flotilla headed out from the marina in a V formation towards Koh Roi, the sky eventually cleared and the stunning karst topography of Phang Nga Bay was a sight to behold. Many have claimed, and rightly so, that this area is home to some of the world’s most spectacular cruis- ing grounds.
