Hello everyone! 😊
Today, I have prepared a comprehensive guide for those planning a liveaboard diving trip in Phuket, Thailand.
This post, “2026–2028 Thailand Phuket Liveaboard Guide,” introduces five liveaboards that are attracting attention from divers exploring the Thailand Andaman Sea:
🤿 VELA LIVEABOARD
🤿 ARUNA VOYAGER
🤿 TAPANA CATAMARAN
🤿 AQUARIAN SC
🤿 ISSARA LIVEABOARD
We will take a closer look at the prices, cabin types, schedules, diving programs, and booking information for all five liveaboards, making it easier to compare the different options.
When choosing a liveaboard, it is important not to focus only on the price. You should also consider the size of the vessel, cabin type, departure schedule, number of dives, main dive sites, inclusions, and your overall travel style.
For those planning their trip during the 2026–2028 seasons, it is also recommended to check early-bird promotions and cabin availability in advance, especially if you have a preferred travel date or cabin type.
I hope this post will be helpful not only for first-time liveaboard travelers, but also for divers planning a trip with friends, family, or diving groups.
So, let’s take a closer look at these five Thailand Phuket liveaboards for 2026–2028, one by one.
Please read until the end. 😊
I hope this information helps you prepare for an enjoyable and memorable diving trip in Thailand. 🤿🐠
