Charter Options
Three Ways to Spend Time on the Water
From a short afternoon cruise to a multi-day voyage — all private, all departing from Chalong Pier.
← Back to HomeOur Planning Approach
Before any charter departs, we take time to understand who's on board and what they're hoping for. That conversation shapes the trip.
Initial Conversation
You reach out with your dates, group size, and any specific interests. We ask questions, share options, and outline what each charter type involves.
Itinerary Planning
Once a charter type is confirmed, we draft a route and discuss it with you. The plan stays flexible until departure and remains adjustable on the water.
Departure and Beyond
On the day, the crew meets you at Chalong Pier, runs through safety, and gets underway. From there, the day unfolds at your pace.

Departure is in the morning or early afternoon.
