MV Colona 6

Colona VI is a wooden hulled locally constructed liveaboard boat which visits the Similan Islands, Ko Bon, Ko Tachai, and Richelieu Rock for four-days and four-nights, and Hin Daeng/ Hin Muang/ Phi Phi Island for two-days and two-nights on a weekly departure schedule. Hin Daeng is on Friday, and the Similan trip begins each Sunday. These trips can be combined to give you six-days and six-nights on board, giving you the best diving Thailand has to offer.

On the Colona VI, space and comfort are the theme. The number of guests is limited to 14 per trip so that on this 28m boat you never feel crowded. 6 twin cabins and 1 double (request on a first-come, first-served basis). Each cabin has its own shower and toilet, and the on-board water-maker means you can take a shower whenever you like. Fitted cupboards keep personal belongings out from underfoot. Wide windows and varnished ash interiors give lots of light, and a really spacious feeling

Double-bed Cabin

Twin Cabin


Each cabin has a hidden small hotel-like refrigerator to keep your drinks cold. She supplies towels for the trip, and if you need extra towels, simply ask the helpful crew. The cabins also have wardrobes to store your clothes during the trip. All cabins are air conditioned from a central compressor adjusted by the crew on request.



Her social area or saloon is outdoors in a covered deck area. This is where meals are served buffet style, and there are four separate seating areas for the group to spread out. Drink holders are provided so that end of day beer doesn't get spilled if the boat is moving about. The rear of the upper deck as a nicely designed shaded relaxing area where you can use the cushions provided to lay down.
