My wife and I experienced the adventure of a lifetime sailing in Thailand with Ebb. Rob and Shelley were the most gracious and adventurous hosts imaginable. This was our first time staying on any type of vessel and we fell in love with waking up in the mornings on the water with the most beautiful sights and views. Sailing on the catamaran from one adventure to the next was beyond relaxing! No taxis and shuttles sitting in traffic! The food on and off the catamaran was varied and delicious. I was never disappointed!  We felt so safe with Rob as our captain with his superb knowledge and skill. Shelley planned the most amazing itinerary for our trip! Each and every day could have been its own stand-alone vacation! It was a perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. Thailand exceeded any expectation we had in beauty, serenity and enjoyment. We absolutely loved snorkeling in the clean, warm water filled with life, kayaking and hiking through the lush and breath-taking natural gardens, exploring Thai villages, the massage, the food, and relaxing on picture perfect beaches. This is a trip everyone should take at least once in their life!

We are avid travelers and have been all over the world. Our Thailand sailing charter with Ebb is one of the most enjoyable trips we have ever taken. The countless hours of preparation certainly speak for the success of the trip. Rob and Shelley have the knowledge and experience and have done the necessary research to create a flawless experience. We received the itinerary, travel tips, and a list of necessary items to bring months in advance. Every day was filled with adventure, amazing beauty, and delicious meals. We traveled with a diverse group of family members ranging in age from 30 to 60. We all got along splendidly, with options ranging from a full active day, to a mellow day soaking up the sun on the deck. The absolute highlight of the trip was a kayak trip through a labyrinth of lush mangroves and magnificent rock formations. It was both magical and serene with incredible photo opportunities around every corner. There is nothing that Rob and Shelley have forgotten or left undiscovered in creating this unbelievable itinerary. It was a week of perfection in every way. We would highly recommend this charter for anyone that would like to see the islands of Thailand at their best!

Our family had the opportunity to sail Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands with Ebb Charters. Our trip was extraordinary! Sailing around these tropical islands was beautiful and each day was perfectly planned with novel and enjoyable activities. We did quite a bit of skin diving and were amazed by the number and variety of fish and sea creatures. We explored secluded coves and quiet beaches with white sand and aqua water. We hiked through rainforests and were awed by the stunning flora and fauna. We enjoyed the culture of the local towns and the island vibe of the beach front bars. We spent a memorable Thanksgiving at a beach bar and grill where we were served turkey and stuffing and experienced a lively celebration with karaoke, dancing, hula hoops and glow sticks. The combination of Rob and Shelley’s knowledge, gracious hospitality, planning, and experience created a thoroughly enjoyable adventure. We are particularly grateful for Captain Rob’s kindness and patience in teaching my young children about skin diving, kayaking, sailing and driving the dinghy. We are looking forward to another adventure with Ebb in the near future.

Our sailing trip in Thailand with Ebb was truly the adventure of a lifetime. Every detail was carefully thought out and masterfully executed. It was so incredible to be on such an active, fun, adventurous vacation and not have to worry about any of the details. Every day was filed with incredible adventures; we hiked 1,237 steps to Tiger Temple, rode elephants, rock climbed limestone cliffs, kayaked the mangroves, explored lagoons and coves, rode scooters through local villages, shopped in charming markets, and enjoyed Thai massage. By far the best travel experience we have ever had with the best captain and crew imaginable. We would book with Ebb again in a heartbeat!

Our family has traveled a great deal and sailing with Ebb Charters is definitively one of our favorite trips ever! We have nothing but accolades to offer with regards to the owners, Rob and Shelley. They went well beyond being competent and safe sailors as we sailed from Puerto Rico through the Virgin Islands. The trip was well organized with an amazing itinerary which allowed us to, snorkel with astonishing sea creatures, relax on pristine, dreamy beaches, hike to fabulous vistas, and partake in excellent food both on-board and at restaurants. My favorite stop was Culebrita, a small island where we snorkeled with sea turtles, soaked in tidal springs, hiked past wild goats, and relaxed on the sandy shore with only one other boat on the island! I highly recommend a vacation with Ebb Charters; it is a dream from start to finish!

We enjoyed an epic sailing trip with Ebb Charters in Thailand. I could not have asked for a better adventure with more agreeable people. Everything was perfect and I can honestly say I felt safe and secure the entire time. Rob is an incredible captain and guide, aware of the quick-changing tides, local sailing etiquette, and secret islands. He and Shelley took us to phenomenal local restaurants and delighted us with tasty meals and diverse menus on board. They took such wonderful care of us and clearly enjoy sharing their passion for and knowledge of Thailand with others. I will be back!
