Livre d'Or

I took a day trip with SweetDreamers along with my 8-year old daughter, my husband and my mother, and it was by far the most relaxing and fun snorkeling and boating experience I've had in SE Asia. It's much quieter to be on a sail boat than on a big dive boat, and my daughter loved seeing how the sails worked. It was easy to book and reasonably priced, pick-up was at a civilized hour of the morning, and it was a pleasure to spend the day with Captain Igor, who was the perfect host. He really made an effort to make the day fun for our child and manageable for my 75-year old mother, as well as relaxing for me and my husband. The food was simple but delicious, and the snorkeling site was great for both my daughter and mother, who had never snorkeled before, and for me and my husband who have. We'll definitely do it again the next time we're on Phuket.

Le soleil, ma famille, les vacances, la Thailande, cette journée fut vraiment inoubliable a bord de ce petit voilier qui nous ballottés d'îles en îles,entrecoupés de baignades pour admirer ces poissons multicolores. L'acceuil et la simplicité de captain Igor et de sa compagne Delphine contribuent a faire de cette journée un enchantement. Vous vous laissez aller au farniente dans une ambiance bon enfant, en degustant des plats savoureux. La croisiere s'achève sur un magnifique coucher de soleil, on revient sur terre des images plein les yeux en se disant "J'ai trouvé mon paradis".
Embarquez avec Igor et Delphine, ce n'est que du bonheur!!!!

Inoubliable,magique,merveilleuse... Les mots manquent pour décrire cette journée passée en famille en compagnie d'Igor et Delphine les agréables et très sympas organisateurs de cette petite croisière à la découverte d’îles plus magnifiques les unes que les autres. Nous en sommes revenus des images formidables plein la tête. Nos hôtes furent aux petits soins tout au long de la journée accédant et même devançant nos moindres désirs. Vraiment un agréable moment que nous avons énormément apprécier.

malgré une météo capricieuse (mais on est bien en saison sèche là non?) l'excursion valait vraiment la peine d'avoir quelques gouttes sur la tête (et Igor et Delphine ont été assez doué pour nous éviter ça).
Paysages magnifique, repas délicieux, ambiance chaleureuse: tout était là pour passer un très bon moment.
A ne pas manquer!

Do yourself a favor and spend a day with Captain Igor! After some great communication with Delphine, who answered all my questions, I booked a day trip for myself and my parents. When the day of the trip arrived the weather wasn't great, and Delphine suggested we wait until tomorrow, which was fine with us!

The trip was so much fun! The weather was great and, after an easy hotel pickup and ride, we found that we had the boat all to ourselves. Igor took us to a Bon Island first, where we were treated us to a great Thai food picnic on our own private beach, away from the mass of tourists on the main beach.

We got to know Igor, and found him to be incredibly warm and genuine. He loves Phuket, loves the water, and truly wants to share the wonderful experience with each and every person that steps onto the boat. It was also interesting to hear about how he landed in Thailand after purchasing his boat in Australia. All the while, his first mate was dutifully picking up trash on the beach and in the woods, which was such a contrast from what you'll find on any speedboat tour.

Then, it was onto Coral Island. After an hour sail, we moored the boat and headed to the beach with snorkel gear in hand. I was a little surprised with the limited size selection of fins (as they don't actually supply them), so make sure to bring your own if you want them. The snorkeling was great, and after hearing that so much coral was dead around Phuket it was nice to see that wasn't the case here.

All in all, our day on the "Nadezhada" was nothing less than spectacular, and one that I certainly won't forget. I will be back to Thailand, and can't wait to relive my experience with my new friend Igor on the beautiful, out-of-the-way beaches surrounding the tourist madness of Phuket.

March 2011 we spent a lovely day at sea with captain Igor on his boat Nadezhda.
Together with a couple from USA my wife and I went sailing with SweetDreamers and this was by far the best day of our two weeks holiday in Thailand.
From Chalong pier in the morning sailing round Coral and Bon Islands with stops for snorkeling and visits on the islands, and return in the sunset.
Next time I visit Thailand I will make a longer, two-three days trip with Igor possibly to the islands in Phang Nga area.

During our 2 week stay in Thailand we did a 3 day sailing trip with Sweet Dreamers. Igor (the very friendly and obliging skipper) sailed with us to Coral Island, Raya and Koh Phi Phi. These 3 days were the most relaxing, most interesting, most adventoursly and most beautifully days we ever had during our holiday trips ...; Especially the snorkeling with the reef sharks at shark point on Koh Phi Phi me and my girlfriend will never forget... ; I am sure that we will make a further trip with sweetDreamers when we come next time to Thailand.

Seriously one of the best days my friends and I have ever had on holiday. All six of would highly recommend it. Well, five but that's because he lost an iphone in the water. But that was not Igor's fault! He was great, as was his lovely assistant Delphine. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for something private away from other tourists. The prices are better too...Thanks Igor for an awesome day.

We booked Sweet Dreamers charter cruise with the intention of heading somewhere south from Phuket, possibly to Racha/Raya islands for a day trip. On the day luck would have it the wind was very low and the trip would have taken 3 hours each way, so with the help and advice of Igor we chose to visit some closer islands to make more out of our day. We visited Bon Island and Coral Island, both of which were nice, but Coral Island had a particularly nice little bay and snorkeling that Igor took us to where we spent most of our time.

Really appreciated the way Igor was happy to do anything we wanted - started by explaining our options, he was very easy going and had good recommendations. He's an interesting guy and good to chat to about his experiences both in Thailand and abroad.

Lunch was nice, hot local Thai food picked up from a Restaurant on the way to the boat in the morning, and we ate on board with great scenery.

We had 4 people, and considering the price for a day is only fractionally more than one of the speed boat 20-something people sardine can tourist traps, it was well worth it. Great times of day to trip too... 10am is nice and late so there is no rush, and getting back to Chalong Bay at 7pm gives a great sunset on the way home. The boat is well suited for 4 people, but 6 would definitely be comfortable on a day trip too. Igor goes out of his way to make sure a good shade is erected once you are underway too.

Only thing that could be done better was to have a full set of flippers for snorkelling, or advise guests to bring their own. We were two couples, and Igor had flippers for the guys, but only one small pair for girls who had to share (one flipper each). Snorkeling with no flippers at all would be a lot less fun, but luckily for us this didn’t really hinder our day.
