Me and my newly wed wife did our trip in the mid Oct with Capt Gordon. SInce it was still low season and We were the only tourist on board! It felt like a prive boat trip indeed. The trip is everything like all the others have mentioned. bird watching, monkey feeding, private beach, visit to the fish farm.. The... more

Captain Gordon and First Mate Luck made me feel like part of the family. Gracious and welcoming hosts met me at the pier and escorted me in their classic dingy to the awaiting River Rovers flag ship. The day trip started with a bang and did not let up. We visited a "real" gypsy sea village, travelled down through a... more

This was an excellent trip. Small number of guests on the boat. The hosts Gordon and Luck made us feel like part of the family. It actually felt like we were out with friends all day rather than some faceless tour operator. The food was great. The best I've had so far in Thailand. All drinks/snacks were included so there... more

Not only a great trip for families, also for a younger crowd. The day was completely relaxed with no rush, and still we managed to see several untouched places in Phuket. Living in Phuket, I know this is near to impossible, yet Gordon has managed to find them. Kayaking around little islands, cruising down a peaceful Klong with no other... more

Thanks Capt'n Gordon for a great trip, my wife son & I spent a half day on the boat with another family from Sydney with a couple of small children and we had a great time.

We had a fantastic day out with Gordon and his lovely companion Luck. Gordon arranged for a friend to collect us from Karon Beach and our day had begun. We chose to do a private tour and we started the day with a visit to the gorgeous family on their floating fish farm. Then we were off for a swim... more

I guarantee you will not have a more enjoyable day than cruising the Phuket river and Chalong bay by river boat under the enthusiastic command of Captain Gordon (Or Flash as he is known locally!) His 2nd in command Luk is a great Cook. There were 4 of us on the boat but I think parties of up to 10... more
