A group of 30-somethings signed up for a sailing adventure and some beach time, and got so much more.  I can't recommend SY Nakamal enough.  The trip was safe, luxurious, a true adventure.  We snorkeled, kayaked, explored islands and their caves in near-solitude, swam both day and night, and marveled at the beauty of the Andaman Sea. We saw turtles,... More
