Sabi Raptor Power Boat

Forty knots at the top end is the fact that shapes a day aboard Sabi Raptor, because pace like that widens how much coast is within reach. She is a 38ft (12m) power boat, built by Raptor in 2019.

Where she cruises

Phuket is her home port, and the waters of Thailand are her cruising ground; she runs year-round, and January, February, March and December are her busiest months.

Accommodation and crew

Eight guests can be aboard by day, with a crew of two running her. Wi-Fi reaches the boat, so a group stays connected while they are out on the water.

Comfort under way

Her working pace is 25 knots, and a hull that holds that speed means a farther anchorage costs the group less of the day than a slower boat would.

Water toys

Fishing, snorkelling gear and inflatable toys all travel with her, so a stop can be spent with a line over the side, a mask and fins under the surface, or nothing more strenuous than floating.

Charter notes

A charter aboard Sabi Raptor suits a group of up to eight who would rather be fishing or swimming than making slow progress along a coast; two crew come with the hire, and her speed keeps the shoreline and islands of Thailand open to them rather than only the nearest stretch of it.
