Celebrity chef onboard
Our chef has earned numerous accolades for his culinary expertise during his 15-year tenure in the food industry. He has honed his craft at over five (5) top-rated hotels across Phuket. Born and raised in Phattalung, a charming southern province of Thailand, he brings a wealth of regional culinary knowledge to our kitchen.
Considerable thought and care has been invested in curating the finest dining experience for your journey, from fine dining entrees to comfort food dishes reminiscent of mom’s cooking. Our chef regularly works with a team of food consultants to conceive new menus to please our guests’ palates. In addition to our delectable cuisine, we offer delightful all day happiness items like unlimited gelato and bingsu.
As part of our healthy choice, we’ve procured ACAI STORY bowls with premium fresh fruit and organic superfood toppings. The acai berries, with high antioxidant properties, come from the Amazon rainforest to maintain their taste and quality. Aside from fresh fruits, the bowls may contain home ground peanut butter with no additives, homemade chocolate fudge with 100% French cocoa and granola roasted with coconut sugar. It’s a perfect snack for vegan, dairy free, halal, and kosher consumers. And believe us, they taste as great as they look.
MV VANORA LIVEABOARD The vessel
The name “VANORA” originates from the Old Welsh language meaning “white wave”. Our mission is to establish a new benchmark in hospitality at sea, aspiring to lead in enhancing the level of luxury service for our esteemed guests, similar to our yacht creating waves as we cruise through the pristine waters of Thailand’s coastlines. On this note, all of our suites are named after “waves” in various languages.
Completed in October 2023, our yacht spans an impressive 52 meters in length and boasts an aluminum hull, ensuring both sturdiness and agility. Safety is paramount to us, and we proudly maintain a classification as a Lloyd’s Register (LR) vessel. With the power of two robust Cummins KTA-50 engines, we acheive a cruising speed of 20 knots, making us one of the fastest yachts navigating the Thai waters.
