The Sea Rascals crew will take you on outdoor adventures to uncover secluded spots that only a handful have explored, snorkel with turtles, chase waterfalls, and simply have the best time with your closest friends

Gunung Semukut (The Dragon's Horns mountain).

Depending on the package you book, you'll get to explore pristine beaches and stunning waterfalls, including Mangrove Bay, Coral Island; Monkey Bay, Mukut, Long Beach, and Renggis Island.

The experienced crew will adjust the itinerary based on weather conditions to pick the best spots for the activities. 

And if you're lucky, you might even get to meet some of Tioman's ocean friends

The boat comes with custom sea hammocks, gently suspended just above the water, and a 'tamago' floatie for those moments when you just want to kick back and enjoy the sunset

Additionally, there's a cosy lounge area on the deck, perfect for sipping your favourite drink as you soak in the breathtaking views.

The entire boat can accommodate up to six guests.

So, you can call your best buds and book a private cruise, or opt for a shared cruise and meet new friends!

There are three cabins available with two queen-sized beds and two single beds.

Blankets, wall sockets, towels, a bathroom, privacy blinds, and fans are provided. Since it can get pretty chilly at night, thick blankets are available upon request.

All meals are provided during your stay, and if the weather is good, the crew will host barbecues on the boat or on the beach upon request

'Thicc', buttery, fresh pancakes await you in the morning.

Barbecues are available as an add-on.

Throughout your stay, they offer non-alcoholic beverages. However, you're free to bring along your own alcohol ('corkage fee' is one jump off the boat :P).
