About Bareboat Catamaran Mahe 36
The Fountaine Pajot Mahe 36 is a proven cruising catamaran, purpose-built for self-skippered sailing in tropical waters. Her twin hulls deliver exceptional stability and generous deck space, whilst the open layout below decks maximises comfort across three cabins plus convertible salon berth. This 2013-built charter yacht combines practical engineering with the manoeuvrability that makes bareboat sailing rewarding rather than arduous.
Equipped for extended independence, she carries dual 130-litre refrigeration units powered by substantial battery capacity and solar panels, minimising reliance on engine hours. Navigation aids include chart plotter and autopilot at the helm station. The cockpit is furnished with cushioned seating and shaded areas ideal for the tropical climate, whilst galley and salon provide shelter during brief Andaman squalls. Dinghy davits and a six-person RIB tender facilitate tender exploration without deck clutter.
Available for bareboat charter from Phuket with flexible terms, she accommodates up to eight guests across three double cabins and a convertible salon berth. The charter includes snorkelling equipment, dinghy with outboard, bed linen, towels and local taxes. Crew options (skipper or cook/hostess) are available at additional cost, as is advance provisioning service.

The Charter Experience
Charter this catamaran from Phuket to explore the Andaman Sea at your own pace. The shallow-draft twin-hull design grants access to anchorages beyond the reach of monohull vessels, ideal for island-hopping between limestone karsts, hidden bays and pristine reefs. Breakfast at anchor in Phang Nga Bay, dive or snorkel from the tender, then sail to a quiet cove for sunset. The bareboat model suits experienced sailors seeking autonomy; novices should consider hiring a skipper to maximise both safety and local knowledge.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week might depart Phuket for the Phi Phi Islands, continuing northward to Phang Nga Bay's dramatic limestone landscapes and shallow anchorages. Divert to Koh Hong or James Bond Island for snorkelling, then push south towards Krabi's emerald waters. The catamaran's responsive helm and shallow draft reward confident sailors with access to remote spots where larger vessels cannot venture.
