We spent 7 days in July 2025 on a Bali 4.4 Cat east of Phuket. The area is stunning. The boat was comfortable and the skipper, "Mahn," was extremely helpful and professional. He made it his purpose to tend to our needs and prioritized our safety above all else. This is an extraordinary experience if you have the chance.
While this was the rainy season we had perhaps one rainstorm all week. (The week before was very rainy apparently.) I highly recommend this experience to others.
