Vessel Layout

The Flying Seahorse can be compared either in size or number of guests, with a few liveaboards. Indeed, the Similan Explorer and some of the Manta Queen boats, like the Manta Queen 6, are quite similar. The Flying Seahorse stands out as it offers a larger array of itineraries, including the islands and dive spots closer to Koh Lanta.
