Lobster Luxury Catamaran

A beach club is the centre of what Lobster offers, opening the boat straight to the sea, with a beach tender standing ready to take guests ashore when they want land underfoot. She is a 78ft (24m) luxury catamaran from Custom Made, finished in 2019.

Water toys

Four toys travel with her. SUP boards and a kayak let guests cover the water under their own paddle, snorkelling gear takes care of what lies beneath it, and the beach tender handles the trips in to the sand.

Where she cruises

Phuket, in Thailand, is her home port, and Thailand is also the full extent of her cruising ground; she works year-round, with December and the January to March stretch her busiest.

Accommodation and crew

A crew of 25 runs her, and by day she can carry 145 guests, so a gathering of that size arrives to find a team already in place to look after it.

Comfort under way

Two hulls carry her, and she cruises at 8 knots with 10 available, which makes moving from anchorage to anchorage an unhurried part of the day rather than a transfer to be got through.

On deck

Her swim platform gives a low, easy way into the sea and back out again, and WiFi reaches across her for guests who need to stay in contact.

Charter notes

A charter aboard Lobster suits a large party who would rather stay together on a single boat than split across several, and a hire here is built around the crew, the paddling and a sea that is never more than a step from the deck.
