Private cruise, no crowds—just your group, stunning views & top value
Looking for a private charter cruise to explore Cat Ba that won’t break the bank? This 2D1N trip is perfect for small groups who want to escape the crowds and have a whole traditional wooden boat to themselves — complete with a friendly local crew, great food, and stunning views of Lan Ha Bay. Unlike the busy Halong Bay tours where you're shuffled from cave to cave, this experience skips the typical tourist stops and gives you more time to soak in the beauty of nature. Think kayaking through hidden lagoons, swimming at wild beaches, visiting a local fishing village, and even seeing glowing plankton after dark.This is best for couples, families, or close friends after a more meaningful and intimate way to explore the bay. With modern comforts on a boutique wooden boat, a warm and welcoming crew, and a relaxed pace, it's a refreshing alternative to the usual packed cruises — and great value too.

Meet your host
Anh started her cruise line back in 2018 with a simple idea—smaller boats, better experiences. Instead of going big, she chose to build a handful of cosy wooden boats, each one thoughtfully designed to suit small groups, couples, or families. She picked Lan Ha Bay as her sailing route—a quieter, less touristy spot near Halong Bay—so her guests could enjoy the same stunning views without the crowds. From peaceful kayaking trips to relaxed evenings fishing off the side of the boat, Anh’s way of hosting is all about slowing down and making people feel at home on the water.
