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.
