There is a particular joy in eating freshly grilled tiger prawns as the bow of a 55-foot catamaran cuts silently through cobalt water. It is a sensory alignment that no land restaurant can replicate — the salt air, the gentle roll of the hull, the sound of water against fibreglass, and on your plate, seafood that was swimming in the same ocean less than 24 hours ago.
The Seafood BBQ & Thai Buffet Package
Our signature Seafood BBQ & Thai Buffet package (฿1,500 per guest) transforms the aft deck of White Marlin or Vela Charter into a fully operational outdoor restaurant. Our onboard host prepares the grill 45 minutes before anchoring at your chosen lagoon, timing service so your first course arrives precisely as the yacht reaches its destination.
The standard seafood menu features tiger prawns, fresh Phuket squid, sea bass fillets, and blue crab claws — all sourced that morning from Chalong's fishing pier. Each item is seasoned with fresh Thai herbs: lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaf, and bird's eye chilli in quantities calibrated to the group's spice preference confirmed during the pre-charter brief.
The Sunset Sushi & Sashimi Boat
For guests who prefer Japanese-style raw preparations, our Sunset Sushi & Sashimi Boat package (฿950 per guest) offers a cold alternative to the BBQ format. The selection centres on bluefin tuna, yellowtail, salmon, and local Andaman Sea species presented on a traditional wooden sushi board with house-made ponzu, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
This package pairs particularly well with our Premium Open Bar option, which includes Moët & Chandon champagne, premium spirits, and fresh tropical juices served throughout the charter by a dedicated beverage host.
Catering for Dietary Requirements
All Andaman Signature catering packages accommodate dietary requirements confirmed at least 48 hours before departure. Vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free, and low-FODMAP alternatives are available across all packages at no additional charge. Our onboard hosts are trained in cross-contamination prevention for severe allergy cases — please note this on your booking form and we will confirm the specific protocols with you directly.

For corporate charters aboard Vela Charter, we offer a full sit-down canapé reception format with passed trays, carving stations, and plated dessert courses. This configuration seats all 50 guests simultaneously and has been successfully executed for product launch events, investor dinners, and conference social programmes in conditions of up to Beaufort Force 3.
