Below decks
Chameleon's interior is a blend of light ash timbers with
contrasting Western Red Cedar trims complimented by soft grey fabric
wall coverings and light white embossed laminated panels. Ventilation, pleasant temperature and comfort aboard are of primary concern.
The yacht features three en-suite double queen-size cabins with their own bathroom and shower facilities and 1 en-suite double cabin with bathroom/shower nearby. All cabins are well-ventilated with double electric fans, additional extractor fans and opening hatches. Chameleon's crew is accommodated forward in their own private cabins.
The airy saloon is spacious with a u-shaped couch around a central dining table, seating 10 persons comfortably. The table is constructed from light ash timber with contrasting Western Red Cedar inlays over a balsa core epoxy base. In the saloon you also find a flatscreen TV, the DVD surround sound sytem and 4 electric fans for ventilation.
A convenient and well- stocked galley with stainless bench tops is located in the port (left) hull and is fitted with an Italian design 5-burner gas stove, a stainless oven/griller and a microwave.
Above decks
Above decks Chameleon is huge, taking into account she is 48 feet
x 25 feet. She is fitted with an aluminium fixed awning for protection from the sun and the occasional tropical shower. Under the fixed roof is the central helm station. The uncluttered decks with wide walkways make her a safe vessel for children. One can also laze in the bow netting during passages and sleep under the stars if wished. A flexible, removable bow awning gives you sun protection on the foredeck and in the bow nets.
Access to the water is easy with a swim platform, swim ladder plus a deck shower conveniently located at the port transom.

Start your cruise in Phuket, Thailand and work your way down to Langkawi in Malaysia, stopping at beautiful anchorages in the Butang islands group, Koh Tarutao and Koh Rok Nok. Perfectly clear water, white empty beaches, beautiful corals and marine live make these anchorages perfect for snorkeling. From Langkawi you can fly onwards to Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur. Of course you can go the other way as well: start in Langkawi, Malaysia and sail to Phuket. Ask us about travelling from or to Langkawi, Malaysia
