The sixty-three foot (19m) ketch Stressbreaker was originally constructed as a sailing vessel for scientific research in the waters of Patagonia, Tierra Del Fuego and Southern Chile . She had a second career as one of the most successful sail/dive yachts in the Red Sea . 

In 1996 Stressbreaker was moved to South East Asia and is now well established as a expeditionary charter yacht in this area. John and Gill Chamberlain, her owners, are both skipper and divemaster and they both love to seek little explored areas, it was an obvious choice to operate in the Mergui Archipelago. A Thai Cook completes the team.

Cuisine aboard is a mouth-watering combination of Thai and European dishes. The price is "All-inclusive", with complimentary spirits, soft drinks and cold beers available at all times.
All activities are also included: Masks, snorkels and fins are supplied for snorkeling. Nine 12 liters tanks are supplied for diving, refilled from the yacht's high capacity Bauer K4 compressor, together with weights and belts. In addition, 2 sets of scuba gear are available for guests wishing to have a try-dive. 3 persons-Ocean kayaks are also available to explore the islands.

The teak clad saloon is air-conditioned and has a dedicated charging station for strobes and torches. 220 V AC power is available all day, & the generator is silenced. Three ton water capacity and a desalinator make water shortage unlikely.

The maximum of 8 guests are accommodated in four private cabins: two doubles and two twins. Cabins are light and airy with opening portholes and hatches. Each cabin has it's own fan and reading light. The two toilet/showers are cleaned twice daily.

Comment: Large comfortable ketch with “ All-inclusive” package.
