Indochina Sails boats are all built of wood in Vietnam, using local materials and the handiwork of proficient craftsmen, artists, and shipbuilders. Often known as aromatic wood, or “go huong,” it is an exceptionally beautifully grained and highly durable wood, which will certainly add to the warm & rich features of the boats.
In general, the Indo 1 and Indo 2 are both identical boats, launched in 2007 with 15 cabins (Superior and Deluxe Cabins) on each boat. The newest boat – the Indo 3 (released in late 2008) – is commonly famed for ceramic artworks handcrafted in Bat Trang (said to be the home of the nation’s most skilful ceramic craftsmen). They are all reportedly decorated with silk from Van Phuc – a reputable “Silk Village.” Furthermore, the Valentine (introduced in late 2007) is also ideal for honeymooning couples who seek a more intimate and unique experience, offering a full-service vessel with ritzy facilities and amenities.

Each Indochina Sails boat features spacious, well-appointed cabins, large en-suite marble bathrooms, a chic dining room & bar, and a large sundeck with comfortable lounging furniture. With an attractive combination of classic beauty and modern comfort, Indochina Sails will definitely provide guests with an excellent and refreshing experience!
Measuring approximately 40 meters long and 8.5 meters wide, the custom-made wooden boat features three decks, inspired by Asian decor. While the lower deck is specially designed for Passenger Cabins with ample sleeping space for 30 guests, the main deck includes the Reception, the Indochina Sail Bar, Restaurant, Gift Shop, and Library. On the top deck, passengers can enjoy the Sunset Bar and a comfortable lounge area – perfectly suited for your morning Tai Chi classes, sunset cocktails, and weekend BBQs.


Guests are often taken aback by the exquisite decor and furnishings of the rooms. The cabins have been outfitted with natural materials to complement the bay’s genuine charm. Meanwhile, the standing shower features outstanding mosaic tiles in the Orchid flower patterns.
What makes the restaurant inside the boat an irresistible place to sample Vietnamese cuisine? With a pleasant ambience, wonderful views, and attentive staff, guests can indulge in bountiful international breakfast buffets, sit-down dishes for lunch, and formal dinners with enticing fusion cuisine. Special BBQ dinners are also served on the sundeck during the weekends or upon request from any group of family, friends, or company.

In the end, travellers of all ages and backgrounds will find it intimate and satisfying to stay on the boat during their trip. Depending on the duration of your vacation, please check the itineraries thoroughly before deciding to book. Whether you prefer to relax in Superior or Deluxe Cabins, rest assured that they’re all well-equipped with up-to-date facilities. There are just slight differences in the sizes of each cabin and the services provided.
