Welcome to TIBS your very special catamaran. She is fully equipped for Diving, Fishing, Surfing, Exploring or just lazing around in the deserted anchorages of this unique area.
3 Queen size cabins all with A/C, private heads and shower make TIBS a pleasure to cruise on.
Fran your Chef will produce fresh cooked meals of the highest quality with a truly international flavor.
Stu your Captain will be happy to let you take the helm of TIBS, take you diving or surfing and even filet the fish you catch.
We try to be as environmentally friendly as possible, solar panels make a lot of the power we use, we produce our own water which we then filter again and serve from a spigot after being refrigerated so we use no plastic bottles on board. All of our refrigeration systems are highly efficient and use minimal power which means less generator noise and pollution.
We have a 9.8Hp engine on the dinghy which allows you the freedom to explore the lagoons on your own AND a 25Hp Dinghy for Watersports.
The Audio-visual set-up on TIBS is spectacular, there's a 100" projection DVD player with surround sound for movies in the evenings, Wii games console with Wii Fit and a formidable DVD collection. We have around 5000 Songs on the computer and you can bring your own music or favorite DVDs
