BOAT RATINGS...
We rate liveaboard boats into three categories; GOLD, SILVER & BRONZE.
• GOLD boats would usually be newer, nicely furnished, fully air-conditioned and have en-suite bathrooms (toilet & shower) in all cabins.
• SILVER boats may be older and not so well furnished. These would normally also be fully air-conditioned and may also have en-suite bathrooms in guest cabins.
• BRONZE boats would normally be older and may have centrally controlled air-conditioning. These boats are unlikely to have en-suite bathrooms in guest cabins.
These are Aquatours own ratings and are quite basic, but give you some idea of how different boats may compare to each other.
