Gold Coast Ships was pleasantly surprised by the Australian Ambassador to Thailand, His Excellency James Wise, along with Greg Wallis, senior trade minister and Ms Sineenart Kuncharoen, business development manager responsible for the transport sector, to visit our boat yard in Na Jomtien.
While having this opportunity, Paul Birgan (designer) decided it was a good opportunity for the Ambassador to christen our vessel before it sets sail to Phuket to start its tourist operation from Phuket to the Similan Islands on day trips. The name of the vessel is Blu Ander 171 and there is another to follow in the coming weeks.

This vessel is a high speed aluminium Catamaran built in Thailand by Gold Coast Ships. We wish the new owners well on there new adventure. It was very impressive that it only took the Ambassador one go to smash the bubbly. That is a very good sign that all will go well for this new venture.
