Customer Endorsements

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks for all the efforts which went into fixing Rak Talay. Willie and his team did an excellent job in getting all the defects out of way in the shortest possible time. So by now we are only waiting for the motor to come back and then we can re-establish Rak Talay as our leading passenger boat.

The speed of repairs, the quality of repairs and the ease to work with you and your team is a true testament of your commitment to provide great boats and great service.

I bought the cat for my hotel transfers between Koh Rong Island in Cambodia and the mainland at Sihanoukville. It is sometimes a tricky trip with 20 knots of wind and 2 meter side waves. I was looking for a secure boat because the priority is safety first but also a comfortable boat for my customers.

The Austhai cat is for me the best compromise I can find in terms of speed, comfort and security in these kinds of conditions.

Howya! Took Fish Tank out and opened her up in rough seas.

We were doing a steady 30 knots in quite big seas, 5 adults and 2 kids. It performed beautifully, really great and surprisingly dry, well done.

I know I’m repeating myself  but one more time – the boat is about as perfect for the role as I could have ever hoped for.

She is a delight to handle and performs admirably. Pim and yourself have done us proud and I am personally extremely grateful and just a little humbled.

Dear Ray, I would like to say thank you for all the professional service and work you did with our dive catamaran. From the first meeting on I felt in the right hands with you and your company, no hidden costs everything like it should be in the business world . Always a professional service while the boat was under construction and as well, what I really appreciate, the after work service.

Dear Ray, I would like to take the opportunity to write this letter of appreciation to you, your wife and your great team.

You tirelessly assisted in putting together a tailor made package which fits the operational needs of the Zeavola Resort.

I recall when I was looking at it in the showroom I told Paul that I was looking for a Cat but only about 30' not as big as the one in the showroom, only to be told that I was looking at a 30 footer. I really thought I was looking at something much bigger.

There is now a "fight" to get to come along, before with the single hulls there was not so much interest, the reason is simple, it is more stable, more seaworthy (she is great for the seas around Phuket which can become choppy at times), more versatile, and a lot more fun than the previous boats.

Dear Ray, Many congratulations to you for the warmth and kindness, and your company Austhai Marine for professionalism and high quality of the boat you sold me! The boat you sold me is better than all expectations, and the after sales service is even better than the boat. I hope to buy another next year!

Thanks again for everything!

Hello Ray, With our boats third birthday coming up next month I thought I should let you know that after three years of hard work it is still in great condition and the best dive boat possible for our environment. With the experience of three years use we find it difficult to suggest improvements, so congratulations to you and your designer.

Our aim now is to move up to your new 15 metre boat, which we hope to do next year.

We would like to say a big thank you for the extremely professional way you have treated  our problems. If you manage to come to Natai during one of the periods that we plan to be down here we would be delighted to invite you for a meal, lunch or dinner.  In the meantime we will not hesitate to spread the good word about the experience we have had as I think it is very rare for anyone to go to so much trouble for "customer satisfaction".

In June 2008 we met Ray the first time.  He is a wonderful guy and a real old school gentleman.

It means a lot to him to built solid boats and realize the wishes and needs of his customers. He never got tired answering to our many detailed questions. He always tried to think through our ideas, answered them with impressive expert knowledge and often he came with ideas that would fit our needs better then our ideas.

Hi Ray, Now about the boat, I am very pleased with it. Weather was poor the whole time I was home but still spent 5-6 days out on it, it certainly handles well, the winds were blowing up a really good chop and the cat wasn't phased at all, in a 1-1.5m wind assisted chop was still able to cruise at 17-20 knots directly into it with no loss of comfort, so was really happy with the way it handles.
