Sunlight Boutique Cruise 69

Sunlight Boutique Cruise 69 is a 4-star boat in Cat Ba Island, with air-conditioned rooms that overlook the sea, the lake, the mountains or the landmarks around the bay. Each room has a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and free toiletries. The boat is a small, intimate wooden vessel rather than a large cruiser, and it suits guests who want to sleep on the water.

Breakfast is served with continental, Asian and buffet selections, including fresh fruit, and the family-friendly restaurant offers Asian cuisine with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options. Guests can relax on the sun terrace, enjoy the bar and coffee shop, and join bike tours and cycling run from the boat.

The crew is one of the strongest points of the stay: guests describe them as friendly, attentive and professional, with clear guidance and helpful service. The boat suits couples, families and small groups who value a personal welcome and good value for a tour, and it is a practical base for the Cat Co beaches, which lie 1.3 km away.

The boat has two room types, and both come with sea views and a private bathroom. The smaller room, the Deluxe Double or Twin Room with Sea View, measures 15 m² and has one large king-size bed for two guests. The larger room, the Deluxe Triple Room with Sea View, measures 18 m² and sleeps up to three guests, with a single bed alongside the large king-size bed.

Both rooms share the same finishing: air conditioning, a wardrobe, a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, slippers and toiletries, and parquet floors. Sea, lake, mountain and landmark views are available in each, so the choice comes down to space and the number of guests. Couples travelling light are well served by the 15 m² room, while families of three will find the triple layout more comfortable.

Most facilities sit on deck. There is a sun terrace with outdoor furniture, sun loungers or beach chairs and a terrace, plus a restaurant, a bar, a coffee house on site and wine and champagne. Bike tours, cycling, a cooking class and a tour or class about local culture are offered from the boat.

Each room has air conditioning, a private bathroom with a shower, free toiletries, towels, slippers, linen and a wardrobe or closet, and every room has a view of the sea, lake, mountains or landmarks. Family rooms are offered, and the boat is non-smoking throughout.

Daily housekeeping, a safety deposit box and hardwood or parquet floors complete the practical side of the stay, and the boat offers internet services for guests who need them.

The waterfront is busy with ferries and tour boats, and the floating Nhà Hàng Nổi Quang Anh restaurant is also 50 m from the mooring. Two cafés, Tsunami Coffee and Camping and Ladybird Cafe, are 100 m away.

Cat Bi International Airport is 34.7 km away and Van Don International Airport is 54 km away, so the final stretch to the harbour is usually by road.

There is no parking available for guests, so arriving on foot or by taxi is the practical option, and your expected arrival time should be sent to the boat ahead of your trip.
