SY Meta IV
Cruise company: Burma boating
Cruise type: Luxury, Sharing, 4 cabins
Destinations: Myanmar - Myanmar
Meta IV was designed by the naval architect Thomas E. Colvin, who gave the vessel her beautiful shape and robust hull. She is made entirely of Thai teak, one of the best woods for building classic boats.
Meta IV was constructed in 1998 as a private yacht for a Swiss businessman who made his fortune in hotels. In 2010, the Austrian skipper Herbert Mayrhauser found her at a pier in Phuket and immediately fell in love. After two years of intensive restoration work and refitting, Meta IV started her new life as a luxury charter vessel in the fall of 2012.
Meta IV has four guest cabins, each fully air conditioned with ensuite bathrooms and electric toilets. Two of the cabins boast queen-size beds, while the other two feature twin beds. Behind the cockpit is the triple stateroom. The entire aft of the boat is shaded and fitted with multiple dining spaces and sunbathing areas.
The boat's centre is dominated by the generous galley and saloon dining area. But chances are that you'll be enjoying most of your meals outside in the sun or in Myanmar's mild evenings.
Cancellation by the customer:
25% of charter rates if the reservation is canceled within 12 to 6 weeks prior to the scheduled charter date;
75% of charter rates if the reservation is canceled within 6 to 4 weeks prior to the scheduled charter date; and
100% of the charter rates if the reservation is canceled less than 4 weeks before the planned charter date or in case of no-show.
Children's policy
Minors under 18 must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian or other adult over the age of 21. This passenger is fully responsible for the driving and entertainment of the minor. Neither Burma Boating nor any member of the crew will be held responsible for their driving or entertainment.
For cabin charter, minors under 18 can only be accommodated on special request. This clause does not guarantee passengers that there will be minors on board.
For all charters, single travelers under the age of 18 will not be accommodated.
We reserve the right to limit the number of minors under 18 years on board.
Policies of pregnant women
Since ships do not have a means to allow women to give birth on board, pregnant women older than six months are not allowed to board ships. In any case, it is advisable for pregnant women traveling on board ships to consult a doctor before boarding, to ensure that their state of health is compatible with the planned cruise. Every pregnant woman traveling on board ships must have a FIT TO TRAVEL letter from a doctor. Access to a doctor will be unlikely during most of the trip.
Cabins & Quarters
The spacious owner's cabin with en-suite is located aft with a separate staircase from the cockpit. As a true owner's yacht, this suite offers an unusually large bathroom with two sinks and even a bathtub.
Forward of the large saloon and dining area are two beautifully finished guest cabins - one with a double bed and the other with 2 twin beds.
Further towards the bow is a separate area with two cabins dedicated for the crew.
The design of the interior is typical of Andrew Hoek's classic style with high gloss cherry wood, white ceiling panels and ash floor boards.
