M/Y SURI

The 173 foot motor yacht SURI, pictured lying off Malakal Harbor, Koror, Palau in Jan 2009. SURI and her fun crew spent a few months in Palau and quickly became part of the local community. Skipper Neil Anderson and his fun-loving Fijian crew were always on hand for adventure, fun and games. SURI is the penultimate gentlemans "Toy Box" with a list of on-board gadgets that includes a helicopter, hovercraft, landing craft, dune buggy, 45 foot
"Intrepid" launch, Hobie cats, Lasers, kayaks, row boats, Waverunners, jet skis......just to mention a few. SURI is the tender to the 150 foot superyacht JeMaSa, and is a superyacht herself in her own right.

A former Bering Sea fishing boat, SURI underwent a major conversion in Washington State, USA, supervised by Neil Anderson and his crew. Sam's Tours served as local agent for SURI while RBYC served as her home port and primary "wateringhole" for the ships crew.
