You step onto the polished teak of a luxury day-boat at Tuan Chau Marina as karst towers rise like weathered sculptures from the green water — gulls wheel and the engine hum settles into a steady, comfortable rhythm. A welcome drink and the bay’s humid salt air set the tone: this is sightseeing with service.
