RV Kindat Pandaw

Pandaw Cruises

The original Kindat was built in 1886 by Yarrows in London and sank in 1920. She was named after a small Upper Chindwin town. Following experiments with the Katha and Angkor Pandaws, in this build cruise perfected this concept of a two deck shallow draft vessel and repeated the formula again with her sister the Kalaw. Cruise managed to produce in 2014 was a very shallow draft vessel that could go just about anywhere anytime that was big enough to carry 30-40 passengers with lots of outdoor deck space. Did it by reducing weight and stripping both hull and superstructure down to the bare essentials. Then later found with the experimental Katha that about half passengers want to eat outside and the other half inside so created a flexible bistro space offering passenger indoor or outdoor dining depending on inclination, often prompted by the season. This makes for a very happy ship! The ship has quality mountain bikes for your independent exploration.
