The Junk Liveaboard was built in 1962 in Penang, Malaysia, for charcoal transportation. She is a
30m, 140-ton two-mast junk with 330 square meters of sails. She is constructed from teakwood
throughout. The trees cut for the two masts that rise 23m above the deck, date back over 300 years.
According to legend, the June Hong Chian Lee (Respect Wind Travel Forever) has a murky past with
stories of pirate cargo hidden beneath the charcoal carried in her hold.
Now the junk has been renovated to meet modern standards and redesigned to serve as a classic
yacht.
There are six spacious cabins each easily modified to accommodate 2, 3 or 4 people. Additionally, all cabins have en-suite bathrooms with shower and toilet. All cabins are fully air-conditioned.
Her spacious lounge also serves as a deluxe restaurant and is the perfect spot to prepare your photo and video equipment. Diving is done from hard bottomed tenders.
