Boat Captain

Skippers are the highest authority on-board or on inland waterways, they are in charge of the vessel and are held responsible for the safety and well being of the clients and crew. They are licensed by the responsible authority and will determine the operations of the vessel at any time. They are the ultimate instance responsible for the crew, the ship, the cargo and/or passengers, and the voyage.Meaning "rocks" in the local Malay language, Batu Batu is a rustic island retreat set amongst coconut groves, rocky outcrops and fine sand beaches on the uninhabited island of Pulau Tengah off the east coast of peninsular Malaysia.Constructed by local carpenters with a variety of tropical hardwoods using traditional techniques in the Malay vernacular style, the 20 one-bedroom and 2 two-bedroom villas are nestled into the island's wild and natural environment in a way reminiscent of a Malay 'kampung' or village.Lazy sun-kissed days can be spent exploring the island's eight white sand beaches, striding through the jungle or learning about our fragile ecosystems from our on-site biologists. Kayaks and paddle boards tempt guests out into the big blue, whilst those wanting to explore the coral kingdoms of the South China Sea can don a snorkel and mask and step right off the beach.Batu Batu aims to tread lightly, source sustainably, behave responsibly and support the local economy wherever possible.SPM / O Level / SKM Level 1 / SKM Level 2 / SKM Level 3 or Equivalent
