The Junk

(June Hong Chian Lee)

The Junk

The June Hong Chian Lee is one of several junks built in Penang, Malaysia, and is a 30 meters, 140-ton three mast junk with 330 square meters of sails.

She is a movie veteran, having starred in James Bond ‘Man with the golden gun’ among many others.

The junk is not particularly luxurious or spacious, but she has so much character, you can’t help but love her. We think she’s amazing.

History, Character and Romance

Built in 1962 for transporting charcoal the June Hong Chian Lee was part of a small merchant fleet that traded up and down the coastline from Burma to Malaysia. She was mainly used to transport mango wood charcoal till 1985 then she was restored and redesigned for the first time to serve as a classic yacht.

In 1997 she changed owners and she was completely restored and set up as a liveaboard diving vessel. The June Hong is constructed mainly from a hard teak wood called Takien Tong.

Service

The crew of The Junk put service first. The hostess is ready for you with a chilled drink when you come back to the boat.
The food leaves many of the other boats a long way behind, and even your fins are already on the dinghy waiting for you when it’s time to jump.

We love diving on The Junk.
