Dragon Pearl Junk Boat | The Complete Guidebook 2025

The Dragon's Pearl Junk Boat, with 11 cabins, was launched in April 2010. This masterpiece was built by expert craftsmen using the best materials available, following the tradition of creating wooden boats. It has three traditional sails. The design was inspired by ancient sailing junks.

Junk Boat is a type of sailboat that has been present in China since ancient times and is still in use today. They were developed during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220) and were used as ocean liners as early as the 2nd century. They developed in later Dynasties and were used for voyages to all Asian lands.

Dragon’s Pearl Junk is the big junk option for groups in the Indochina Junk family. The 2 Dragon’s Pearl boats were modeled on the traditional Chinese junks that sailed long ago. Dragon's Pearl Junk, like all the other vessels in Indochina Junk's fleet, offers a unique Junk experience to Bai Tu Long Bay along with a variety of exciting activities. Their team puts a lot of effort into making sure you are happy every minute of the journey. This classic junk is ideal for parties for larger groups (up to 20 people) or corporate incentive groups.
