DESIGNED FOR DIVING AND ADVENTURE
We drew inspiration from the finest phinisis and added our special, unique, and renowned touch. We have custom-built a magnificent wooden phinisi: Shenron, immersing you in the local culture while providing all the modern comforts you need on board. We designed spacious cabins that invite our 8 guests to relish the country they visit.
An indoor dining room was added for comfort during the rainy season, featuring a chef offering a fusion of international and local cuisine. As diving experts, we take pride in having the only Nitrox filling station on our boat, equipped with a top-of-the-line filtration system.
Both an outdoor deck and a sky lounge on the upper deck were added for sunbathing, relaxation, and enjoying island views.
