M/V Nautica
After years of working with many different liveaboard boats, and with our customer's thoughts and suggestions in mind we have decided to build another liveaboard vessel.
We have now commenced worked on latest liveaboard M/V NAUTICA, she is currently under construction and will be launched in September 2004. NAUTICA will commence full passenger operation in December 2004.
Her trips will include:
• The Similan & Surin Islands for 6 days
• The Similan & Surin Islands and Myanmar (Burma) for 9 days

ITINERARIES
NAUTICA will be able to explore some of the best dive destinations though out Thailand and some of the newly discovered reefs of the Mergui Archipelago.
When we decided to build the new liveaboard vessel, we already had ideas of exactly how NAUTICA should look and be designed. We then contacted Bo Colomby, (a naval architect and UN consultant)
Bo is a specialist, and creates boats, which are both safe and comfortable by design.
Our idea was to build a stable; seaworthy commercial motor vehicle that can be operated for diving cruises in remote offshore locations.
Some of NAUTICA's specifications include:
• A steel hull which will be 24m long and 5m wide
• She will be powered by two HINO 330bhp diesel engines
• Her cruising speed will be 10 knots, with a top speed of 12 knots.
NAUTICA can take a maximum of 10 passengers in 4 Twin / Double Bed Adjustabale Cabins and 1 Double Bed Master Cabin. All cabins are all located on the main and upper deck levels and have private bathrooms with shower, individually controlled air con units, panoramic windows and mini-bar. The cabin interiors are made of teak wood and with white ceiling; this combination gives the cabin lots of light, and a warm spacious feeling.
The dive deck area is very spacious, with access to a toilet and shower, a rinse tank plus extra storage space for diving equipment to minimize clutter.

Main meals will be served 3 times daily with alternate snacks after each dive. For meals you will be able to choose between Thai or, for less spicy palates, European cuisine.
All meals and drinks will be served buffet-style. Water, tea and coffee are available free of charge throughout the trip.
Onboard NAUTICA there will be two saloons: one located on the upper deck and another with A/C on the main deck. A TV, DVD/CD system will be installed and will include many DVD/CD ‘s. There will also be a well-supplied library. With comfort in mind we have designed an area of 30sqm, which will be covered with cushions for reading or relaxing in between dives.
