An eighty metre charter yacht with onboard diving is the intersection of expedition capability and five star service. At this length, the yacht carries enough fuel, stores and crew to reach remote dive sites that smaller vessels cannot, and it does so without any compromise on comfort, space or service standards. You can be on an uncharted seamount in the morning and seated at a formal dinner table for twelve that evening.
The dive infrastructure aboard an eighty metre yacht is typically more comprehensive than many small dive resorts. Expect dedicated compressors with nitrox capability, a professional dive locker with individual equipment stations, a tender large enough to run multi-site dive days, and a crew that includes at least one qualified divemaster. Several yachts in this size range also carry rebreather support and technical diving equipment for deeper or longer dives.
Weekly rates across the eighty metre dive fleet begin near four hundred and eighty thousand euros and extend beyond one million for the most capable expedition builds. The majority fall between six hundred thousand and one million euros a week. The advance provisioning allowance, roughly thirty percent, covers fuel, food, berthing and drinks, plus any specialist dive logistics such as helium mixes or chamber standby.
The best sites for a yacht of this range are the ones you cannot easily reach any other way: Raja Ampat, the Solomon Islands, the Galapagos, French Polynesia, and the remote atolls of the Indian Ocean. These are destinations where the yacht is the only practical accommodation.
