A fifty metre charter yacht with onboard diving equipment gives you something no resort or day boat can match: the ability to sleep on the reef, wake before dawn and be in the water when the marine life is most active. The yacht moves overnight, the compressor fills your tanks while you have breakfast, and you step off the swim platform into a site that neither a liveaboard nor a day boat can reach.
At this size, a fifty metre yacht typically carries ten to twelve guests in five or six cabins, with a crew of twelve to fourteen that often includes a dedicated divemaster. The dive locker sits at the waterline or in the tender garage, with a compressor, nitrox membrane, rinse station and dedicated tank storage. A proper dive tender with low freeboard and a boarding ladder makes shore dives and drift dives equally straightforward.
Weekly rates across the fifty metre dive fleet run from approximately ninety five thousand euros to just over three hundred thousand, with most falling between one hundred and fifty thousand and two hundred and fifty thousand. The advance provisioning allowance, typically around thirty percent, covers fuel, food, berthing and drinks. Summer charters tend to cost less than peak winter in the Caribbean or Indian Ocean.
The Mediterranean offers wrecks, walls and protected marine reserves from Croatia to Turkey. The Red Sea runs well nearly year round, and the Maldives deliver pristine reef diving from December to April. Tell us where you want to dive and we will match the yacht to the season.
