A sixty metre charter yacht with dedicated diving equipment turns a week at sea into a genuine dive expedition without sacrificing the comfort that defines a superyacht charter. At this length, the yacht has volume to house a professional dive locker at the waterline, with a compressor, nitrox membrane, rinse station and tank storage built into the tender garage.
Sixty metre diving yachts carry ten to twelve guests in five to seven cabins, with a crew of fourteen to twenty that often includes a qualified divemaster. The dive tender launches from the garage and returns guests to the swim platform after each session, while the main yacht repositions to the next site. This combination of mobility and onboard expertise is what separates a sixty metre charter from a resort or liveaboard.
Weekly rates across the sixty metre diving fleet start from approximately one hundred and thirty seven thousand euros and run to five hundred and ninety five thousand. The majority sit between two hundred and fifty thousand and four hundred and fifty thousand euros per week. The advance provisioning allowance, typically around thirty percent, covers fuel, food, berthing and drinks. Mediterranean summer weeks tend to be the most accessible, with winter charters in the Red Sea, Maldives and Caribbean at a premium.
The eastern Mediterranean from Turkey through Greece to Croatia is rich in wrecks and reef walls, with autumn visibility often exceeding thirty metres. In winter, the Maldives offer pristine reef diving from December through April, and the Red Sea runs well nearly year round.
