Custom 92 Dive Boat Liveaboard201028m

Owner's Story

The boat, Empress, is frequently utilized and does not currently require significant renovations. Our company, a PADI 5 Star Dive Center, conducts daily dives around Lombok and arranges diving safaris in world-renowned locations such as Komodo, Raja Ampat, Ambon, and Bali. Diving is both our passion and lifestyle, and we are often the top choice for high-end hotels and villas seeking safe and enjoyable scuba diving or snorkeling experiences for their clients.

Empress possesses a BKI certificate, enabling it to be used worldwide, and is equipped with regularly renewed documentation. Should the new owner opt to continue organizing diving safaris in Indonesia, they would have access to the most exceptional dive sites on the planet, including Raja Ampat and Komodo. Our team has personally explored and traveled to the most stunning locations in Indonesia via Empress. As we are currently involved in other enterprises, we hope to entrust Empress to capable and caring hands.

This vessel was constructed using a tugboat and boasts robust steel and a sturdy build. It is fitted with two engines, and the winch has a lifting capacity of up to 25 tons. The platform at the rear of the boat can be submerged from 2 to 20 meters underwater, and two dinghies are hoisted rather than pulled through the water. Additionally, there are four solar tanks on board. The boat previously hosted 10 guests for a three-week safari, and everything went smoothly. You can view here (https://www.liveaboard.com/diving/indonesia/empress-ii) that Empress is still currently operational.
