Description
Top

The 29 - meter M / V Philkade, launched in 2002, has been designed specifically for luxury live-aboard diving cruises. This 5 - star comfort for a limited number provides the answer for those tired of compromising between exceptional diving and discomfort and those who prefer diving amidst a school of fish rather than a school of divers. Built to meet all international standards, M/V Philkade is equipped with the latest electronics and safety equipment and is capable of transoceanic cruises.

The saloon and dining place offer an amazing 70 sqm surface. The aft deck entrance door opens to the saloon, on the left lays a ‘wave shape’ leather sofa and 2 black granite coffee tables. On the right, an ‘L shape’ leather Sofa with a black granite table. An integrated wood cabinet shelters the TV and home theater, small fridge, cabinets and drawers and is connected on one side to a Bar with black granite top. The en suite dining space can also be accessed from a separate deck door and is furnished with a black granite dining table, an ‘L shape’ leather sofa and an electric dumbwaiter connecting to the galley on the upper deck.

There is a PC workstation on Philkade which is dedicated for the viewing of digital photos and video. The computer has most necessary software programs and a CD burner for you to back up your treasures.

MV Philkade is fitted with a large stern dive platform with two exit ladders and fresh water showers.
