The Sea Hunter is a 35 metre (115 foot) live-aboard that has been specifically built for long-range dive expeditions to destinations like Cocos Island and Malpelo. She accommodates 18 divers in comfort and convenience, and would be ideal for those looking for an exciting and remote live-aboard holiday.

A former commercial dive support vessel, she was robustly built in 1980 to serve the oil industry in the Gulf of Mexico. In 1994 she was purchased by the Sea Hunter group and underwent eight months of extensive renovation and refurbishing, turning the boat into the striking vessel she is today. A superbly comfortable, stable and spacious vessel with everything a serious diver/photographer could wish for. She is now a rare hybrid that combines the large working platform and powerful machinery of a functional work boat, with the comfortable and functional interior of a modern luxury yacht.
