Diversity III

MV Diversity III is a sleek and contemporary 82 foot catamaran that can accommodate up to 12 guests. The twin hull design provides wide spacious areas to relax and unwind, yet has a low enough draft to access the most secluded anchorages.

After a day out on the water, MV Diversity III transforms into a space where you can relax and retreat. Chill out with a cocktail in our lounge or savour the sunset on the back deck as your chef prepares a stunning gourmet dinner.

Living Areas

Diversity III’s large internal space offers generous living areas to unwind after a day on the water. The lounge and interior is fully air-conditioned to give respite on hot Kimberley days. The vessel has 3 dining areas: the interior dining room, the back deck and the sundeck.

Sundeck

Located on the third level, Diversity III features a sundeck dining and bbq area which is a crowd favourite for a sunset drink , whale spotting and indulging in a moonlit dinner.

Cuisine

Diversity’s menus have been carefully crafted to showcase the very best of the local seafood and in season fresh produce. Rather than serving a banquet style
meal, as is the general standard on other tours, we serve almost all our meals a la carte and fresh to you.

MV Diversity III caters for 12 guests with 6 spacious ensuited rooms. All rooms are air conditioned with large panoramic windows. For internet access, the vessel has Starlink on board.
