Diversity II

MV Diversity II is a sleek and contemporary 67 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 II 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

MV Diversity II has a huge back deck for al fresco and bbq dining, plus indoor dining options. The open plan lounge features a large relaxed booth seating area and a TV for late night entertainment.

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.
