Diamante

The DiamanteItinerary
Deck plan

The Motor-sailor “Diamante” is the perfect answer to the needs of a small-sized group or family-charter. For a natural and romantic setting, you could not wish for a better classic yacht.

She can accommodate up to 12 passengers in 6 double cabins tastefully furnished with mahogany and teak paneling. All cabins have, of course, private facilities.

  • air-conditioning
  • hot water
  • mini-bar
  • a small library
  • VCR
  • music sound-system.

A cozy yet ample saloon/dinette invites us to read, chat or attend the briefings and lectures given by your naturalist-guide, or you may opt to wine-and-dine topside “al-fresco” on her sheltered poop-deck.
