Many have crowned MV Sea Hunter as the gold standard to which all other liveaboards should aspire. She is a superbly stable and robust craft, formerly a commercial dive-support vessel, built to serve the oil industry in the Gulf of Mexico. Now redesigned and configured as a consummate hybrid, Sea Hunter combines the large platform, functionality and powerful machinery of a workboat with the comfortable and relaxed interior of a modern yacht. She is 115 feet of flexible capacity and convenience, a dedicated dive cruiser with a global reach, specifically designed and built for long-range expeditions to destinations like Cocos Island.
Sea Hunter has 10 guest cabins with ensuite bathrooms, providing accommodation for up to 20 passengers. This spacious boat is everything that a serious diver or photographer could wish for – individual gear storage, private camera/strobe storage shelves with 110 and 220-volt AC power, zero-speed stabilizers and even a private washer and dryer for client’s towels and bathing suits. Sea Hunter has introduced adventure divers, as well as professional photographers and cinematographers, to an entirely new level of liveaboard standard. The unique DeepSee submersible, carried onboard Argo liveaboard, is also accessible to guests on Sea Hunter when they are at Cocos Island at the same time.
