Private expedition yacht with exploration capabilities

The original accommodations deck was gutted and the 60` long passageway was expanded and transformed, to create the "Art Gallery" as a design entity in and of itself to display the lavish images produced by these deep sea explorers.

Each of the staterooms opens on to this "grotto like" artistic display of marine life. At the aft end of the gallery is the heli-deck that also connects to the lower submersible deck. Guests arriving via helicopter get the first opportunity to view the latest in underwater photography as they pass through on the way to their accommodations and the bridge deck above.

Naval architect, Boris Kirilloff, was brought in to engineer the project and design a helicopter pad and hanger for both the bird and the subs which track to their respective berths. He also did extensive renovations of the crew`s quarters and science labs.

The Marine Artisans Group fabricated and installed the interior.

The rebuild is fully underway in Seattle by Deep Ocean Quest and is expected to be fully operational and ready by February 2009.
