M/Y Sky Dancer is a 30 metre steel hull liveaboard. Discover both on board the M/Y Sky Dancer, a 16-passenger 100-foot custom designed dive live-aboard. Built in 2001, the Sky Dancer offers the newest and best-equipped vessel and ultimate diving experience in Galapagos for serious divers.
Radiant fish and bizarre animals emblazon the waters around the Galapagos and exhilarate divers and snorkelers. Seventeen percent of the fish and 35% of the marine invertebrates in the Galapagos are found only in this isolated archipelago. The abundance of otherworldly underwater animals evokes a sense of exploration and mystery.
Divers appreciate the large dive platform with fresh water showers, fresh water rinses, dive deck assistance and photo and dive equipment rental services. Zodiacs will ferry you between exquisite dive sites and the anchored yacht. Most underwater forays are drift dives. The Sky Dancer offers up to four dives per day on a pre-planned, yet flexible itinerary.
The nine-person crew includes your captain, two Dive Instructors or divemaster /naturalist, and six crewmembers on hand to ensure that your Galapagos voyage transcends into a treasured adventure.
