Voyages are conducted aboard the award-winning Moorings Leopard catamarans. These elegantly designed and precision built vessels incorporate safety features, large deck space, a roomy cockpit, light and ergonomic galley, and an enormous transom (for easy entry and exit from the water while wearing SCUBA gear), with an advanced sail plan that makes them fast and easy to sail. These vessels offer comfortable accommodations, excellent safety and quality construction. The perfect choice for our trips, the catamarans provide a stable platform that allows us to dive in all conditions and have plenty of room to store our gear. Full equipment is provided aboard for each participant and there is no sharing of SCUBA gear or waiting for your turn to dive. As we dive directly off our yachts, you do not have to wait around for a dive boat to pick you up, allowing you much more adventure.
The Moorings is the charter industry leader with superior customer service, impeccable vessel maintenance, and a commitment to providing the best sailing vacations in the world. No compromise has been made in selecting the Moorings vessels for our programs. Other seemingly comparable monohulls and catamarans honestly do not rise to the quality, spaciousness, stability, comfort, or appropriateness for summer adventure programs that the Moorings vessels provide.
