S/Y Quest
A remarkably spacious 64-foot steel-hulled expedition yacht, purpose-built for both sailing and dive charters. Her Level 4 ice-class welds — the same standard used on icebreakers — and Swedish Maritime Authority certification for Southern Ocean and Antarctica operations set her apart from any ordinary sailing vessel.
The Boat
S/Y Quest is a 64-foot steel-hulled expedition yacht, 16.7 feet wide, purpose-built for both sailing and dive charters. Designed with long-range, off-grid expeditions in mind, she combines the comfort of a cruising yacht with the capability of a professional dive vessel.
What truly sets Quest apart is her construction: her welds are certified to Level 4 — the same classification used on icebreakers — and she has been surveyed and approved by the Swedish Maritime Authority for operations in some of the world's most extreme environments, including the Southern Ocean and Antarctica.
Quest's dive deck is highly unique for a vessel of her size. Featuring dual tank racks with fill stations, divers can leave their BCDs and tanks in place for easy, efficient refills. A central camera table and a dedicated 80-liter rinse bin cater to underwater photographers, while the custom-built dive ladder ensures smooth entry and exit from the water. The cockpit seats ten comfortably, and wide flush side decks provide walk-around access typically found only on much larger vessels.
