The Pelagian was built at the Batservice Verft A/S Shipyard in Mandal,
Norway, as a elegant world-ranging motor yacht.
Her construction was to Lloyd's +100A1 yacht and +LMC classification,
and she was stoutly built to travel the world's oceans in comfort and
safety. Pelagian cruises at 9 knots and she has a range of over 8,000
nautical miles! Onboard water-makers and over 20 tons of fresh water in
the tanks mean that we don't need to worry about having an extra shower
or rinsing our cameras one more time!
Measuring 35 meters (115 feet) overall in length, her beam is 7.5 meters
(24 feet) and her draft is 3.4 meters (11 feet). At 245 metric tons, she has
the size and heft to provide us with a secure base for our exploration
of the aquatic world.
Pelagian is air-conditioned throughout and offers en-suite accommodation
(private bathrooms) in six cabins, ranging from the Standard Cabins
up to the Master Suite.

Comfort In and Out of the Water
The Pelagian's two custom-made 18ft rigid hull inflatable (RIB) dive tenders are equipped
with double 60HP outboard engines, tank racks and secure stainless steel ladders (no need
to enter the boat like a stranded seal:). These tenders are comfortable and very easy to
enter and exit. Diving is mainly done off the tenders as they allow divers to go directly
to the dive sites more accurately than the main ship.
Tanks are quickly filled using whips from the Pelagian so there's no need to take the gear
off the tenders until the end of the cruise. Our friendly, camera-aware crew is always
ready to lend a hand.
