MY Stormbird - A boat with history!

 
   

The oldest boat of our fleet! Actually this boat is in Suez now – in the dry dock- since more than two years. It will be renovated completely very soon. We do that with a lot of consideration to details since this is our duty for more than 12 years experience with diving and tourism comfort and service. We decided to give it a new outfit. It will be ready for you by autumn 2005 as a boat belonging to the comfort-class and with a new name: M/Y Stormbird. Who assumes that it will only have a repaint is mistaken. About 90% of the boat will be renewed! We started with the plank of the hull and we are building new cabins with shower, toilet, and air-condition. The technical parts of the boat will be modernized completely and the salon will be renewed as well.
Like in Firebird we set great store for a lot of place at important areas like the divedeck, sundeck and salon. The cabins are made in the same way as in Firebird for comfortable nightrides. For your own comfort the max. number of guests is only 16.

We are looking forward with pleasure to see a piece of diving history back to the Red Sea!!!!
