Avalon

Sail to the outer reaches of the Bahamas to dive into spectacular coral reefs that few people have ever visited. The Avalon is a 65-ft ketch rigged sailboat designed for divers. Diving in the Bahamas on the Avalon is fun and easy. By visiting the Bahamas on this vessel, you’ll have the opportunity to experience dive sites unreachable by land-based dive operators.

You can enjoy lounging in the sun on deck between dives, or try your hand at deep sea fishing, where every strike is an adventure! If that isn’t your game, just sit and swap tall tales with other divers. No experience needed, as a diving instructor is always on board. However, the experienced divers haven’t lived until they’ve accomplished a fantastic day of diving aboard the Avalon and spent the night on board in a remote tropical anchorage.

The Main Salon in the Avalon comfortably seats twelve with available audio visual entertainment. We have six cabins with en suite sinks. Five of our cabins have double bunks that can be made into a double with a single upper bunk. We also have one cabin that has two single bunks. Avalon is equipped with two separate heads and showers. All living quarters are air-conditioned.
