Facilities and Accommodation
The Motor-sailor “DIAMANTE” is the perfect answer to the needs of a small-sized group or family-charter.
- If it is a natural and romantic setting you envisioned you could not have wished for a better classic yacht.
- She can accommodate up to 12 passengers in 6 double cabins tastefully furnished with mahogany and teak paneling. All cabins have, of course, private facilities.
- Air-conditioning, hot water, mini-bar, a small library, VCR and a music sound-system.
- A cozy yet ample saloon/dinette invites us to read, chat or attend the briefings and lectures given by your naturalist-guide or… you may opt to dine-and-wine topside “al-fresco” on her sheltered poop-deck.
