MV Bavaria

High-quality and comfortable

Liveaboard in quality vessel MV Bavaria is a holiday at its best. The ship’s facilities and lovely crew make sure that a good mood is in the air also between dives.

On the German-owned ship, safety is top class and schedules are adhered to. The quality of this safari boat shows in the small but important things. The steel-hulled vessel is 28 meters long and 6.5 meters wide and can accommodate 24 customers comfortably.

The comfortable, air-conditioned cabins have real spring mattresses in the beds, so you can rest well between dives. The doors of the cabins open to the sea, so what could be more wonderful than opening the door in the morning and looking at the beautiful scenery from your own bed. The food is delicious and breakfast is enjoyed with real coffee.

And most importantly, the ship’s owner Markus is an avid diver himself, so the best destinations are guaranteed.
