NOW AVAILABLE FOR CHARTER

Furthur at a remote anchorage in Coron
We are excited to be offering limited charters for 2-4 people in Jan- March 2018. This is a great opportunity for a private, customized adventure aboard a luxurious well-equipped yacht in the heart of Palawan, celebrated as a world class destination yet pristine and not crowded.
Come explore one of the most amazing areas on earth, Coron, Palawan. This area is well known for phenomenal wreck diving as 7 large Japanese ships were sunk in battle in a small area. I have been diving on the wrecks for 4 years and never tire of it. Steeped in history and exciting to see.
Coron is also a thermally active area creating great hot springs, and the oh so bizarre Barracuda Lake,, where at a depth of 10 meters the temp rises to over 40C (105F)

Dolphins point the way to Apo Reef

World class wreck diving.
We will enjoy isolated anchorages out of the way of the normal tourist traffic where you can swim, snorkel and kayak the day away and enjoy solitude on white sandy beaches. Weather permitting, we can also include a trip to the famed Apo Reef in your adventure (slight extra cost)
As we are specializing in custom adventures for couples, we can customize your week aboard. Be it more diving, more relaxing or exploring we will set an itinerary to your needs, this separates us from the normal livaboard boats with many guests. We can also include instruction in all the aspects of cruising for those considering this life style with our Trawler School.
Life in Coron will include diving all the major wrecks plus Barracuda Lake, several nights in remote anchorages and some next to our friend’s boutique fairy tale like resort where you enjoy fine dining and a breath taking sunset while sipping on a cocktail in the pool.


A typical day: rise at your leisure, healthy breakfast and a dive or two (these are pretty deep diving so 2 a day is max) relax a bit, lunch, then a kayak ride, swim or explore. We will move every day, usually in the afternoon. Anchor just in time for sunset and a snack, then dine under the stars and maybe take in a movie or join for some music with the singing Captain,
