An 85' two masted single-hull sloop, this luxury motorized sailing yacht has a limited capacity of from 4 to 8 divers.  Offering accommodations in four passenger cabins that hold two persons, each cabin has a private toilet and shower, individual climate controls, ample lockers and drawers, and portholes or hatches that open to the ocean breezes.  
  

The elegant Sea Cloud boasts rich teak paneling and furnishing, including dining area and saloon complete with a TV, VCR and a stereo system with cassette player.  A rear awning-covered deck, or a sun-deck amidships provide great relaxation during the voyages, while a Zodiac tender ferries passengers on explorations to at least two islands for a private day of pre-planned excursions, as well as to and from dive sites.  

Two 225hp turbo diesels propel the vessel through these waters rich in lore.  Trips are generally for 7 nights, and the entire boat is available for charter. Dive trips include Darwin Bay, Santiago, Punto Garcia on Isabela, Santa Cruz, Leon Dormido ("Kicker Rock"), and Darwin Station.
