Solmar V

Solmar V

Crafted in 1980 and fully renovated in 2006, this 112 ft steel-hulled liveaboard with warm wood interiors has served as a trusted platform for expeditions to the Revillagigedo Archipelago (Socorro), Guadalupe, and the Sea of Cortez for more than 25 years. The vessel hosts 22 guests in 12 comfortable cabins, offering a mix of single, standard, and superior accommodations. Each cabin is air-conditioned, features a private bathroom, and provides eco-friendly toiletries.

Onboard, you will find a spacious salon finished with mahogany and granite, an entertainment system, a salon bar, a sun deck with loungers, and a dedicated camera room with charging stations. The shaded dive deck is equipped with rinse tanks, hot water showers, camera tables, and two tender boats for smooth access to dive sites.

The vessel supports both DIN and Yoke fittings, sidemount diving, and offers complete gear rental services. Powered by twin Detroit 500 HP engines, cruising at about 10 knots, with a 30,000-liter fuel capacity and a freshwater maker producing over 3,200 liters daily, the Solmar V is built for long-range comfort and reliability.

Safety is always the top priority. The experienced crew maintains rigorous standards, with annual inspections, emergency oxygen, EPIRB, first aid equipment, life rafts, fire systems, and depth sounders always onboard.

Solmar V is not just a dive boat. It is your home on the water for immersive, conservation-driven expeditions through some of the Pacific’s most iconic marine environments. With comfort, safety, top-tier dive facilities, and a true spirit of ocean stewardship, every journey on the Solmar V is unforgettable.
