Your home away from home on this adventure will be the M/V Wind
Dancer. The M/V Wind Dancer is 120 feet, with a beam of 28
feet and a draft of 9 feet, displacing 260 tons. Originally built for
offshore service, this heavy steel vessel is solidly built and kind in
her sea keeping manners. As with all vessels of this category, the M/
V Wind Dancer is fully compliant with all requirements of the
international SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) Treaty with respect to
safety equipment, personnel, and training.
The M/V Wind Dancer is outfitted with a complete line of modern
marine electronics including a Global Positioning System
receiver (GPS), VHF (short range) and SSB (long range) radios, Radar, echo
depth sounder, weather fax, auto pilot, and EPIRB (Emergency Position
Indicating Radio Beacon).
An excellent feature of the M/V Wind Dancer is its upper deck area,
the Lido deck. This expansive space provides sunning areas with
chaise lounges, or shaded areas with tables and chairs. The Lido deck
is an ideal alfresco place for guests to relax, offering a
comfortable elevated vantage point for whale watching when not aboard
the tenders. The Lido deck will be the setting of our nightly
sundowner celebrations and stargazing opportunities, and is also
equipped with a secondary bar.
Relax on our top of the line spacious liveaboard!
Vessel Interior
The interior of the M/V Wind Dancer is comfortable, a warm and
inviting space, well appointed throughout. The main salon dining
hall has comfortable seating for the entire party. With the salon's large
picture windows, the whale watching doesn't have to stop simply
because one is indoors!
The salon is where guests will enjoy their meals, and will be the venue of various presentations, gatherings and discussions throughout the week. It is also equipped with a complete entertainment center and is the location of the vessel's main bar.
For guest accommodations, the M/V Wind Dancer sleeps a maximum of 18 guests in nine cabins. There are 8 Deluxe Staterooms, each with
