The Turks & Caicos Explorer II is a custom-designed liveaboard dive boat, accommodating 20 guests in 10 well-appointed cabins. Split across three decks, two Master Staterooms are located on the Upper Deck, accessed by an exterior walkway, and these feature a queen bed and window. There are five Main Deck Staterooms with either queen or twin bed configuration and window, while a further three Lower Deck Staterooms offer an upper and lower bunk with porthole. Linen, towels and toiletries are provided. Soft luggage is recommended for storage purposes.
Equipped with two tenders, she offers a large air-conditioned saloon where breakfast and dinner are served, as well as an entertainment centre and the galley. There is a sundeck and a flybridge with an awning that offers plenty of seating, a BBQ and a wet bar. There are also outdoor showers and space to hang up wetsuits between excursions. Wetsuits and snorkelling equipment may be hired onboard, and credit cards are accepted. There is no WiFi or cell phone reception in Silver Bank, so consider this a chance to digitally detox and immerse yourself in all things whales.
Each tender comfortably accommodates ten guests, with cushioned bench space, splash rails to minimise spray, covered bow to protect dry articles and camera, and an abundance of under seat storage for snorkelling gear and other equipment. The seating area is protected from the sun, and heavy-duty ladders facilitate easy re-entry into the tender after in-water encounters. The tenders are environmentally-conscious and the quiet engines eliminate exhaust fumes and minimise acoustic disruption, providing a more comfortable experience for guests and the whales.
