Infiniti

The Infiniti, a 39-meter (133-foot) steel vessel, accommodates 22 guests in 11 cabins. Her itineraries include Tubbataha, Visayas, Bohol, Malapascua, Leyte & Wrecks of Coron.

A word from Dom : “The Infiniti, after a successful tenure in the Andaman Islands, moved to the Philippines where she adds a mid-sized option to the previous mix of liveaboards. Although the cabins are frankly a bit 1970’s, she has lots of deck space, nice interior living areas and the crew runs a very good operation.” Dominick Macan
