Welcome to Sailing Yacht Colona

COLONA II have been around for over 20 years. "Around" can be taken literally as they have circumnavigated the world together twice.

Chartering started in 1977 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, then literally consisting of one hut on the beach, now a bustling dive resort, famous worldwide. COLONA II was probably the first yacht ever to enable divers to take out trips to Southern Egypt, Sudan, Yemen, and Djibouti as well as being the first to dive many of the sites that are now world-famous.

 

 

COLONA II has another first: diving and sightseeing trips in the MERGUI ARCHIPELAGO in Burma. COLONA II was one of very first foreign yachts able to legally operate in these waters. The islands are absolutely pristine with prolific bird-and wildlife, waterfalls and rivers navigable by dinghy.

 

The beaches are spotlessly clean and the waters crystal-clear. Save a small number of Sea Gypsy settlements the entire archipelago is uninhabited.

 

Coffee, tea, cold drinking water and snacks are there for you at all times. Soft drinks, beer and imported wines are available on board.

 

Spacious aft deck with well-organized dive benches provides ample place for kitting up and off and ensures that between dives no gear clutters the boat.

 

The Diving

 

Colona's compressor is electrically driven and, as it is mounted down below in the bow, causes no disturbing noise to the guests at all. Custom made swimladder facilitates entry to the yacht and a 3,50m RIB tender does the same for drift dives. There is ample A/C 110 & 220 volt power for charging strobes and torches, a rinsing bin is on the aft deck to flush your UW camera. Diving is for certified divers only, normally no courses are taught on board
