Introducing the 112-foot Solmar V, the newest and most luxurious live-aboard dive vessel in the world. Only Solmar V offers 12 individual staterooms with full private bathrooms, color TVs and VCRs. As our guest, you will receive unmatched service and comfort during the dive experience of a lifetime.

Solmar V is the only luxury live-aboard vessel departing directly from Cabo San Lucas, well within range of the best diving in the Sea of Cortez. Join us aboard Solmar V as we explore such dive sights as Gorda Banks, Las Animas, El Jabo and, of course, Cabo Pulmo -- the only living coral reef on the west coast of North America. Dive with giant mantas, whale sharks, and schools of hammerheads. Discover why Baja is known as a "pelagic paradise."

For the adventurous diver, plan a trip to explore the islands of Socorro, Clarion and San Benedicto. Known as the "Mexican Galapagos," these remote islands offer some of the most pristine diving in the world. Dive with whitetip, Galapagos, tiger and hammerhead sharks. Tickle the belly of 20-foot giant mantas and watch them come back for more! (Tuna, dolphins, whale sharks and other giants are all waiting.)

Fine Dining
Although diving is the primary function of your trip aboard Solmar V , it is only part of your vacation experience. The galley and lounge have been carefully designed to guarantee a most enjoyable setting. Our main salon comfortably seats all of our guests, is fully air-conditioned and designed with a rich mahogany interior. Televisions with VCRs are available for your entertainment.

Each day brings three gourmet meals, prepared by our chef and served to you by our staff. Snacks and afternoon receptions, along with beer, wine and soda, are all included in the price of your trip.

Special Charters & Club Trips
Your company or organization can reserve an entire sailing for an extra-special retreat, incentive trip or club event. The quality of service and accommodations aboard Solmar V provide an excellent atmosphere for fostering business relationships, rewarding employees for a job well done or just having a good time. Custom itineraries and non-diving cruises are but a few of the many possibilities on Solmar V .

Experience - Power - Comfort
Solmar V combines all the service expected of a deluxe resort hotel with the special requirements of a luxury live-aboard dive vessel.

Our entire crew is familiar with the Cape region, and our dive masters, provided by Amigos Del Mar, have over 25 years of Baja diving experience. Two 12 V71 main engines and three full-time generators power Solmar V to a cruising speed of 11 knots. Two fresh water makers produce 1,600 gallons per day, more than adequate to fully support the Solmar V's showers and guest services. Our 12 individual staterooms are air-conditioned, have private bathrooms with sink, shower and head, and also come equipped with a color television and built-in VCR. Side scanning sonar, multiple radar systems, and the most modern electronic marine technology package provide an excellent complement to an experienced crew. Twin compressors, with cascade storage for fast filling, provide our guests with an endless air supply.
