Las Animas Eco Lodge
Sea Serpent is part of the latest generation of luxury dive vessels based on the award-winning Benetti Classic 35 yachts design. Combining famous design standards with our broad knowledge and long experience as a Red Sea and Marine Park liveaboard operator, we were able to create a luxurious vessel, unparalleled in speed, stability, comfort or spaciousness. Her hydrodynamic hull allows for optimum torque-to-displacement ratio increasing speed and stability and assuring comfortable cruising even in high seas.
Accommodations are offered in 8 cabins with two single beds or 1 queen bed in 2 suites; all with en-suite facilities. The well equiped cabins have individually controlled air-conditioning, mini bar, bathrobes and towels, among other services.
The salon is the perfect meeting place equipped with a variety of entertainment facilities.
Relaxation and sunbathing are ideally looked after on our two spacious, partially shaded sundecks.
The convenient layout and size of the dive deck will satisfy even the most demanding of divers.
