At 183' / 55.78m and 1,396 GT, ALUCIA is exceptionally stable with massive volume. Originally named Nadir, she was built at Auroux, France, in 1974 as a launch platform for diving and submersible operations with Nautile under the direction of the French oceanographic Institute Ifremer.
She underwent a full refit which included the replacement of almost all pipework, wiring, machinery, joinery, and equipment. Her superstructure was redesigned to include a submersible hangar, a sundeck and a helicopter pad.
In mission mode, ALUCIA can accommodate up to 20 guests in 6 staterooms and can carry up to 22 crew. Staterooms are very spacious with large windows and lots of natural light.
Kindly note: ALUCIA is US Duty Paid.
