Overview of Palau Siren
The S/Y Palau Siren luxury liveaboard is the newest member of the Siren Fleet, launched in July 2012 to offer diving trips in Komodo prior to sailing to Palau where she starts operation in October 2012. She has the same specifications as her sister yachts, the S/Y Philippine Siren and the S/Y Indo Siren. The cabins are either fixed double or twin bed, however we offer flexibility with 2 cabins which can be converted from twin to double to suit the needs of our guests. The dining area is very spacious offering a great setting for all your meals. The dive deck is perhaps the most spacious and comfortable you would have experienced. Designated areas for charging and preparation of your camera and video equipment, the S/Y Palau Siren, as all Siren Fleet liveaboard yachts, truly sets out to be the pros choice for underwater photography and videography.
Built on the Indonesian Island of Sulawesi, she is a traditional "gaft rigged Phinisi" handcrafted from ironwood and teak. You will find no other dive liveaboard as beautiful in the waters of Micronesia, and being that she was built by divers for divers you can rest assured every need has been thought of and is being implemented.
