WHY THE PRICE

The honest reason

VELOCEAN has never run a discount. Since her launch in 2022 the published rate has been the same everywhere in the world, and every season has sold out.

These two November weeks are chartered by VELOCEAN's Korean distributor, SCUBAble. That is why the vessel's own website lists them as FULL. Our charter has open suites, and rather than sail with empty cabins we are selling them at 30% off to any certified diver.

You book with us. You sail on VELOCEAN. The yacht, the crew, the dive guides and the itinerary are exactly what a guest paying the published rate gets.
