DIAMANTE: Description   back to top

   Diamante is a 112 ft. / 34 m. brigantine schooner Motor Sailer, a modern scaled-down version of the great naval training ships, capable of a cruising speed of 9 knots.

   She comfortably accommodates 12 passengers in six cabins with upper/lower berths. Each cabin has private facilities with fresh, hot and cold water shower and manually operated heads.

   Diamante has a bright and airy deck house where the main salon/dining room is. The beamed main salon is decorated with beautiful mahogany and teak wood and offers 360 degrees visibility. It is also possible to dine outside, around the teak table aft of the pilot house. There are expansive deck areas, perfect for resting and being in the open-air.
