Built for divers

Wey Chieftain IV is a purpose built dive vessel with the design capability to transport up to 12 fully equipped divers quickly and comfortably to both inshore and offshore sites.

The vessel’s design is a displacement catamaran. Rather than plane over the water, she cuts through it giving speed combined with a dry ride. You may notice on board, the vessel has virtually no bow wave. She’s powered by two Yanmar 3.5l engines each providing 240 BHP of thrust, allowing us to reach offshore wrecks with short journey times.
