| Kiana is
a 60ft (16.5m) cutter rigged ketch that was launched in 1990. Purpose
built as a charter sail and dive vessel no compromises were made in
Kiana's design and fit out. Kiana's powerful diesel engine ensures
you're never stranded if the wind should drop. |
| Maximum
14 Passengers
Kiana carries a maximum of 14 passengers ensuring that our guests
are never crowded. |
| Professional
Crew of Three
Our crew consists of a qualified Skipper, Dive Instructor
and Cook/Deckhand. A crew of three ensures that Kiana's guests
never lack attention. |
| All
Meals Prepared Fresh on Board
All meals are prepared on board Kiana from fresh ingredients.
Our unique "marine hungi" will satisfy the gourmet within you.
The Hungi is a traditional New Zealand Maori method of cooking in
an earth oven. On Kiana we have adapted this concept with our
own marine version. |
|
| Roomy Air-conditioned Interior
Being a deep draft vessel Kiana is particularly roomy below decks.
Air-conditioning provides comfortable temperatures in the heat of
the tropics. The quality of Kiana's teak finish provides an
ambience that cannot be matched by the plastic alternatives. |
| Private
Twin Cabins Available
Kiana has shared single and shared double accommodation. If you require more privacy we have
private twin cabins available for a small extra charge. |
| Large
Bathrooms with Ample Fresh Hot Water
Kiana has two large bathrooms with electric toilets and freshwater
showers. Our high capacity hot water system ensure that hot
water is always available. |
| Large
Permanently Shaded Aft Deck
The tropical sun can be very severe, particularly on those with
fair skin from cooler climates. Kiana provides the best of
both worlds with ample deck space for sun baking and a huge
permanently shaded rear deck where you can cool off. The
rear deck also provides protection from the elements on those rare
occasions when there is a tropical rain shower. |
| Fully Equipped including Dive Compressor
Kiana is fully equipped for both snorkelling and scuba diving so
all you need to bring is a smile. Kiana has an onboard high
capacity dive compressor so your diving will not be limited to the
number of spare scuba tanks that can be carried as is
the case with most sail and dive vessels. |
| Those
Little Extras
Kiana has many extras that help to improve the quality of your
adventure. For example Kiana's galley is fully electric with a dishwasher
and microwave/convention oven. And we even have a
Clothes Dryer onboard for
those days where you need a dry towel. |
