MSV Explorer SP-02 and MSVex Safari Combined Rig


First time available on the market is the unique and exciting MSV Explorer Combined Rig (Safari Class), delivered March 2012 anywhere in the world.

Unique Vessel offers easy access to the Sub-Surface World

The same fascination simply follows the Rig wherever she is moored. It is this kind of attention that will ensure that the MSVex Rig is fully booked all season, with a much higher net yield than normal if compared with other Marine Tourist Quayside Activities.


This radical new MSVex Safari offers safe, dry access, to the underwater world for a full range of leisure and commercial purposes. No specialist dive training is required to operate the craft, which offers a 360% panoramic view of the undersea world.


The unique MSV Explorer SP-02 Lifting Catamaran solves multiple launch and recovery problems and has a top speed of 22+ knots, according to seascape, allowing the vessel to deploy the MSVex Safari both rapidly and safely across a wide range of locations, carrying 12 guests plus two crew in comfort.

MSVex Safari

As anyone who has enjoyed the Discovery Channel will know, the majority of interesting marine life can be viewed within the first 10 metres below the surface of the ocean.


This is the Ocean Band within which MSVex Safari excels, as two passive observers can sit dry and in comfort behind the 40mm thick inverted acrylic hemisphere on the lower cockpit and enjoy the breath taking 360 degree panoramic view of all that surrounds, with the sounds of the ocean imported into the cockpit by virtue of the inbuilt hydrophonic system.


Add to this, the passenger hands on control option, along with a mounted wide angle underwater camera to capture the experience, which can be downloaded onto your own memory stick.


This is truly an experience of a lifetime, for all age groups, as from this vantage point you will be able to observe first hand, Whales, Dolphins and for the more adventurous, a face to face encounter with the mighty Great White Shark, all in complete safety, without the need for scuba gear and dive cage.
