R/V Sealth Returns to Seattle
June 22, 2010
Global Seas, a Seattle-based maritime management company, would like to announce the R/V Sealth is joining the Global Seas research vessels on the west coast and will be docked in Seattle. The R/V Sealth, a 55 ft. Catamaran Cruiser, was based in Chesapeake Bay, Florida for the past five years completing shallow water survey expeditions.
The Sealth, owned and operated by Global Seas, is available for charter in the Pacific Northwest and ideal platform for shallow water surveys or dive expeditions. This 55 foot Catamaran Cruiser built with two decks and 45,000-lb displacement, has an overall breadth of 20’ and a draft of 2 feet, 10inches. Built in 2000 by All-American Marine, she includes three comfortable workstations, a separate air conditioned computer room and full galley. To assist with your next mission, the vessel is outfitted with a 4,800 pound capacity A-frame, stern crane and 35” x 35” moon pool.
Robert Desautel, President of Global Seas says “We are excited to have the Sealth back in Seattle where she can be utilized for charters in Pacific Northwest waters.”
