About Us

With over 50 years of combined experience in the diving liveaboard industry, our team has spent decades exploring the most remote and beautiful corners of the Asia–Pacific.

After spending the last three years living aboard one of the Philippine Explorer vessels and navigating the waters of Southeast Asia, we realised something important — the future of liveaboard travel isn’t just beneath the surface.

It’s about exploration in every sense: the ocean, the islands, the jungle trails, the waterfalls, the wildlife, and the cultures that make the Philippines so extraordinary.

We loved every second of that journey and decided others should be able to experience it too — to enjoy the freedom and luxury of their own private yacht for a week or a month, without the complexities of owning or operating it.

Our Story

Our Vision

We created Philippine Explorer to redefine the liveaboard experience — blending diving, adventure, and luxury in a way that celebrates the Philippines’ natural diversity both above and below the surface.

Our approach is deeply rooted in innovation, sustainability, and excellence. We saw an industry that was slowing down in those areas — and we decided to change it.

For us, Philippine Explorer is more than a charter; it’s an invitation to discover the Philippines through a lens of raw beauty and modern design, where every voyage is personal, seamless, and unforgettable.

Pioneering the future of diving adventure tours

As lifelong divers, and ocean-lovers, we know the future of exploration must also protect the seas we love.

All of our upcoming vessel projects focus entirely on hybrid-electric propulsion and advanced marine systems that reduce emissions, increase safety, and create a quieter, smoother experience for our guests.

We are proud to be among the first in the Philippines to take this step — raising the bar and setting a new standard for sustainable, luxury liveaboard exploration.

Behind the Scenes

Beyond our charter operations, our team is leading one of the region’s most ambitious maritime transformations; the conversion of former Royal Australian Navy minehunters into modern expedition superyachts.

This mammoth project reflects our commitment to innovation, sustainability and excellence — values that define everything we do at Philippine Explorer.
