In all, she has logged nearly 200,000 nautical miles since launch and made a successful transit of the North West Passage in 2001.

MCA compliant, Dione Sky has accommodation for 10 guests in a master suite, two double staterooms and two twin cabins, all en suite. She received an extensive refit/rebuild in 2007. Twin 819hp Caterpillar engines give her a cruising speed of 12 knots and a range of 7,000 nautical miles. Both engines were completely rebuilt in early 2013 meaning that Dione Sky is now ready for more worldwide adventures.
