About M/Y Gypsy

M/Y Gypsy is an 80 ft motor yacht running boutique diving trips in the Philippines from Dauin in Negros Oriental. Built in 2012 and completely refitted in 2021 by Dutch boatbuilder Frank van der Linde with interior designer Simone Schuil, she carries only 8 guests in 4 en-suite cabins across more than 250 m2 of space on three decks. Seakeeper gyro stabilisers cut boat roll by 95 percent, and her itineraries run from the UNESCO World Heritage reefs of Tubbataha to the thresher sharks of Malapascua and the walls of Bohol.
