Cabins: The Solmar V accommodates 22 guests. While they’re a bit tight, each is beautifully appointed. in the crossing time, all Soccoro Island trips run nine days in length, providing 5 full and one half day of diving. When weather conditions are favorable, the Solmar V will often cross over to Roca Partida to spend a day or two taking in the slender spire of rock in the middle of nowhere’s hot pelagic action. Due to the Solmar V’s increased fuel efficiency enables it to be one of the only vessels currently NOT asking guests to pay a fuel surcharge. The Solmar V has a large crew, and all of them, from Captain Gerrardo to jack-of-all-trades, Francisco, are conscientious, accommodating and friendly. Chef Pedro prepares wonderful meals. Besides coffee and tea, breakfast always features a large platter of fresh fruit — including melons, papaya and kiwi fruit — along with yogurt, cereal, pan dulce (Mexican sweet breads) and juice. Eggs with toast and, depending on the day, hash browns, bacon, ham or sausage, were also offered. There are always homemade soups for lunch. The entrée might be cheeseburgers and fries or grilled chicken breasts or fish fillets, usually with vegetables (broccoli, squash, cauliflower) steamed al dente. There was always a luscious dessert, too. Dinners start with a salad of fresh vegetables and included a variety of entrees - fish, chicken, shrimp, pork chops or steak — along with fresh vegetables and perhaps rice or mashed potatoes. The desserts, from a bakery in Cabo, are suitably delicious: cheesecake, pies, and cakes. Beer and wine are included in the cost of the trip and several times a week, specialty drinks, such as margaritas and tequila sunrises are offered. The only complaint I heard about any of the meals was www.underwaterjournal.com June/July 2007
The comfortable main salon features four U-shaped booths and four two-person tables. Inbetween dives, guests often relax in air conditioned surroundings to read, watch a movie or play a game of backgammon. that the portions were too large. The boat runs three itineraries - the Islas Revillagigedo’s (a.k.a, Socorro Islands) from November through May; the Sea of Cortez (for both scuba and Baja nature cruises) in June and the middle of October, with Guadalupe Island for cage diving with great white sharks thrown in during August and September before returning to its Socorro itinerary in November. v For more information visit www.Solmarv.com. “WOW -- What is that?” www.fishid.com www.underwaterjournal.com June/July 2007
