The Halton

The Halton 2003.

Halton Charters offers day-boat or live aboard charters to divers in Scapa Flow and beyond, mainly operating from Stromness. Built to withstand the worst of the weather for her former life as a trawler, the Halton is now a sturdy, capable dive boat. She is just short of 70ft in length and 17ft in width, so there is plenty of space for 12 divers to kit up and then to relax after the dive.

She was originally built in Denmark in 1973 in the distinctive Danish style. In the winter of 2002/3 she underwent a major conversion, moving the wheelhouse forward so as to allow space for a galley/saloon above deck whilst six twin berth cabins were fitted out below deck. Halton Charters is now able to offer full live-aboard charters in the Flow and further afield: trips have sucessfully run as far afield as Shetland, Sule Skerry, North Rona and Kyle of Tongue.
