Te Streep was built for the Belgian government for hydrographic survey services. Being a government vessel she has always been well maintained. The present owner bought her in 2021 with the intention to convert her into an expeditionary cruiser that could be used to explore the Red Sea coastline. In 2022 Te Streep underwent an extensive refit in Belgium. The interiors were modernized and the cabins upgraded with air-conditioning and new furniture. 6 new ensuite bathrooms were installed in the passenger area and more for the crew who had no bathroom on the lower deck. Various TVs also for the crew were installed. A laundry was added, and the navigation equipment was upgraded to the required standards. Unnecessary equipment has been removed from the aft deck which is now very variable and can be used for a variety of activities, incl. storage of a submarine, ROVs with their LARS systems, air diving, etc. The various tenders and toys make the vessel attractive also for leisure activities. Te Streep has not only the 2 original survey launches but also a large RIB with 300hp, 2 Jet skis, a smaller RIB with 50hp, a giant water slide, an aft boarding platform of 8m x 4m, and various other toys. Te Streep is a unique, true Explorer ready for new adventures on all oceans.
